Cars running red lights, all times of day. Open

Dwight And North Frontage New Haven, CT - Dwight

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ny4xekiNdMQ

Traffic or not, people run this light from all directions. Same with Dwight & North Frontage, Howe & Legion Ave, etc. This is constant, whether it's rush hour or not. We need a cop here to ticket some people or this will never change.

  We are aware of these markings. These were not placed incorrectly - at the time these were painted, there were no parking meters existing on this particular street segment nor plans in place for meters to be installed here, so they were installed correctly, which is 4 ft from the curb. They need to be removed and reinstalled, 8ft from the curb. Thanks for the post.

String of Break-Ins on Dwight Street Open

Dwight And Chapel New Haven, CT - Dwight

There have been a few break-ins on Dwight Street lately, between Chapel and Edgewood. One friend had a bicycle stolen from a locked garage behind his house (lock was smashed off the door). Another woke up to find someone pushed up the bars on the window, cut open the screen and stole a bag (with wallet, cash, etc), a laptop and a tablet out of their bed while they were sleeping. I know for certain in at least one of these cases the NHPD were notified and a report was filed.

Obviously, it is important to notify the police ASAP in cases like this, but documenting it publicly and keeping neighbors informed is important too. Has anyone else heard of/experienced this in this neighborhood lately?

Lots of people loitering all afternoon, directly under a sign that reads "no loitering, police take notice." Some of the loiterers are drinking alcohol.

  "Move now" is just schilling for East Rock landlords. Taxes have increased immensely in the East Rock area and tenants are reluctant to rent there because of the high prices landlords are charging now to make up for the increase in their taxes. Check this article in the New Haven Independent:
  
  http://www.newhavenindependent.org/index.php/archives/entry/east_rock_rents_rise_with_taxes/#cmt
  
  Quote: "Frew said she’s worried. “People are going to other neighborhoods.” More and more, people who would rent in East Rock are going to neighborhoods like Dwight, where they can get a one-bedroom place for $1,000."
  
  "Move now" makes a blatantly transparent attempt to smear the Dwight neighborhood to steer prospective tenants to East Rock. It's not worth the research time to trade crime stats with this kind of prejudicial attitude.

- move around (Guest)
  
  Former Howe St. resident, twenty years ago, and the neighborhood was lousy then and it still is - probably worse (though the hookers seem to have moved to Fair Haven). Whalley Ave. seems worse to me (blame the city for lack of planning). I know people who moved out of Westville, just because they got totally bummed out by Whalley Ave. Even the area of Elm and Upper Chapel, past St. Raphe's has gone downhill. What part of bars on people's windows did you not notice when you were looking at apartments? Location of housing projects? Abundance of rundown properties? Halfway houses? Garbage on the streets? Abundance of unemployed men hanging around? The problems are bigger than the NHPD could even begin to solve. Pleas note Olivia Martson:
  
  "she served as the Alderwoman for Ward 2, a downtown neighborhood immediately west of Yale University. She understands the distinct qualities of New Haven's many neighborhoods, such as what they can offer buyers, especially out of towners [naive grad students] looking to settle in New Haven. Finding the right home in the greater New Haven area can be very challenging." And How[e].
  
  As long as New Haven shoulders the burden of providing all of the low income housing, in greater New Haven, some of these neighborhoods, e.g. Kensington Square, will never change. No one is going to invest next to the projects.

  To Move Around: Either you are running down the Park, Howe, Dwight neighborhood to attract tenants to your own neighborhood, or you are a clueless suburbanite who hasn't set foot in our neighborhood in 20 years. You don't know what you're talking about.
  If you are going to refer to particular persons by name in your comments, you need to identify yourself. It is cowardly of you to make reference to my wife in an anonymous post.

Building Infrastructure Open

part of a wall has been toppled and it seems rather inexplicable. it doesn't obstruct traffic but seems to have been some kind of accident or structural failure and now part of the wall sits on the lawn.

pedestrian signal needed Open

Corner Of Park And Chapel - Dwight

  Another near miss (crash would have resulted in immediate death of pedestrian) was observed here last week.
  
  Visibility at this intersection is horrendous, a signal and other traffic calming are needed before more people are injured here.

  This is a big problem for pedestrians. The only traffic lights are hanging high in the middle of the intersection, with no lights at the corner at an angle clearly visible to pedestrians. It's very difficult to even see the traffic light from the corner and know whether you're supposed to cross or not.

  Why is there no pedestrian signal here? It makes absolutely no sense. Every intersection on Chapel from State St. up to York St. has a crosswalk signal except this one. There are businesses on each side of Chapel at this intersection and pedestrians have to cross Chapel all of the time. The crosswalk at York Street, one block down, was just redone but this intersection does not even have a signal.

  Only everyday. even with no one at the light at Dwight and Frontage. Been like this for quite awhile. Maybe a shorter cycle for Dwight would work as I've never seen more than 2 or 3 cars coming off Dwight to 34, even at rush hour.
