  • 986-999 Forest Rd. New Haven, CT - Westville
    Storm drains on the E and W side of Forest Rd. are clogged with silt. This is a state highway (CT-122) and so probably a CT-DOT issue. The road floods badly in heavy rain; drains are due for a cleaning.

    Pieces of the large circular granite tree planter/seat at the intersection of Howe, Whalley, and Bway have broken away.

    On northbound Forest Rd./Rte. 122 there is a small depression and hole in the asphalt near the two manholes. Traffic is heavy enough that I can't get very close but I can see some air space immediately under the hole. Looks like a potential sinkhole.

    Hopkins School is performing early morning (roughly 7 a.m.) chainsawing of large trees. City noise ordinances prevent such activity until 8 a.m. at the earliest.

    Busy, heavily traveled road (still) floods severely in moderate to heavy rainstorms, resulting in dangerous traffic and driving, as well as flooding of neighboring properties. Recent work by DOT on/near the drains at the base of Hopkins' driveway have helped; road no longer floods in minor rainstorms. Still a problem, though, in moderate to heavy rain.

    Forest Rd. is again badly flooded. Dangerous traffic (wrong side of road) on a heavily traveled street as a result. DOT DID come to clear storm drains last week but it has had NO effect. Something else is wrong.

    Severe flooding in front of Hopkins School whenever there is heavy rain. This causes traffic problems: stalled out cars in the middle of the road, people driving on the wrong side of the road--and this is a very busy, curvy, dark street. It also causes damage to our driveway and ours and neighbors' garages when the water overflows the street and runs downhill alongside our house. Rte. 122/Forest is a state road; the state DOT needs to be involved. From previous complaints I've learned the drainpipe for the road is supposed to be insufficient. However, the three streetside drains at the base of Hopkins' driveway (2 on W, 1 on E of Forest)never drain well, even after cleaning, which is also contributes.
