  • 414 Whalley Ave New Haven, CT 06511 - Edgewood
    Given Whalley Ave's expansive width and high traffic volumes, and given business owners' desire to transform this space into an urban boulevard from a urban design standpoint, Whalley Avenue from the Fountain St intersection to Broadway would be the ideal location for a European/New York City-style physically separated bike lane. Ideally, this cycle track should spend most time on sidewalk level, as seen in the attached photo.
  • 890 Elm St New Haven, CT 06511, USA - Edgewood
    The white vacant house at 890 Elm St is being actively used for heavy drug use. Broken window in back provides easy access.
  • 1274-1294 Ella T Grasso Blvd New Haven, Connecticut - Edgewood
    The splashpad at Edgewood has not worked all summer. This is unacceptable considering the intense heat and humidity we have been experiencing since late July.
  • Chapel Street And Ella Grasso Boulevard New Haven, CT - Edgewood
    This intersection has significant pedestrian traffic, especially children entering the park, in warmer weather months. It currently has no pedestrian crossing signal, and is a hazardous space for people to cross, given the high volume of traffic, and narrowing of the road into one lane just prior to the intersection (coming north on the Boulevard). Now is the time to address this, before kids start taking the risk to cross to and from the park this spring and summer.

  • 79 Hubinger St New Haven, Connecticut - Edgewood
    See what WTNH news today (4-23-2015) has posted about what Bridgeport is doing about dirt bikes and ATVs running wild around their town.
    I was blocked last weekend by one of these young men from traveling down Hubinger to my house so that he could do a couple of donuts and wheelies. What a bully. These are bullies and don't care about their neighbors at all. The illegal off road vehicles use 79 Hubinger St for their base of operations. They use an app to know where the police are at anytime. The police are being out smarted here.
    Just wait until one of them is involved in a serious accident. Its not if it will happen, its when. What if one of them hits your car? Your insurance rate will go up to pay for the damage.
    They do not own the hood, we, the taxpayers do!!!
  • Ella T Grasso Blvd & Edgewood Ave New Haven, Connecticut - Edgewood
    This afternoon, a team of dirtbikes and quads were going down Edgewood Ave through the red lights, and on the wrong side of the road towards traffic.
  • 506-530 Edgewood Avenue New Haven, Connecticut - Edgewood
    This is a popular meeting spot for gangs of ATV / Motorcross Hoodlums. They are very well organized, meet here and then take off, terrorizing our streets. Last evening, around 7:30PM there were about 15 of them that took off into traffic on Ella T. Grasso Blvd. WOULD THE POLICE AND THE CITY PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE PEOPLE OVERTAKING OUR CITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????????
  • Traffic/Road Safety Acknowledged
    432 Edgewood Ave New Haven, CT 06511, USA - Edgewood

    This intersection has seen *three* crashes in just over a week: 7/28, 8/5, & just now 8/8. These are just the ones I've been home to witness the aftermath. At least one was very severe involving a motorcycle & car, & I don't know if the motorcyclist survived. In my eight years of living here, crashes at this intersection are commonplace. No hyperbole-- crashes here happen with scary frequency.

    It is clear, but I'd like the data to back up my assertion (who keeps crasj statistics?), that this traffic signal -- a blinking yellow on Edgewood and a blinking red on Edgewood-- is completely ineffective.

    The city can no longer wait. We need immediate attention & intervention at this intersection. How many more crashes & potential fatalities are necessary before action?

  • 677 Elm Street New Haven Connecticut - Edgewood

    Someone has spray-painted the N word on a house. I'm not exactly sure of the street number, but I think it was 677/678 or around there.

    This needs to be cleaned up immediately and investigated by police. Also calling the non-emergency line.

  • Chapel And Norton New Haven, CT - Edgewood
    I hope someone is investigating this blatant display of open drug dealing at this intersection. Traffic actually backs up on Friday Nights with so many "customers". I have had to drive home via a different route for fear of a deal gone bad and the ensuing violence. I know it takes time to build a case against these hoodlums, but this is out of control.
  • 203 Norton New Haven, Connecticut - Edgewood
    So what's the plan with getting rid of these idiots who are terrorizing us with their dirtbikes and ATVs? Does our new mayor, Toni Harp, have any ideas? Or are we going to continue to be subjected to their noise and their flagrant disregard for safety? Is there ever going to be a point when we can enjoy a sunny afternoon without it being interrupted by dirtbikes speeding through Edgewood Park? How many more times is my baby going to be waked up by these guys speeding down our street? It's absolutely out of control.
