I agree! Orange street should be cleared to the pavement. It's the most travelled road since it leads to the highway entrance/exit. This should be top priority for East Rock/SoHu. When the streets off of Orange look better, there is a slight problem! My street is pretty good, but Orange should be done first- its pretty dangerous right now.

Are there signs on the side of the street that denote Orange Street as a snow route? I would imagine that Whitney Avenue and State Street are the snow routes. If there are signs that denote it a snow route, it will get attention tonight.

More than likely, it's a smaller road, and will be addressed on Wednesday night from 6pm-6am. There will be a parking ban in effect for the entire city - no parking on the ODD sides, all cars must park on the EVEN side of the street. In addition to the parking ban, there is more weather coming this way.

This snow removal map is not very helpful but is available at the city's website: http://cityofnewhaven.com/PublicWorks/pdfs/SNOW%20ROUTES%202007.pdf

I'm going to be the jerk that says that no cars on Orange Street should be a permanent thing. That said I realize that this would be impossible for business and residents. What if we shut down Orange Street to cars on Sundays to get back our Snowtopia permanently? Just saying.

That map seems just about useless to me - but maybe I'm not reading it right.

thanks guys tge street is much better now. new haven rocks.
