House needs major work and cleanup Open

270 Edgewood Ave New Haven, CT - Dwight

I posted this issue back in December 2012, but it was archived, despite that nothing seems to have been done. It has been reported to LCI both directly and through seeclickfix.

I'm not sure the status of this house (it was for sale, not sure who owns it now), but parts of the roof have fallen off into the neighbors yard, and there is a lot of trash dumped in the back yard.

The 3rd floor residents moved out because of plumbing problems that they said leaked down into the unoccupied second floor, and the occupied first floor.

On seeclickfix, LCI said that they were at the property in December and assigned a case number for inspection, but no progress seems to have been made. The property continues to literally fall apart.

  Bergeron,
  
  Believe what you will. It's really no bother to me. I'm doing everything I can to make the neighborhood better. Any problem I've ever had, NHS has been EXTREMELY responsive. I've seen them do nothing but good work in all my years here. I'm really not interested in your unsubstantiated allegations and innuendo, nor in continuing this dialogue. Good day.

  Hey SCFers,
  
  I want to chime in here and make sure this discussion stays relevant. Some comments in this thread have, in fact, been moderated by a SCF administrator. While there is no "silver bullet" as far as what content is deemed appropriate for the site, a general rule of best practice is to ask yourself: "Does this comment contribute positively to the resolution of this *specific* issue?"
  
  I'm happy to go into more detail about best practices for commenting and reporting if anyone has questions, and let's remember that we're all here to try to positively improve our neighborhoods. Even though we disagree on how to do that sometimes, let's be respectful whenever possible.
  
  Regards,
  BWC

  LCI spoke with the tenant on 4/8/13 at 9:30 a.m and was informed that the plumbing problem was fixed in February of this year, the few items of rubbish in back of the property will be removed, and the former owner's family member is in the process of selling the house. LCI informed the tenant that the property should be kept clean when it comes to trash, litter, and debris at all times. LCI will continue to monitor.

  Pieces of the roof continue to fall off, this time barely missing the car in the driveway next door. The piece is maybe 12-15 feet long.
  
  I'm not sure if the property has been sold, is bank owned, or is still owned by the family. In any case, they need to do some upkeep on the house QUICKLY before more pieces fall off and hurt someone.

[Yale Bikeshare] Hidden bicycles in Chapel-York Garage Open

148 York Street New Haven, Connecticut - Dwight

Something must be done to increase the visibility of the bike sharing bicycle racks at the Chapel-York Garage!

I recently signed up for the Yale bicycle program, run by Zagster. Yesterday I reserved a bicycle online, and selected one that was located at the Chapel-York Garage. When I arrived at the garage I saw no signs of the bicycles. I asked the parking attendant and he said he was absolutely certain that there were no bicycles in the garage. He directed me to the Yale Center for British Art lot across the street (where there were also no bikes to be found).

In the other bike sharing locations, the racks are placed in a clearly marked and obvious location. In order to prevent future confusion and to ensure that people actually see the bicycles and want to use them, the Chapel-York Garage signs should be put up directing people to the racks.

20 large signs for a single bodega are negatively impacting the neighborhood. The sides of the building look like huge patchwork billboards. A bunch of the signs are even hung from trees and telephone poles. I don't know what the regulations about this are, but this seems egregious.

huge hole, tripping hazard within crosswalk Archived

There is a large hole, recessed top of some cap or pipe, that is in the middle of a marked crosswalk at the corner of York and South Frontage Road (Western side of the intersection). Pedestrians rush through this intersection all day long. This is a significant tripping hazard in the middle of a very busy intersection.

No Turn on Red Acknowledged

This intersection should be an embarassment for the NHPD. There is a "No Turn on Red" sign coming off of Crown onto Howe yet NO ONE obeys it. Everyone turns right on red.

  Actually I'm not sure why this intersection should be "no right on red" since drivers on Crown turning right have a clear view of traffic coming up Howe St and can make the right on red without problems. The bigger issue seems to be drivers on Howe who run the red light they have at that intersection. I used to work in a building at that intersection and every single day I saw cars on Howe running that red light, often with police nearby doing nothing about it.

  "No right on red" signs are routinely ignored because there are far too many of them in New Haven and drivers don't understand why they are there. The city should review its policies and remove the ones that serve no purpose.

Handicapped Spaces Need Plowing Archived

Resident reports that the designated handicapped parking spot is inaccessible due to snow banks.

