Quinnipiac Ave

Holiday lights on tree out after storm Please fix as they really brighten up this corner

Three quarters of the lights on the tree at the corner of Front and Grand are out for some reason

The lights on the holiday tree in the Quinnipiac River park are out or have been disconnected from their power source.

What does it take to get the holiday tree taken down. Except for a few freezing days and some rain, it’s been a mild, snow free January, but day after day no work is done, the months almost over, and we have a half dismembered tree marring the Green, a visible symbol of New Haven’s ineptitude. It would be one thing if it were in some hidden corner of the city, but it’s on the Green right in front of City Hall for God’s sake! Could someone crack a few heads together at the Park’s Department or light a fire under someone?

Neighbors have dumped an old futon frame and mattress on their front lawn. Has been there for weeks, so they obviously have no intention of doing anything with it.
