Put Mike Smart on it. it will be taken care of.

Cars definitely speed although Im not convinced speed bumps are the way to go. They are very noisy to love next to when the cars continue to speed anyways. I'd need a lot of convincing.

I actually think that just allowing parking on either side of the street might help the situation. It would make the street narrower, which would cause most traffic to slow down automatically.

Anyone interested in this continuing problem should check out Issue ID 10078 "Speeding on St John Street." It deals with the identical situation on the opposite side of Grand Avenue. This issue was opened in 2009, generated comments until December, 2013 when it was closed with no action taken.

Parking on both sides of St. John Street does not prevent cars from speeding through as a shortcut and to beat the light. Speed bumps seem to have calmed traffic on Edwards, between Whitney and Orange. In that thread, there are suggestions that the Alderperson become involved. Good idea.

I don't find speeding cars to be that much of a problem on Lyon, and I've lived on the street for a few years. What light are they trying to beat? The one at Jefferson and Grand is terrible. Anyway, between the occasional speeding cars and the constant noise from speed bumps, I think I'd prefer to not have speed bumps.

I agree with Pedro. Kill two birds with one stone. The parking situation is getting worse and worse with all these students moving in (ughhh), and people who for some reason won't park in their own driveway (why???), we need more spots. This would obviously also slow down cars, and perhaps also help deter idiots who drive down the street the wrong way.

I love the idea of allowing parking on both sides of the street. In addition to making drivers slow down, it would offer some additional buffering for pedestrians on the sidewalk. (I have never lived on a street with bumps myself, so had no idea they were so noisy.)

Speed bumps do not work unless they are huge and even then the people living near them hate life, cops writing tickets for speeding does if you have ever lived in a town that takes radar and enforces the law on a regular basis.

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:

http://www.cityofnewhaven.com/Engineering/completestreets.asp

There you will find a “Complete Streets Manual” and “Project Request Form”. On October 23, 2008, The New Haven Board of Aldermen unanimously passed an order creating a nine member Complete Streets Steering Committee to guide the development of the following elements for the purpose of addressing the status of city streets: policy document, design manual, public process, educational campaign and traffic enforcement.

A focal point 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. Please submit a “Project Request Form” for this issue through the link above. As a resident, you are not required to design anything. Instead, use the "Complete Streets Manual" as a showcase of the different types of traffic calming measures that may be used.

I also just reported one of our biggest offenders, The FedEx truck. More complaints from neighbors will help to get the message through.

I agree with SaraJ, the FedEx truck is one of the worst.

If anyone else wants to file a complaint, they want - if you can get it - a truck number and whether it is Express or Ground. I didn't notice today. But the plate number for today's offender is: K 95083

We are trying to delineate issues that are current and need the city's attention to resolve and as a result a number of historical issues are being closed. If your issue remains and needs to be addressed by the city, please open as a new See Click Fix issue with updated information and details. Thank you.
