    Quality of Life Issue - The noise, music, and foul language coming from this house is out of control... the noise level could go from every day to every couple of days, never allowing us in this part of Short Beach, to get even one full week of peace and quiet for the night. We never get a brake from the noise, day in and day out.

    Now that it is summer, we in our neighborhood should not be subjected to have to keep our windows closed just to be able to watch TV, to sleep or to protect young ones ears from the vulgar language heard outside. And the embarrassment when visitors come over, they are like "you have to hear that all of the time?". In such a tiny neighborhood where our homes are on top of each other, this terrible neighbor's activities effect many. I am surprised the police have not been arresting and fining people. They have been at that house more than enough times over the years and yet the noise still continues on.

    The extreme lack of sleep due to the noise during the night is so severe now that it is enough to consider moving.

    Please someone take notice and do something about this.

  • Forest Street Branford, CT - Branford

    The town maps do not accurately reflect current streets in Granite Bay. Forest Street Extension, upper Hill Street and upper Stone Street are missing.

    This became a serious issue during the Nemo snow storm, when the missing streets were left unplowed and residents, including a 90 year old, were trapped.

    Please...fix the maps!

  • Traffic Light Archived
    Stannard Ave And Short Beach Rd Branford, CT - Branford Center
    The traffic light on Stannard Ave leading to Short Beach Rd needs to be adjusted or reviewed. It will not change if a motorcycle comes to the light, it seems like it only changes based on the weight of a car. The motorcycles/scooters/bicycles that sit and weight for the light end up running it after about 5-10 min of sitting there, unless a car pulls up behind it. It's annoying and dangerous at the same time. They'll sit out there revving their engines and then finally take the chance to turn left risking oncoming traffic and being hit or killed. Please review this light. and change the way that it indicates when the traffic on Stannard Ave can go. Perhaps on a timer rather than based on a car sitting at the light like it is now, because it's not registering light weight cycles. Please before someone is killed because they take a chance and run a light that won't change.

    How can we find and clear the storm drains during big storms like Nemo?

    Without a map, it's a little like searching for needles in hay stacks...lots of wasted energy and effort...

    Can we get a map? Can we mark them before the storm?

    What's the best approach?

    Let's try to fix this preemptively before the next big storm :-)

  • Short Beach Road Branford, CT - Branford
    What's the sense of paying for a policeman to oversee work being done on Short Beach Road when you drive by and have to get through orange cones placed to divert traffic and he's leaning on his car texting on his phone .Kind of like suicide alley hoping the guy coming at you gets how the detour works and doesn't smash into you. I guess we didn't need his help. Outrageous.

    There is excessive speeding on Short Beach Rd. People are always running the lights at the intersection of Short Beach Rd and Stannard Ave. because of the speeding my dog was killed yesterday by a speeding pizza delivery guy who also ran the red light. Our dogs leash snapped an was innocently killed, he never had a fighting chance. That man was ping do fast he never even braked or skidded, next time it could be a child or a person. Something needs to be done about this speeding before another life is claimed.

    UPDATE FEB 2013 - If you check police records from Jan. 18th or 19th not sure which day exactly there was a rollover accident from a young man speeding and driving while intoxicated, he hit the telephone pole after the bend and before the traffic light, flipped then slid several feet down the road. This issue will never be foxed if police aren't here doing anything about it, or perhaps maybe more traffic lights all the way down the road.
