Alderman Salvator DeCola

Car painting and repairs. The smell of the paint is so extreme we have to close our windows. Car body work with electric tools, grinding and sanding. In addition to racing engines into the night and all weekend, along with loud music. This is going on 7 days a week. Please put a stop to this.

Kohary drive in westville and surrounding streets have not been plowed at all and no car can travel through them.

Last night someone knocked down a stop sign that is located at the corner of Cleveland Road and Alden Street in Westville, New Haven, CT.

Very large/tall tree is completely dead with bark around bottom gone, only dead limbs, and woodpecker damage up top. The tree is in danger of hitting our house (and several neighbors houses), cars, and anyone on the sidewalk/street. We would like this tree removed before winds push it over an cause damage/injury/death.

The tree is 60+ feet tall and over 120 inches in circumference. If it falls in almost any direction it will hit a house and decimate anything in its path. We consider this tree to be a significant danger to private/public safety and very likely to fall.

Thank you.

Street has needed paving for years. Extremely bumpy near intersection of Roger Road and mid-way between Alden and Central.

There has been a reclining chair and car tire sitting in front of 104 Woodward ave between the the sidewalk and street. These items have been there for a little over two months now.

A huge tree limb came down on the street during the strong winds earlier this week. Police closed part of the road for over five hours and waited for a crew to repair the lines, which they did that evening. But they left the cut up limb and many branches piled up on both sides of the street. It's going to pose a problem with snow coming in this weekend, as will the abandoned car near the same point. Can someone clear these away?

There was another crash over the weekend on this section of Forest Road between Chapel and Edgewood. This was the second one in the last 6 months. There needs to be a stop light placed at the intersection of Chapel and Forest to slow down the traffic before this blind bend. I see kids from Hopkins walking this stretch of Forest frequently, and I fear an accident involving one of them may happen if something isn't done.

The plow trucks are speeding while plowing the streets. This creates a tidal wave of snow that covers over sidewalks that had been previously shoveled by residents. Please address this issue immediately.

The city of New Haven called to alert that there is an emergency heroin issue on the street but did not specify what kind of issue. Are there needles on the ground? Location? Are people shooting themselves in public? What should we be looking out for?

An orange and white pickup truck has been abandoned in this corner for over two month. The police was called and they said that the truck is register. But the vehicle does not belong to anybody in the street. There are some straps under the truck. It looks like some one pulled the truck to that corner and leaved it there. Can someone check this vehicle again. All the oil was drain into the street and all the trash is getting stock under the truck.

Kohary Drive is terrible, the street is in complete despair. I have to literally drive on the opposite side of the street to avoid the huge craters that have been created here. I pay a lot in property taxes and shouldn't be playing dodge a crater just to get home. I see that the complaints go back for some time here! When will something be done???
