Southend of Clinton\Strong School Play Ground
My watch area is the south end of Clinton Avenue , the sidewalks and streets in front of my house and the school yard of the Strong School.
The principal of the school, Mr. Huff is a good & responsible neighbor however the school system refuses to takes responsibility for inappropriete use of their playground at night. Specifically, the NHPS refuse to installing a light so we can see who is in the park at night.

19 Clinton Ave New Haven, CT 06513 - Chatham Square
Now that the New Haven Public School System is not using Strong School (corner of Grand and Clinton) Avenues, as swing space there is no one monitoring the use and abuse of the park and parking lot behind the school. Most users are children under parental supervision but there is an increasing number of users without children hanging out at the park, drinking, destroying the rubberized ground cover around the playscape by pulling it out and throwing it out on the street (and on to my property). Neighbors have reported drug use and prostitution.
The neighborhood needs an expeditious determination as to what the NHPS system is planning to do with this property. We need to be told the plan and the time table.
In the meanwhile it would help if there were standing orders to have police driving by ask anyone on the property, not accompanying children under 12 to please move.

Playground Maintenance Archived19 Clinton Avenue New Haven, Connecticut - Chatham SquareDecided to play catch with my family and some local kids and to say the least the state of the Strong School playground is unacceptable. Broken glass everywhere, garbage and other foreign objects children shouldn't have to be exposed to (if you catch my drift). Clean it up, the kids need a place to go.

Dead tree in the sidewalk tree belt Archived29 Clinton Avenue New Haven, CT - Chatham SquareThere is a dead tree in front of my house and another tree that emits some sort of oil that makes my brick walk way slippery. Would appreciate a call from someone at city hall to arrange for the removal of the dead tree so we can plant a new one and a consult on what to do about the slippery walk way caused by the residue from the tree.
