  FYI - I think that the "Yale Fence Maintainance Crew" is joking given the spelling error.
  
  The fence is rusted and extremely unsightly, so should be addressed.

No Bike Paths Open

152-178 Mansfield St New Haven, CT 06511, USA - Dixwell

No dedicated bike path. Students at the school of management, forestry and those wishing to go downtown must either go significantly out of the way or ride against traffic (dangerous!).

  An accident is bound to happen. Get a bike lane before it does.

  I agree Charles.
  
  By the way, Mansfield used to be a two way "yield street" prior to the arrival of McGrath in the city administration. It was converted to one way operation, which causes severe vehicle speeding too.
  
  A group of neighbors who have lived on the street for many decades is interested in completing a "Complete Streets" request form to improve these situations. Contact newhavensafestreets (at) gmail.com if you would like to be added to the request, or help fill it out. The more neighbors the better!

  Please provide pole #'s for each light pole that is not working. You should be able to see them written vertically on each one. Also provide the nearest cross st and then notify the Engineering Dept. Street Lighting Division. They are going to ask for this information anyway.

  Anonymous poster,
  Thanks for the tip.
  
  Unfortunately there are no light pole numbers on these poles.
  They are also not owned by the City. They are owned by the management co. at Monterey Place though they are the sole source of light for the city streets.
  
  I walked around the neighborhood with a neighbor and taped fliers to every pole that was out so that they would have a reference.
  
  On the other lights I marked them all individually on SeeClickFix as well so they should be able to go by the addresses I gave.
  
  Maybe this will encourage them to not only turn the lights on but also put pole numbers on the lamps.
  
  If you could pass this issue around to neighbors to have them vote to have this fixed it would be great.
  
  Monterey Place needs to know that they are not only providing a disservice to its residents but also to all New Haveners who pass through here.

Excessive loud noise Open

371 Elm St New Haven, CT 06511, USA - Dixwell

Excessive loud noise every night from Elm Bar. Even when the police are called they do not quiet down, this was never a problem with rudys. Very rude.

Cars parked in the middle of the lane Open

1-45 Crescent St New Haven, CT 06511, USA - Dixwell

Because of the poor plow job on this corner, there is no room to park on the right side of the street. Nevertheless, several cars have been parked there for days since the snow started and it leaves little room for cars turning from Goffe onto Crescent...you nearly have to drive into the oncoming lane when making the turn.

Signage/Directions/Bike Lanes At The End Of The Farmington Canal Line Open

10-30 Canal St New Haven, CT 06511, USA - Dixwell

Hi. I live in Hamden but work in New Haven. I normally drive to work, but would prefer to bike in on the Farmington Canal.

When I last tried this in the fall on a Saturday, the Farmington Canal just sort of ends (is more construction bringing the canal forward?) somewhere near Yale University buildings with no indication of how to get from this (to me) unfamiliar part of the city to where I work (I normally go on the highway), or any information about bicycle routes in the city.

So my suggestion is that at the end of the trail (if this bridge area marks the end of the trail) some sort of signage be placed to indicate where you are and how to get to other parts of the city.

Also, is there any sort of resource listing existing on-street bike bike paths and bike-separated bike lanes in the area?

In other words, once you're in New Haven on a bike, where you can go that's bike friendly? I've heard about shoreline routes under construction, but have no idea how to get there.

Any advice is welcome.

  Andrew, Melissa's covered a lot of what I was going to type.
  
  I believe that the City is going to release a small Street Smarts booklet at some point in the near future, which has a map of bike lanes, etc. in the city.

  I know small amounts of what's going on regarding the current round of construction. The trail theoretically ends at Hillhouse Avenue, at the old Yale Health building. In practice, the trail has only ended there intermittently since 2007.
  
  The bridge at Trumbull / Prospect / Lock was in need of complete demolition and reconstruction. Construction was rather complete, and then a new project was kicked off to improve drainage in the area, as most of the area below the bridge is below street grade and would otherwise be a potential pond under heavy rains (and users know it was sometimes such before construction).
  
  And then there was this:
  
  http://newhavenindependent.org/index.php/archives/entry/stupid_sawing_error_delays_bridge_opening/
  
  This new drainage project is why the Canal Trail remains closed at this time. There was also the construction of the new Yale Health Center, but really that wasn't most of the reason for the closures.

  Hi Andrew, you know, I also find the symbols on Google maps confusing! I'm afraid I'm not much help there. Maybe email Google?

  If you look on the New Haven city web page under www.cityofnewhaven.com/cityplan/maps.asp
  you should be able to find bike routes in the city
