Description

Wolcott and Ferry St visibility. Is there anything that can be done at the end of this street? Stop signs, pedestrian yield signs or blinking lights to slow drivers down or enforcing the do not park sign so drivers can turn at that intersection coming out of Wolcott St? I have seen pedestrians oftenly trying to cross and cars just speed as nothing. A teen almost got hurt crossing. Children await to cross to get to Fair Haven School for either school or their summer program. As a driver, there is also no visibility since two pick up trucks with fridge and washers and other vehicles block the view as they park on the corner at Ferry. Anyone coming from Wolcott can't see. Can we get something done before there is another accident at that intersection?!?

A patrol enforcement officer will be dispatched to this intersection. We will also send out the sign crew to inspect this intersection to determine whether addtional signage is needed. Thank you for the post.

The sign crew inspected this intersection. They will be installing a one way sign on Ferry St. heading north toward Wolcott St.. The patrol enforcement officers will once again patrol this area and ticket any vehicles that are illegally parked. If illegal parking is still an issue, please contact the department at (203) 946-8075 and refer to this issue.

Thank you.

A one way sign has always been there, That isnt the issue. Its the fact that there is no visibility on turning right nor left. One basicly needs to go all the way up just to get a clear view. Cars are still being parked although there is a sign that says no parking and some are speeding when one is trying to turn. It goes the same for trying to cross the street during school hours. I will contact the number provided but hope something is done soon. Also view recent pic.

Not sure whats more ridiculous trying to get this issue solved or trying to contact DPT with no response. During school hours its even more hectic trying to cross.

The department continues to watch this issue and has sent parking enforcement officers periodically to ticket vehicles if they are illegally parked at the corners.

The Department needs to stripe lines, and/or install curb extensions, so that this permanently ceases to be an issue. Slowing the speeds on Ferry, using typical traffic calming methods, would also help tremendously.
