  Yes, the power line has been on the ground since the fire. I raised this issue last fall and the Park Department responded that it is not live, so no electrical danger. However they have made no effort to move the cable, which remains a tripping hazard.

sidewalks on bridge across tracks Archived

73-81 Court Street New Haven, CT - Downtown

Who is responsible for shoveling the sidewalks on the bridge across the train tracks? Pedestrians had to walk in the road today because one side isn't shoveled at all, and the other was shoveled at each end of the bridge but not in the middle.

  A lot of these city-owned bridges tend to ice up very badly in the winter - the ones that I use regularly in Westville and Downtown are usually cleared of snow and salted very well.
  
  If neighbors have taken it upon themselves to clear the bridge of snow, can the city and/or town green district come in and add the salt so that it remains usable?
  
  I understand there has been an issue of limited resources over the past week but believe that clearing the city's major pedestrian routes (e.g. Chapel, Whalley, Dixwell, Grand, Blake, State) should be the top priority after emergency vehicle access. Currently many of these streets still are not usable.

CT Transit Bus Dangerous Passing and Switching Lanes Open

368 Temple St New Haven, CT 06511 - Downtown

The O2 bus coming down Temple Street -- which has been rerouted due to closure of the Trumbull Street bridge -- drives in the left hand lane, passing various vehicles, then suddenly cuts across two lanes to make a right-hand turn onto Grove Street.

This is extremely dangerous and could result in a collision between the bus and a car or cyclist traveling in the right-hand lane.

Please correct this behavior as soon as possible. Last witnessed at around 11:15AM, Thursday, September 3rd.

Longer green light on Prospect Archived

160 Grove St New Haven, CT 06511 - Downtown

Due to the Temple Street bridge closure, there has been an extreme increase on downtown-bound traffic on Prospect. Similarly, there has been a reduction in traffic going westbound on Grove. The intersection should have a longer green light for traffic headed south from Prospect onto College and a shorter green light on Grove in order to improve the flow of traffic.

  Not sure I agree with this, unless conditions at the College/Wall crosswalk are significantly improved first. With a greater traffic flow coming down College, drivers would be more likely to ignore this crosswalk, which presents a hazard and inconvenience to pedestrians.
  
  Because drivers on College between Grove and Elm must drive slowly and yield to pedestrians, extending the green light at this location could cause traffic to back up into the Grove/College intersection.
  
  2009-02-18 · Flag Flagged

  I understand your concern about the crosswalk as I have observed (on both foot and by car) that drivers regularly ignore it. It would be nice to have some sort of traffic signal that pedestrians could utilize to stop traffic for short intervals to cross. However, at least from a twice daily anecdotal perspective, the only time that cars come close to backing up into the Grove/College intersection is when the city bus fails to pull over to the curb and blocks the entire lane.
  
  Given the capaciousness of the intersection generally, and my personal experience, I would not be overly concerned about the risk of traffic backing into the intersection. A greater concern in my opinion is that the traffic going southbound on Prospect backs up into the intersection at TRUMBULL and Prospect, thus truly blocking a small and vital intersection. When traffic back-ups extend over a block, you know there is a serious traffic problem!
  
  Another possible remedy, although one that should be seriously be considered if the Temple Street bridge is going to be out for more than a year, would be to make the stretch of Grove between Prospect and Temple two-way, so that the traffic could make use of Temple south of Grove.

  the way to fix this intersection is to put a left green arrow for northbound drivers on college (turning into prospect). construction or not, this is needed for the volume and to protect peds. i am sick of getting stuck in that intersection waiting for the people driving north on grove to nail me.

Southbound left turn signal on State Street not responsive Archived

632-652 State St New Haven, CT 06511, USA - Downtown

When driving south on State Street, there is a traffic signal with a dedicated left turn lane and light. The trigger for the left turn on to Olive Street does not seem to be working. I have sat through multiple light changes at different times of fat without getting a green turn arrow. The timing on the light seems to have been changed ever since the Grand Street bridge reopened so perhaps the problem is related to that change.

  This light is terrible! Another problem at the same intersection: the green light for traffic on Olive / Grove is not triggered by bikes, so cyclists have to press the pedestrian signal - annoying and technically illegal!

Graffiti on Electrical Cabinet on Temple Street Bridge Archived

394-398 Temple St New Haven, CT - Downtown

Once again -- one of the gangs has tagged the electrical cabinet which is located on the Temple Street bridge over the Farmington Canal Trail (390-404 Temple Street) downtown. Someone has also posted political bumper stickers on two sides of the cabinet. This is a recurring problem at this location. Previously, it has taken from 10 to 14 months to get the City of New Haven to act on this issue. This is a major urban pedestrian walkway and the delay in removing the graffiti presents a very poor impression of downtown New Haven.

