  The Town of Hamden has spent a great deal of taxpayers money on fixing or replacing damaged/unsafe sidewalks throughout the town. Why has this stretch of sidewalk been forgotten?

  There is a sidewalk at this location. It just needs to be repair/replaced. That is the responsibility of the homeowner.

House Falling into Disrepair Archived

21 Thompson St Hamden, CT 06518, USA - Hamden

Several houses at the top of Thompson St. are falling into disrepair, most just needing a good coat of paint and some yard work. The house at the top of the street has a fence that is falling to pieces and has boards with nails sticking out into the sidewalk. Lastly, one neighborhood is selling junk on Dixwell Ave. almost every day calling it a "moving sale", I would call this an illegal business.
Let's all work together to keep our beautiful older homes looking good and preserve our great little neighborhood!

  This is hardly the only place where this is a problem. All property owners, please take a look at the sidewalk crossing your property and be sure people can use the full width of it without encountering any obstructions. Consider people in wheelchairs and parents with strollers. It's not only weeds that can be a problem - what you think is an attractive bush can still be an obstruction.

High Speeders cause accidents/danger Archived

46 Gilbert Ave CT 06514 - Hamden

People coming from both ends speed up to about 50+mph in this area. There are no sidewalks, and lots of kids walking/biking along the road. There was an accident here just one week ago, and I am surprised it is the first! It was clear the black mustang was going very fast as he couldn't even begin to stop before hitting the woman entering her driveway! Coming out of Valley Rd is difficult and dangerous due to speeders, there are several bus stops here and lots of little kids a serious accident is only a matter of time away!

  The bushes have been cleared, but the north side of Skiff between the Parkway and Partyka Chevrolet is still dangerous. Pedestrians must walk in a very narrow area on an unstable dirt surface that slopes up from the road. Walkers risk tripping and falling into the car traffic and are forced to walk less than six inches away from fast-moving vehicles.

Blocked sidewalk: by car, shrubs and plants Archived

30 Woodbine St Hamden, CT 06517, USA - Spring Glen

The sidewalk is constantly blocked by a prius car, the shrubs are overgrown and block the sidewalk, and plants are growing across the walk as well.

Police need to issue tickets because I can't walk my elderly parents around the block we grew up on without having to go out into the street. It's a disgrace.

  As a walker and runner, the overgrown sidewalks on Whitney Ave. in Whitneyville are aggravating. In some places, because of the crumbling sidewalk, maneuvering around the growth is dangerous--it is particularly out of control between Armory St. and Deepwood Dr.

466 Putnam Ave Hamden, CT 06517, USA - Hamden

The sidewalks at the end of Putnam Avenue near Dixwell are not cleared of snow and this is forcing people to walk in the street alongside the cars, leaving little room for the cars to maneuver around them. This is pretty dangerous and there are a lot of people walking through here to the shopping center.

Hamden Police traveling at High Rates Speed on Dixwell Ave Archived

1349 Dixwell Ave Hamden, CT 06514, USA - Hamden

Just before midnight as I was walking home from my second job I watched a Hamden Police officer come flying out of the driveway of Point after trying to turn left onto dixwell, he lost control of his car and slammed into a telephone pole and ended up stopping on the opposite side of dixwell down by subway. Rendering his car undrivable. Luckily he did not hit any people walking on the sidewalk. Nightly you can see the Hamden Police flying up and down dixwell at high rates of speed, sometimes with their lights on and often times not. It is only a matter of time that something more serious happens.

  They frequently speed up Circular/Gilbert Ave...just last night at 1am 6 cruiser went by at extremely high speeds, waking up the neighborhood...no sirens just lights. 1am is one thing but this happens throughout the day/evening. This is a completely residential area with no sidewalks on Gilbert Ave. Someone's kid, sister, pet, parent is sure to die soon.

  Just because the cars do not have their lights on does not mean they are not responding to a call. I have seen the HPD travel at very high rates of speed (at night) to catch a robbery in progress. If they had blue and red lights flashing they will scare off the person they are trying to catch in the act.

  It was a flippant ,somewhat disparaging comment, but the problems still exist in many locales. Sure there are many wonderful people in Hamden, those few ( Prospect by Huntington,
  then down Goodrich, bounded by Cherry Ann St.- over to Bowen,Arch, Morse,Pine Rock to Wilburr Parkway , and arriving at Hamden Variety Store - lots and loads just are checking out their relatives and actually live in New Haven.Then the college kids add a few cents, into the piggy bank goes a few pill punks from atop Bobs..
  Another issue is the appeal of section 8 housing and the Gov't check landlords receive. You would be surprised at who owns those, always on the verge of delapidation houses.
  Lawyers,Cops, Consultants,Accountants even, that some pilfer a few bucks and buy a house on the cheap,then another one,, quick repairs are made. One hides the home in LLC or in a sisters name etc.
  One moves farther away from scene of upcoming crime, i guess they know first hand who and what they rented out to.

  I like cops, but unless things have changed recently those guys who call for the donations are not Hamden cops, but pros who buy permission to use the cops name by paying a small percentage (10 t0 15%) to the cops, or their union fund for the OK to use the cops' program for their solicitation
  
  Suggest ask for the solicitors name and badge number and check it if it is given given , (unlikely) via the police non-emergency number, not the call back number the solicitor give you.

  A fix for this issue is on the way. After many attempts at reaching someone, I received an answer by writing to the Help Desk on the town of Hamden website. The exchange is pasted below.
  ---------------------------
  Complaint Details:
  ID: 9540 Date: 12/8/2010 1:20:00 PM
  Type: Sidewalk Repairs (non-tree related)
  Comments: I am writing about the crosswalk on the corner of Athol and Whitney ave. The crosswalk in the street itself is broken up with pot holes, the curb is broken off and leaning in the street, and the sidewalk on the corner by 1596 Whitney ave is broken as well. I'm wondering if there are any plans to have these issues repaired. The concern is that many elderly folk and children frequent this path on a regular basis.
  
