Description
I almost got into a horrible accident this morning trying to make a left onto Orange St from Bishop St and the frustrating part is that it's not the first time! Nica's Market is to the left and all day long, huge delivery trucks park illegally in the bus stop on the corner. This makes it impossible for cars trying to make a right or left out of Bishop St to see traffic coming from their left. This has been an issue for years and I don't know why nothing has been done! The intersection needs a light or the NH police need to enforce the law of not parking in a bus stop. Nica's had a parking lot, they need to figure out a place for the delivery trucks to safely park. Today, I barely missed colliding with a speeding car, coming at me from the left side. Had they hit me, it would have been square in the drivers side door. Maybe if I had been seriously injured in a fiery wreck, complete with media coverage, the city would do something about it!!!!!

this is getting tedious already. 'ongoing' is being gracious.
i'm afraid lauren might be right. somebody has to get nailed before anything happens.
if the 'no parking zone' was enforced, we'd be fine.
(since when are trucks immune to getting ticketed??)
as a bishop street resident, the idea of tractor trailers idling at the corner - doesn't sound great either.
we see it ... we're clicking ... but no fix.

this has been an issue since i moved to new haven years ago. going through this intersection, i've almost been hit by a taxi while on my bike, a fedex truck while crossing on foot, and multiple cars that were speeding with little visibility. they were all near-fatal crashes- i do not say that lightly.
the fact that our city has done NOTHING about it is criminal at this point.
