  • Edgewood Park/Chapel Street New Haven, Connecticut - Edgewood
    On my walk thru Edgewood Park today I met Huan Ngo. He lives on the north side of the park. Since November last year he has been spending nice days removing trash along the perimeter of the park as well as the pathways within. Today, policing the steep bank along Chapel Street on the pond side, he collected several large bags garbage people had tossed over the side. During our brief encounter he suggested that the city should actively discourage littering that occurs in the park, particularly along Chapel street, by posting notices warning significant fines for individuals caught littering. I whole-heartedly agree.

    There are no speed limit signs heading west on Chapel between Ella Grasso Blvd and Central Ave, only 1 heading east (hidden behind branches). Speed limit is 25mph. Cars average closer to 40mph; many get up to 60mph or more!
