Garbage on sidewalk/curb Archived

38 Bishop St New Haven, CT 06511, USA - Bishop-Hine

There is an ongoing garbage issue at this property. Trash bins always overflowing, trash thrown at the curb. Last night the bins were pushed to the curb, and all the extra trash that wouldn't fit in the bins was left on the ground at the curb. Naturally, it was not collected by the garbage trucks this morning. This is a six unit building that only has three garbage bins.

- rooming house? (Guest)
  
  I think this building might be being run as an illegal rooming house; see attached Craigslist ad for rooms for rent.

Dead tree branch over sidewalk Acknowledged

591 Orange St New Haven, CT - Bishop-Hine

A large dead tree branch hangs over the heavily traveled sidewalk near Nica's Market.

  As of Nov 26, 2012--the branch is still there. Even though it didn't come down during Hurricane Sandy or the Nor'easter it still seems dangerous, especially since there is so much pedestrian traffic walking under it.

No Police officer at Road Closing for Construction Archived

Humphrey And Orange New Haven, CT - SOHU

They are repaving Humphrey Street and there is an officer at Whitney- although there is no signage whatsoever only traffic cones- at the other end there is gridlock and chaos as people are attempting to turn onto the street because again- no signage, only cones and not even a construction worker in sight to keep traffic from snarling.
Must be a Fucci project because they don't have to follow the laws or municipal procedure like the smaller companies.

Cars full of junk Open

Orange St. And Bishop New Haven, CT - Bishop-Hine

There are several cars in this neighborhood that are filled to the brim with trash and junk. Not only are they an eyesore in the community, but they are likely dangerous and attracting pests. These cars never move and I wonder if they could even be towed in an emergency.

  The owner lives right in that building,the 4 or 5 story brick apartment complex.he comes out and moves them from one side of the street to the other,obeying all street sweeping edicts etc. Definitely filled with junk,the scrap yard is drooling over them for the weight,they would much prefer if the owner cleans the cars out first

Bike riding on the sidewalk Open

597 Orange St New Haven, CT 06511, USA - Bishop-Hine

a general problem throughout New Haven, but particularly bad on Orange in East Rock. sidewalks are for walking, roads are for cars and bicycles (not to mention there is a bike path on this road).

  I agree that cars are the major offenders (but, obviously, bikers aren't perfect either when it comes to traffic laws).
  
  Let's be clear: kids should be allowed to ride on sidewalks, and the law is generally not enforced for them. For everyone else, it's dangerous to ride on the sidewalk, and the fine is $93 for riding a bike on the sidewalk. If you refer to page 8 the Smart Cycling handbook (http://bit.ly/f1t8Jd), bikers are twice as likely to be injured or involved in an accident when riding on the sidewalk versus the street.
  
  I ride my bike on Willow St. all the time. While it isn't pleasant, I don't consider riding on the sidewalk an option.

  Particularly bad in the Tomlinson Bridge area, Long Wharf Drive, and Sargent Drive. It became really bad about 2-1/2 years ago, and is now a daily hazard to pedestrians.

  Thanks Public Works,
  This has been the outcome previously but when they come to clean the sump they determine that the line is actually collapsed downstream because water still backs up.
