Unsafe street crossing Open

Maple St. @ Train Station Lot - Branford Center

When leaving the train station, there is no crosswalk or light to cross the street. This forces anyone walking to the train station to run through traffic.

  The station entrance is also unfriendly to bicyclists. This is actually in Branford, not East Haven BTW.

  This still isn't fixed. Pretty ridiculous that people's safety depends on a grant. I am still amazed this wasn't a priority and done when the intersection was initially redone. Maybe some of that stimpac cash for the new station and parking lot can be put towards fixing this?

  A related issue with the Branford SLE train station is that there are no stairs from the Kirkham Street bridge to the train station. How could such a simple oversight in design have occurred? Did no one expect any people ever to walk to the train? Instead of taking stairs up or down to the bridge there is a 100-foot walk one way followed by another 100-foot walk back again.

Cars parked in no parking zone Open

19 S Main St Branford, CT 06405, USA - Branford Center

There is a section of S Main that allows parking for one hour. Behind that section it is clearly marked 'No Parking,' however people are parking there in the afternoon! Pulling out of S Main onto Main or pulling out of the parking lots of building 5 and 7 is near impossible when cars are parked there... you can't see around them at oncoming traffic!

Traffic Light Open

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.

Stop sign ignored! Open

Avon Lane At Cherry Hill Road Branford, CT - Branford

For some reason, people coming out Avon Lane into Cherry Hill Road think the stop sign there doesn't apply to them. Last night a woman coming out, not stopping, almost ran over a young girl and then didn't even bother to stop and ask if she was okay and raced off! It was a real close call and I am sick of this disregard of the traffic sign there as through the years I have almost been hit by people ignoring the sign. Last night was the point I decided to report it and see if something can be done. All an officer needs to do is sit on the road further up towards Water Company and watch. They do not even bother looking right when they whiz out Avon Lane past the stopping,so there will be many tickets to be given and maybe people will finally start minding the stop sign there. Thank you very much.

Cops on overtime Open

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.

  You are absolutely right. It is frustrating. However, the officers are being paid by the contractor - although that begs the question "who pays the contractor;" the answer is, of course, you and I. This kind of overtime is a huge income supplement for regular officers.

Ever since the post-Irene power outage, the traffic light on Maple St at the train station parking lot has been off schedule: in the mornings, the light flashes yellow/red.

Bus 403 turns against left against red light Archived

1141 W Main St Branford Center, CT - Branford Center

At approximately 7:05 am on March 4, 2010 First Student Bus #403 turned left against the red light from Route 1 onto the Branford Connector to I95 south. This bus then drove at a dangerously slow speed (about 45 mph, well below the flow of traffic) on I95 towards New Haven. This is the second time recently that I have observed this dangerously slow driving by this bus on I95 south.

Barking Dogs all day and night Open

Stannard Ave Branford, CT - Branford Center

Red house on Stannard Ave 2nd on left from traffic light has dogs that bark all day everyday starting around 630a until sometimes 9=10p. These dogs get loose and roam as well. They haven't any shots, and are very aggressive. I'm afraid my dog or child will be attacked when they are running free. I have seen them chase joggers, and people riding bikes. My baby can't nap because of the noise. Numerous calls to animal control does nothing because they know them and warn them, I think it's unfair, and something needs to be done ASAP before someone is harmed.

Stop sign or traffic light needed Open

723-769 Connecticut 146 Branford, CT 06405, USA - Branford Center

The intersection of Cedar St. and Main St. needs a stop sign or traffic light. Traffic gets very backed up as people wait to turn left from Cedar to Main. I've seen many near-accidents as people try to zoom through in the brief pauses between cars.

  I agree, this is a very dangerous spot. I usually go out of my way to go around this spot, but sometimes it is just too inconvenient. I think that there should be a traffic light here.

  People who are turning left should use the left half of the lane (common sense and common courtesy). Too often people pull their cars wide to right and create and unnecessarily long line of traffic because nobody can get around them to the right. I would hate to see a traffic light by our beautiful library because of something so silly. If it is really a pressing issue, they could widen the road enough to have a left turn lane and right turn lane. This would prevent light pollution.
  Also, I totally support blinkers.

  Nothing Yet! Traffic has really become dangerous on Damascus Rd. With all the construction on Rt.1, everyone uses Damascus Rd as a way to get around the traffic. The speed is really a problem. Branford Police used to run radar regularly on Damascus but I have not seen them do this once this year.

Enormous Amount of Potholes Archived

Totoket Rd branford, ct - Branford

Rt 146 from Branford to Guildford is a very popular cycling route that the State of CT promotes as cycling friendly althought the roads from Pine Orchard CC onto Totoket Road and onto RT146 have so many potholes that cyclists have to constantly dodge the potholes and crevasses which pushes us into the road with car traffic. Part of 146 was paved last year, but not nearly enough.

  I almost took a serious fall last week on this road as the pavement is in horrible shape. This road needs immediate patching... I haven't seen any improvement since my initial request. Totoket Road is a nightmare as is many parts of route 146. Are we going to wait for someone to fall into traffic before we fix this area? For those of you who are sitting in your goverment offices, take a ride along this route on a nice Saturday morning and note all of the the families that are riding this rode with their kids..
  Also, there is a ton of sand on 146 (Limewood Ave)

  If bicyclists were truly concerned for their safety they would choose roads without so many blind spots created by hills, valleys, corners, and greenery. They also might try riding in a single-file fashion. How many of us have been stuck behind a spandex-clad, 10 speeder, in the middle of the road riding side-by-side with his friend (or closest 5 friends in a huge cluster-"fudge" in the middle of the road)? They risk their lives (and mine) by caring more about their conversation (and by extension themselves) than safety.
  Which is more dangerous; a) a small dent in the surface of the Earth or b) being hit by a car that you darted out in front of (people have been killed on this road).
  If I thought something was not safe, I would not make it a family activity.

  Is there really a road that has drivers on it who aren't impatient, who don't text or talk on their cell phones while driving with their knees, and who also don't eat and drink and smoke and a dozen other things while they are driving? Please send us this magic road and we will go there..
  I agree that there are cyclists who don't always follow the best rules of the road and put themselves and others in jeopardy, but the same could be said about automobile drivers, and more so!!!!
  We need to share the road. At the end of the day, you've got to ask yourself what is wrong with me if I can't wait a few extra seconds so that a cyclists could safely get back to the side of the road and most importantly, back to their kids and family. Imagine if your kid or spouse or loved one was out on the rode and veered off course by accident and someone like you were right behind them??