  I would like to put my personal opinion here. I feel that this site is very useful, but is being abused with the snow complaints. My aunt is disabled, and she made sure to have her personal shopping and errands done before the storm. Another storm is supposed to be coming.
  
  I do not want to anger a disabled person, but it is not just this comment, but a slew of random comments regarding hyper-complaining about snow. We had a storm. It was a Blizzard. The sidewalks are clear and there are much more serious problems that clearing out a personal parking space. That is just my opinion. I also have to put this out there, because there is a HUGE amount of abuse with handicapped spaces in New Haven, some are legit, others were put for people that needed them and they are no longer needed. Lets all work as a community to preserve the integrity of this site. It works and solves a lot of problems. My two cents.

Road Significantly Narrowed by Snow Archived

134 Park Street New Haven, CT - Dwight

Park Street, between Chapel and Howard, is significantly narrowed by snow. With cars parked on both sides, there is only one travel lane available, and when the UPS truck stops to make a delivery, traffic cannot move at all. In addition, the road opens up in places and then suddenly narrows again, causing sudden merges and dangerous traffic conditions.

I left plenty of time - even with the snow! - to make a relatively short drive to Union Station. But what sane person would think that they would have to stop for full lights at every intersection where there's a light. Not many cars out - lots of red lights!!!

Alderman-Dow iron and metal Archived

289 Chapel Street new haven, ct - Dwight

The sidewalk and street in front of this metal dump is always dirty and full of nails, shrapnel and metal pieces making it very dangerous when biking. I have to bike in the middle of chapel street around that area causing cars to swerve around me and cross the double yellow lines. This company should be fined for littering and should clean up Chapel street around them. Finally, there are often illegally parked trucks and pickups on the sidewalk without proper lights or safety signs causing delays in traffic and danger to pedestrians.

  Thanks "It's time to organize". These are good suggestions. However, the matter here is more basic than beauty. It's about a company that's using the street built with our taxes as an extension of their dumping ground and as a loading dock, thus endangering us in the process. They should at least clean up the street (and possibly be fined).

  The broken glass, metal, and chemicals come mostly from the junkers who break down their scrap in the street. If the New Haven Police, Zoning/ Public Health started fining these guys, the problem would resolve itself. If you pulled over in front of city hall and started hammering an industrial chiller into pieces, you'd probably be arrested. The same standard should apply here.
  
  I bike this route at least 6 days a week, and it is usually the most dangerous part of my commute. Traffic calming measures have been REMOVED from that stretch of Chapel. Where did the speed bumps go?

Automatically Include Pedestrian signals in traffic pattern Acknowledged

18-26 York St New Haven, CT - Dwight

Currently if a person who wants to cross this intersection they need to push the pedestrian button to cross the street. Most people do not realize they need to push this button. The placement of them are not conveniently located for pedestrians. Instead of pushing the button the pedestrian signals should be automatically be part of the traffic pattern for when York intersects with both North and South Frontage road. There thousands of people who cross these two streets corners everyday and this little change would improve the safety of pedestrians.

  Better still, make an automatic pedestrian signal the default, and have drivers get out of their cars and press a button if they want a green light.
  
  Just kidding, but you get the point.
  
  2012-07-11 · Flag Flagged
- KD (Guest)
  
  As an aside, can anyone explain New Haven's policy of stopping traffic in all directions and then having all pedestrian signals in all directions light up simultaneously? I understand that this could work in theory; but in practice
  1) cars turn on red anyway;
  2) the pedestrian signals (especially the new ones) are designed such that pedestrians can only see them light up when they are standing face on; i.e. they cannot see the signals diagonally across the road. So unless they are familiar with the way the lights work at that particular intersection, pedestrians who need to get to the far corner have to cross the intersection on the "L" rather than diagonally;
  3) but most intersections are timed to leave insufficient time for this, so those pedestrians then have to wait for another full cycle of lights before they can finish crossing;
  4) and in any case, the intersections themselves (such as the new one being painted at Chapel and York this week) are striped so as to discourage pedestrians from crossing diagonally.
  
  Does anyone understand the theory?

  This has always puzzled me. Why not just do what most normal cities do: Pedestrian lights get to cross with traffic and turning cars yield to pedestrians in crosswalks. Did I miss something? The result is cars backed up having to wait for these "phantom" pedestrians (when pedestrians hit the button, wait, cross as any normal person would when there's no traffic, then the rest of world in cars wait as nobody crosses). It also negatively incentivizes cars to run red lights and turn illegally on red lights because of how long intersections are here. Just a few thoughts.
