"Dead End" sign is vandalized Archived

Clover Ln East Hartford, CT - East Hartford

The dead end sign for Clover Ln. is covered in graffiti. I'm sure it's bringing down property values in the neighborhood because it looks so terrible.

  The vandalized sign was removed and a new Dead End signed placed on top of the street sign.

Graffiti Archived

Oak Street East Hartford, CT - East Hartford

There has been a deer crossing sign covered in graffiti for over 5 years now. Its an eyesore and you can't even see the photo on the sign in an area where deer often cross to access Porter Brook. Is this fixable? The sign is located heading south on Oak Street, just before the intersection of Farnham Drive. Thank you

  Problems getting solved in East Hartford
  
  Some good things have been happening as a result of your reports on the SeeClickFix portion of the Journal Inquirer’s Web site. Three issues have been solved recently in East Hartford, where Mayor Melody A. Currey and public works personnel have taken an active approach and decided to monitor SeeClickFix for your reports. This is a good thing for everyone, as you’ll see below.
  
  “EH Citizen” reported that there has been a deer crossing sign covered in graffiti for more than five years on Oak Street near Farnham Drive.
  
  “It’s an eyesore and you can’t even see the photo on the sign in an area where deer often cross to access Porter Brook. Is this fixable?” EH Citizen wrote, adding that the town had been notified years ago but the sign had yet to be scrubbed clean or replaced.

  Speeding in residential areas is one of my pet peeves. If you can narrow it down to a time of day or even day of the week when the worst offenders are abusing your neighborhood, you might help improve the impact of police enforcement when they do get a cruiser set up there to write some tickets. In defense of police departments, a lot of them do quite a bit of enforcement but driver behavior is a tough nut to crack.
  
  Here's a recent news release from the EHPD - appears to be a focus on traffic but you can be the judge of that:
  
  http://easthartfordct.virtualtownhall.net/Public_Documents/EastHartfordCT_Police/News/traff
  
  There's contact info on that page - call them.
  
  Also, you can request some attention from Metro Traffic Services, which is an effort to pool resources from various police departments in the area to target specific traffic areas for enforcement.

No Turn on Red sign needed Acknowledged

I- 384 East Hartford, CT - East Hartford

When going to Manchester from E. Hartford on Silver Lane/Spencer Street, there is an on ramp on the right to go to I-384. There is a traffic light there. When the light is red, so one stops at it. They just go about 60 MPH right through the red light. When the light is red, it may mean that pedestrians/bicyclists are crossing. If they do not know about people not stopping at the red light, they may just proceed across. They cannot see if anyone is going through the light, as cars that are stopped there to go straight are blocking their view. Not sure if this will help, as no one obeys no turn on red signs, but it's a start.

  I almost got hit because of this light (while crossing with my bike coming from the bike trail). If this is not East Hartford or Manchester, who do I contact at the state of CT to address this issue?

  Hi Scott,
  
  I'm not sure of the jurisdiction either. First off, try reporting the issue to the town directly at its Web site... Here's a link:
  
  http://www.townofmanchester.org/manager/public/public_entry.cfm
  
  The link leads to a form for you to fill out and there is information available at various points in the form that the town has provided. It might answer some questions. Either way, filing a report there creates a record of your issue in the town's database and stuff is referred to appropriate people.
  
  Give that a try first.

  This is a wonderful place TO turn on red. Imagine the traffic that would pile up by Wendy's, Pep boys, even to Friendly's if people weren't allowed to turn on red. Hey, I'm a biker, too; but yours is a selfish request.

Need Left-Hand Turn Signal Open

273-327 State Highway 517 East Hartford, CT 06118, USA - East Hartford

It is often impossible to turn left onto Main St. north due to oncoming traffic from Brewer St. west, and with only one lane no other cars can proceed even straight. Having only one exit out of Wendy's adds to the problem since one must make two difficult left turns to take Main Street north. Several accidents have occurred when people turning left tried to beat the oncoming traffic or turned left after the light became red.

Truck Traffic on Prospect St. Acknowledged

Prospect St East Hartford, CT 06108 - East Hartford

Some of the signs enforcing the thru truck ban ordinance on Prospect St. Have been removed and the thru truck traffic has been increasing. The Police cannot enforce 24 hours a day so the signs at the end of the Gov. St exit and the large signs at the corner of Governer and Prospect St. need to go back up. The ordinance was put into affect after a child was hit by a truck. - We don;t need another tragedy. It also adversely affect s the quality of life for the Prospect St. residents due to noise and vibrations. Can we have the signs back ?

Too Short Crossing Signal Archived

Main And Silver Lane East Hartford, CT - East Hartford

For pedestrians and bicyclists crossing Main Street at Silver Lane, the time from when the icon turns white and the audible beep starts is barely 10 seconds. This is a wide street, and even on a bike you barely make it. This traffic light should be lengthened so people can cross without fearing for their lives. It's called a crosswalk for a reason, should favor the crosser.

  Thank you for adding crossing time. Many crosswalks should be adjusted to 2.5 Feet per second - current standards are typically 3 or 4 FPS, which doesn't give elderly time to cross.
