Description
Cars, trucks and busses NEVER yield to pedestrians in crosswalk. What makes it even more dangerous is when one side of traffic stops and the other doesn't. A large "YIELD TO PEDESTRIANS" sign is urgently needed IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. Having a crossing guard during school hours IS NOT ENOUGH. Townsend Ave has become a speedway.
Towndsend Avenue needs traffic calming measures that match the pedestrian crosswalks in East Rock and other parts of the city. The original ticket for this was opened in 2010. Eight years later nothing has been done.

This is what I found out five years ago (three years after the original ticket was opened):
SAFER CROSS WALK FOR OUR CHILDREN?
According to Chuck Harlow’s office at The State Department of Transportation, The City of New Haven was approved to install a flashing yellow light in front of Nathan Hale School that turned red when a pedestrian wanted to cross. This was conditional that the City of New Haven pay for the price of the construction.

Jim Travers Director of The New Haven Department of Transportation, Traffic, and Parking would be the person to contact if you would like to see this project pushed forward.

If you are interested in speeding up the process of a safer, pedestrian friendly Townsend Avenue for our children, please make a call to the State of Ct via Chuck Harlow or The City of New Haven via Jim Travers! Thank you in advance!
