    Alden Ave & Edgewood Ave New Haven, CT, 06515, USA - Westville
    The stoplight at Edgewood and Alden avenues is obscured by tree branches overhanging the street, making the light difficult to see until you are pretty close to it, when driving. This is a heavily used pedestrian crossing so for pedestrian safety, drivers need to have good sight lines to the traffic light.

    CT Rte 122, aka Forest Rd., floods severely and regularly in rainstorms, and the overflow from the street and Hopkins School's hill runs downhill onto private property and causes significant damage to homes and yards.

    Normal heavy rain floods the street quickly, so rains as we had from Ida last night flood it instantly and for hours, with many thousands of gallons of water swiftly flowing downhill into homes and yards.

    Since most people drive too fast on the street, and there is no advance warning of the flooded area, they zoom into the foot-deep flood zone at 40+ mph, making the powerful downhill flow more like a surge tide, complete with waves. Then the cars stall out or try to turn around in traffic. It's a dangerous mess for drivers.

    This has been a problem for at least a decade. While it is a state highway, it is New Haven taxpayers who are suffering the repeated property damage, and paying for mitigation efforts that ought instead to be addressed at the street.

    The drainage system on Forest Rd. dates to when it first became a paved road instead of a dirt road, in the early 1900s. The state DOT must, at minimum, keep the antiquated, inadequate, easily overwhelmed drain system on this road clear. Far more appropriate would be to bring it up to modern code and design.

    The city needs to work with DOT on the problem, and also to commit to fully or partially closing the road between Edgewood and Chapel in heavy rains to limit, divert, and slow traffic in order to save lives and property.

    FOURTH REQUEST. Street lamp not operational for months! Each of the previous THREE times the outage has been posted (March, May, June) the city has responded that a crew has investigated and repaired the lamp, but the lamp has not been on at night--at all--in months, so something is going wrong on the repair crew end! It's a dark stretch of high-speed road, on a curve--please fix!

    Edgewood Ave & Forest Rd New Haven, CT, 06515, USA - Westville
    Westbound (uphill) direction on Edgewood: Tree branches completely obscure the sensor that detects cars waiting for the light to change. Signal once was once very responsive, but now does not react to westbound traffic waiting (and waiting) at the light). This is dangerous because it tempts drivers to make unsafe turns or dashes across on a red light, unwise moves further complicated by the facts that there are not good sight lines and the Forest Rd. cross traffic is moving fast. Please trim the tree so that the sensor works again!

    Street Lamp Not Working. After request for repair in March, light was reported repaired today (May 20) but if so, repair was unsuccessful. It is now dark, other street lights are on, and this light is not. Dangerous road--please fix! Thank you.

  • 999 Forest Road New Haven, Connecticut - Westville
    Severe flooding at this site in nearly all rainstorms. Very dangerous road conditions. Severe damage to downhill private properties. State of CT needs to upgrade too-small 100+ year old stormwater system and in the meantime keep drain system free of debris. State and city need to close road or limit access between Edgewood and Chapel in any significant rainfall.
  • 785 Forest Rd New Haven, Connecticut - Westville
    Road Curves, speed limit etc. signs were knocked down in a car crash and have not been repaired/replaced for weeks. Given the crash damage, obviously, there's a need. This is CT-122 N so may also/instead be a CT DOT issue.
