A constituent is requesting that a City trash can be installed at the bus stop in front of 516-518 Dixwell Avenue. The constituent has complained that people waiting for the bus often leave trash at the bus stop. He stated that there used to be a City trash can but it was removed and now there is always trash in that area. He added that he made an effort to put a trash can himself, but was ticketed by the City. The bus pulls-up right at the driveway of 516-518 Dixwell Avenue, so the constituent is requesting that the City install a trash can before the driveway. Please alert us of your plans to address this. Thank you.

Most of Russell Street currently does not have any sidewalks. Residents are forced to walk on the street near vehicles passing by. This is a cause for concern as both adult and children have to share the street with vehicles. Also, the small portion of sidewalk that we do have on Russell Street needs repair.

Sidewalks are needed on all of Russell Street for pedestrian safety.

The entire street along Hemingway (between Quinnipiac Ave and Eastern Street) is in very poor shape. These conditions cause problems for vehicles driving on this road. Street paving is needed to improve road safety.
