  • Drainage Issues Acknowledged
    165 Building Brook Rd Hamden, CT - Hamden

    I'm writing to you in regards to an ongoing issue that has yet to be addressed by the town about Building Brook Road. I live at 165 Building Brook Road, on the dead end side and have been having street drainage issues since the re-paving of the street 4 years ago in September 2014.

    As you can see in the photos and videos attached, there are multiple issues that are leading to severe drainage problems. The pitch of the road, the lack of town regard for the drainage area on the opposite side of the road (cleaning of ditch, proper drainage pipes, clearing of season brush from town property), and the lack of acknowledgement of our suggestion to add a curb to the affected areas to block the immense water runoff from cascading down onto our property.

    I have previously submitted an email to the town back on February 9th, 2016 where I got a response stating:

    "Thank you for your email and I’m sorry to hear of your difficulties this morning. I will pass along your concerns/request to our Public Works Department and ask that they review the situation for possible remedies. With more snow in the forecast they may not be able to address it immediately but will get to it as quickly as they can. Thanks for your patience!"

    While the response was appreciated, no further action was taken on the town's part.

    On January 12, 2018, I submitted SeeClickFix ticket #4026079 to address the same drainage issue and suggested a small curb be placed along the road near the edge of our property to prevent the water from cascading down. It was, again, acknowledged, but no action was ever taken.

    Attached are images and video that have prompted me to write yet another email (and will be submitting another SeeClickFIx ticket). While I understand today's rainfall has been unprecedented, the amount of erosion and damage that has been caused to our property today (and since the repaving) is inexcusable. A solution needs to be determined, whether that is to re-pave the road to pitch it away from our property back into the drainage area, to re-dig the drainage ditch on a consistent basis to make it effective, or to install a curb in front of our property to prevent this from occurring again. With winter quickly approaching, this is sure to remain an issue. As proud town residents, we feel neglected and frustrated by the lack of concern or care on the town's part.

    My wife and I would like to come in next week to speak to someone about this ongoing issue. Please let us know who we need to contact to set up this meeting.

    Again, please see the Google Photo linked videos and photos below documenting today's damage, and please feel free to contact me with any questions.

    Thank you, and I look forward to a response

    Plow Damage Acknowledged
    165 Building Brook Road Hamden Connecticut - Hamden
    Plow truck came by today and tore up a good 40-50 feet of my lawn, about 1.5 feet wide. Would like the sod to be replaced

    During heavy rainfall (or snow melting) water flows down the road and down into our property causing damage, erosion, and flooding. The street was re-paved a couple years back and the issue has been occurring since then. When there is heavy snow and rain, the drainage ditch across the street is filled with snow and doesn't adequately let the water flow, causing it to overflow and run across the street right into our property. As our property is below street level, water cascades down our front hill and causes massive erosion and flooding issues. Grading the street away from the house (or even more simply adding a curb along our property) would greatly reduce the amount of water flowing down. Please look into adding a curb along the short amount of property we have along the street. Thank you
  • Potholes Archived
    358 Springside Avenue New Haven, Connecticut - West Rock
    Previous issue was closed by New Haven Public Works on Sept 9 but not one pothole/bump was repaired. Please fill potholes and fix uneven road near Common Ground High School. Cars must come to almost a complete stop to go over the bump/uneven road and swerve around potholes

    121-151 Springside Avenue New Haven, Connecticut - West Rock
    Numerous potholes and uneven road surfaces near Common Ground High School and along Springside Ave make it treacherous to drive on. Cars are constantly having to swerve into oncoming traffic to avoid the potholes and slow to a near complete stop to go over the bumps near the High School. Please fix!
