My Beaver Hills

This is a public park. Can someone from the parks dept please tell me why this gate is frequently locked.

Am I the only one who is suffering property damage at the hands of the orthodox Lubavitch children on Ellsworth Avenue? They stomp down my little fence, they stomp on my garden, with deliberate menace. They jet down our sidewalks on their scooters and bikes, and they expect you to get out or their way. I have tried to have a conversation about this with the parents, but they deny everything, even when it happens if front of their eyes. No one apologizes. They blame it on Black children. I have been fighting this for two years now. I see other people have put up fences around the front of their property lately. Are they just targeting me because I complained, or is there more? I am about to go to the police with video documenting their actions. But I would like to have corroborating evidence, if possible. I'm not targeting a religion or an ethnicity, and I don't solicit comments from racist activists. These are the children and parents of one congregation. These parents need to discipline their children and teach them respect for other people's property and neighborhood.

Yesterday, 6/16/13, at approximately 950am, while driving on Blake Street, I encountered a child, no more than 6 years old, riding a mini "toy" dirtbike, all over Blake - in the middle of the road, as well as on the sidewalks. No guardian could be located. Now let's be clear, when I say "toy," I do not mean some plastic play bike that a child might be required to pedal or Flintstone. I mean a miniature motorized dirtbike - simply a smaller version of the dirtbikes we frequently see on New Haven's streets and roads.

Again - this was a YOUNG CHILD, not a teen! Unsupervised, but even if the child had been supervised, what kind of guardian/parent allows their kid to ride something tiny like this in the middle of the road??? The safety issues are harrowing for drivers, as well as for this poor child, who just thinks he's "playing," and who has no doubt seen all of the dirtbikers "having fun" riding. This is how dirtbikers and ATV'ers are influencing our very young children.

Does anyone living on Blake or surrounding streets know this child and their parent?

ATV'er has been riding on sidewalks and up and down driveways all afternoon.

Seemingly every warm, or clear day this neighbor is either throwing a party or just playing loud music. The music is so loud that I might as well have the speaker in my yard. In general, they don't do it late at night, but there are some days when I want some reasonably quiet time to work in the yard and enjoy the day.... I wouldn't care if it was once a month, but this is constant, not to mention they either play 95.7 or something that sounds like it's straight out of a bad 80s @#$%. Why must your music be so loud?

Picture tells it all. You can see each storm layer like tree rings.

The light turning onto Whalley from Fitch only stays green for a 2-second count when it cycles following a walk signal.

Resident reports that sidewalk is damaged. Please inspect.

140 Bellevue is an abandoned property. The lawn is way overgrown and needs to be taken care of. Who is responsible now for this property?

Resident would like snow removed from Goffe Terrace between Ella Grasso Boulevard and Ellsworth, very dangerous on incline one side of street has pile of snow making it difficult to drive

The entire intersection is falling apart and needs to be repaved. It has been in bad shape for a few years, winter destroyed it, the City did a crummy job of filling the worst of the holes in early spring and now it is falling apart again.

Apparent drug deals occur with regularity on Osborn Avenue in the vicinities of Blake Street and Goffe Terrace.