  The glass is reappearing on the Olive/Grove bridge too. It's all liquor bottles and therefore not a coincidence but clearly a dangerous smash-the-glass game, which is risking the health and hygiene of walkers. Better lighting is needed on both bridges so that these game players no longer feel comfortable hanging out in the dark there. There have been cries for lighting on these bridges for over a year, and here we are coming up on a time change again soon... let's get this fixed this year!

Snow plow and sidewalks Archived

William St. Olive St Bridge New Haven, CT - Downtown

The City has not plowed the streets nor maintained the sidewalks going over the Olive Street Bridge to downtown. Access to turn down William is limited, I can't get out of my driveway, because the street has not been plowed. In addition, William St. is a one way street, and because the street has not been plowed there are cars coming down in the opposite direction because they cannot get out via Lyon. Hard to believe how much I pay in taxes, both personal and business tax. It makes me want to move out of the city. The City needs to respond to this part of Wooster Square Area. William, Lyon, only part of which was plowed is a significant part of the city, a key link between Wooster and the Arts District. Perhaps the city thinks William still has the reputation from the 1970s, but it has changed. Not sure where the Alderman is in all of this??

  Thanks for reporting this. It sounds like many complaints were logged and the city needs a new approach next winter. Please open an issue again if plowing becomes an issue this winter.
  
  Also, I believe that sidewalks need to be maintained much more carefully in the winter - in fact they should be maintained at least as well as the streets, since a very large proportion of people living in New Haven do not have the option of driving and need clear sidewalks in order to get to work, access bus stops, etc. This past winter, there were hundreds of injuries due to ice falls and children were being forced to walk in the middle of the streets like Whalley Ave. That's just unacceptable.

  I saw a photo of an industrial-sized snow-blower/cutter being used in another state to chop through to cut out sidewalks, and suck the snow up through a big tube that is connected to a dump truck to catch the snow and haul it off. Where are ours?
  It's a miracle the streets aren't littered w/ the bodies of pedestrians. Seriously. It's gonna look like a Matthew Brady photo if the city doesn't cut the snow back better.

  Waterbury gets a Snow Dragon, and we get none?!
  Check this out, from MSNBC:
  Waterbury, Conn., public works director John P. Lawlor Jr. after the lot he uses for dumping filled up for the first time ever, Lawlor figured he'd never be allowed to dump in the water, so he brought in a snow-melting machine from the Ohio company Snow Dragon, and it's clearing the downtown area over the next few days. Other cities, including Minneapolis, use the company's machines.
  New York also trucks its snow to melters, which empty the water into the sewer system, then to treatment plants, where many pollutants are removed.
  Snow Dragon's most popular machine costs $230,000 and measures about 27 feet long, 8 feet wide, and more than 8 feet high, said Jennifer Binney, director of sales and marketing. It melts 30 tons of snow an hour and discharges it, debris-free, into the storm drains, she said.

  yes, yes...but I think it would be very much cooler if Yale scientists were to invent some very efficient igneous device...ala-flamethrower-but-on-steroids apparatus and the city were to issue such apparatus to the citizenry. The honorable mayor of Boson had the vison...where is ours?

Icy Grand Avenue bridge dangerous to pedestrians Archived

936 Grand Ave New Haven, CT 06511, USA - Downtown

The sidewalks on Grand Avenue between Artizan and State are covered with several inches of solid ice and have not been treated with sand or salt. Walking is nearly impossible and excessively dangerous. DPW needs to treat these surfaces ASAP.

  People should be expected to exercise routine caution in poor conditions, but that does not mean that a city like New Haven can be excused from meeting its basic obligations of at least trying to ensure safe travel in public areas.

  I agree - the city needs to maintain these corridors (as well as areas like the New Haven Green) as its #1 priority. These areas are used by thousands of pedestrians.
  
  If there isn't enough budget to keep them in an acceptable condition, then perhaps some tougher decisions need to be made about how often the 200+ miles of small streets in New Haven get plowed.

  Has this been cleared this time?
  
  The greatest safety hazard at this moment is from all of the uncleared sidewalks on major arteries like this.
  
  The city needs to prioritize and clear those first, so that children and elderly residents aren't walking in the middle of icy roadways alongside high speed traffic.
  
  Any DPW snow clearing staff should be assisting with snow clearing on major city-owned sidewalks, such as those on the Grand Avenue bridge or near the city parks. Clearing streets needs to be a secondary priority for the next 24 to 48 hours.
  
  The city (or neighborhood groups) might also consider hiring the "shovel brigades" - groups of young men who are walking around neighborhoods and clearing snow, either for a small donation or as volunteers.

  We are closing this sidewalk issue because it was a snow issue. If it happens again this winter please submit to See Click Fix or call Department of Public Works (203) 946 - 7700.
