Description
Vehicles often drive much too fast in this area. There are many pedestrians including school children and handicapped. Also, many vehicles treat this area as two lanes in one direction. There have been multiple accidents in this area over the past year. Suggest adding new signage to enforce single lane use. And strongly suggest putting in speed humps on Fountain St between Dayton and Alden (similar to what was constructed on Edwards In East Rock) to deter constant speeding in this area.

Please submit this issue through New Haven’s “Complete Streets” program. To do this, please visit the Engineering Department’s “Complete Streets” website. Link Below:

There you will find a “Complete Streets Manual” and “Project Request Form”. The department has developed an entire program around improving New Haven’s streets in order to provide safer and more convenient access to a greater number of transportation modes. This issue is a good example of the types of ideas that fall under the “Complete Streets” scope.
A focal point of this program is to include feedback and ideas for street improvements from members of the community. You will also find previously submitted project requests from other community members.
