New Haven Land Trust behind Sound School Open

Sound School New Haven, CT - City Point

We love tihs trail! The only problem is the space to get on the trail from the parking lot of the sound school is very narrow (we ride xtracycle and a Madsen) and there is a yellow metal pipe protruding from the ground. There is a gate for NH water pollution? for access to a pump house. A slight reconfiguring of the entrance would make it safer to jump on this trail. I tried to follow the ECG trail an dit looks like it used to go around the baseball field, but possibly is being diverted due to the construction on the bridge. Does anyone know if the actual trail takes you down Hallock Ave and not Sea Street?

  It'd be nice if it were expanded, cleaned up (still lots of trash from Irene/Sandy), and had proper signage.

  True, thanks City of New Haven. FWIW I was just walking the site with neighbors and it seems that residents are still looking for a solution to the issues here.

Traffic Light on Blink Acknowledged

Howard Ave And Fifth New Haven, CT - City Point

The traffic light at the intersection of Howard Ave and 5th St. is on blink (sides facing 5th St. are on red, sides facing Howard Ave. are on yellow). It is very hazardous...you can't see what is coming south on Howard Ave because of the cars parked and it is also difficult to see what is coming over the Howard Ave. bridge until the last minute. It creates a horrible traffic jam when Gateway's classes get out - traffic is backed up from the intersection of Sargent and Long Wharf Dr.

  This has been a problem for decades. Perhaps one solution would be to replace the current light with a standard red light/green light which would be operational during evening rush hour & Gateway evening classes and coordinated with the light at Howard & Fifth. The remainder of the day & night it could switch back to the current blinking configuration.

  Thank you for acknowledging the problem Traffic and Parking...Chris, I was not talking about the light that is always on blink at the intersection of Fifth and Hallock. That has nothing to do with the Gateway traffic; I was referring to the STANDARD traffic light on Fifth and Howard that was blinking for a couple of days. That was what was causing the traffic issue.