  I've called Hamden public works who told told me that it was the responsibility of Engineering, A call to engineering yielded only an answering machine that suggested I call someone at The Help desk (203-287-7103). Calling the Help desk led me to another answering machine. It's a bit confusing and frustrating to say the least.
  
  Is there anyway I can be put in touch with a live human to discuss the repair of these issues?
  
  I'm attaching a photo of the damage below to better illustrate my concerns.
  
  Thanks

No Sidewalks on Waite Street Archived

220 Waite St Hamden, CT 06517, USA - Spring Glen

There are no sidewalks on this stretch of Waite Street used by children, dog owners, and athletes going to Bassett Park and the dog park. Also the sidewalks along Bassett Park have no curb, which encourages baseball players to park in a CLEARLY marked no parking area, forcing pedestrians- again, many of whom are children- to walk in the middle of Waite Street.

  It's a shame you closed the issue. You made a good point. Hamden certainly lacks in sidewalks, particularly in some of the nicest places to walk or jog. Also, keep in mind, the Mayor is currently prioritizing sidewalks to repair, you might consider getting in touch with him to see if this can be given a higher priority.

the way Quinnipiac University is complicit at putting its students at risk (over a dozen of whom have died in crashes or being run over as pedestrians) is unacceptable.

  Document the "dozen" car vs ped cases and take it from there. At this point, you are lying and using emotions to expose a possible issue.

Dangerous situation Open

1148-1150 Whitney Ave Hamden, CT 06517, USA - Hamden

The tenants at 1150 Whitney Ave continue to drive their cars over the sidewalk and curb so they can park on the grass, rather than their rear parking area. They have almost caused numerous accidents (one person actually drove through and destroyed the wall) and this BLIGHT is bad for the surrounding neighborhood.

Sidewalks and Curbs Open

74-138 Cherry Ann St. New Haven, CT - Hamden

Sidewalks and curbs are desperately in need of replacement. The entire street from Elm City Academy from Dixwell down to Bowen St. was re-done. Yet, they stopped the construction at Bowen.

Damaged sidewalk makes for dangerous walking conditions Open

270 Augur St Hamden, CT 06517, USA - Hamden

A city-owned tree has uprooted the sidewalk, lifting a portion of it approximately 6-8 inches above the regular sidewalk level. Pedestrians have tripped over it and children riding their bikes have fallen due to it. The owners of the home have reported it to the city but still nothing has been done. The tree should be removed so the sidewalk can be fixed properly.

  You're absolutely right OFD. We should pay our taxes and expect nothing in return. We should also stop expecting road repairs and clean drinking water, right?

  If you want, you pay. Simple as that. The people of Hamden have said over and over they do not want to pay more taxes. The tax base we have will only go so far. If you can get the cheep people of Hamden to pay more to keep the schools open and roads fixed and the town workers positions filled than good luck to you. But dont @#$% because YOU are not getting what you want all the time. Non of us are!

  It would be best to re-report it to the town via "submit a service request" from the town's website.
  
  http://www.hamden.com/
  
  Or calling one or all of the town's offices for help (write down the names of the people you talk to, that seems to help push along any complains plus you can tell everyone exactly who talked to you and what they said. The phone numbers can be located at:
  
  http://www.hamden.com/content/7089/7093/7858/default.aspx
  
  This issue can also be reported to News8 (they got your back).
  http://www.wtnh.com/subindex/report_it
  
  Hopefully the town will fix this problem before a child breaks a bone and the family sues the town for negligence.

Snow blocking sidewalk Archived

91 School St Hamden, CT - Hamden

I observed an elderly woman walking with a cane having to walk out into the street and battle morning rush hour traffic because of a pile of snow on the borderline of Eli's Pizza and 91 School St.

This is just plain bad news. This poor woman is moving about six inches with each step and has to go into the street.

I know the snow is nearly gone now, but this pile is still blocking the walkway for this woman.

Overgrown Hedges Compromise Safety of Runners Facing Oncoming Cars Open

Hartford Turnpike And Davis Street Hamden/New Haven, CT - Hamden

The overgrown hedges before the first stretch of sidewalk compromise the safety of runners who face oncoming cars, knowing that they are not visible to drivers through the bushes and shrubs which extend into the roadway.

  Not sure why my last comment was blocked there was nothing malicious,derogatory etc.... so I'll try and state it again in simpler terms. I went by the intersection of Davis and Hartford Tpke both East and Westbound and was unable to find the overgrown hedges extending into roadway. Could the issue have been fixed and the posting be chaged to resolved?

  This would be a non issue if you ran on the other side of the street. The last poster (ANT) was not able to even find a problem. The administrator, Kayla has blocked, wiped, or censored 3/4 of the posts on this thread. Yes I have read the trems of service. I was very careful to be accurate and truthful with ever statement I have made today.

  This is one of the most dangerous intersections in Hamden or New Haven, partly due to the blind corner as mentioned above, partly because of how fast people drive on Davis. Many drivers coming over the Davis Street bridge do not anticipate the light because they do not see it coming. Finishing the sidewalk to the corner would help significantly, giving pedestrians/runners somewhere to walk/run, and also opening up the blind corner.

Sidewalk Needed Open

Cherry Hill Rd. Hamden, CT - Hamden

Cherry Hill Rd. (and much of Benham) is in serious need of a sidewalk. Pedestrian travel is extremely hazardous along either side of street. This was submitted directly to Hamden Public Works with no response.
