Will the Police enforce noise restrictions? This area has many businesses, but is also residential. The motorcycle noise is very disturbing!

Re-Open State St. Bridge Open

1055-1079 State St New Haven, CT - East Rock

The State St. Bridge, over the Mill River, is now going on two years past its completion date. The city engineering department claimed that they would start working on a plan, in December 2011, to solve the water pollution issue, which has delayed the bridge reconstruction. Any progress on that plan?
Because State St. is closed, and Trumbull St. is now only one way, heading West, Willow St. has become a traffic nightmare and a public safety issue.
On Tuesday evening, because of the city's poor planning, the usual evening traffic jam, on Willow St. caused a major public safety issue, when two New Haven police cars, heading West (on Willow), and two New Haven Fire trucks, heading East (also on Willow), were stuck for at least five minutes, while car commuters totally blocked both lanes, preventing anyone from moving. Willow St. cannot handle thousands of cars per day. The noise pollution, air pollution, speeding, traffic jams and blocking emergency vehicles needs to stop.
The city needs to get its @ss in gear and fix the State St. Bridge.

  The tide surge, from TS Sandy, was flowing over the banks of the Mill RIver, yesterday morning. I didn't see anyone from the construction company around, as I was able to walk all around the site unmolested, except for the guy who stopped to ask me if I saw a "dead body" anywhere in the vicinity [no dead bodies did I see - man I love New Haven].
  
  At approximately 12:30, The water was about an inch below the temporary pedestrian bridge, and flowing into the containment area, from which the polluted ground water is allegedly being pumped. Good luck with that!
  The city must use the Mayan Long Count calendar to figure construction schedules...
  
  What do you want to bet that everyone shows up early, for the photo op, when this minor bridge is re-opened?

Street Racing on Dirt Bikes Open

155 Cedar Hill Ave New Haven, CT 06511, USA - Cedar Hill

Incessant noise, unsafe riding, and street racing on dirt bikes Cedar Hill Avenue.

- Jane (Guest)
  
  The New Haven Coalition to STOP ILLEGAL TRAFFIC (SIT) on our streets had its second meeting on Sept. 18. Alderman Justin Elicker reported that since our meeting last month, the city has started a concerted effort to address the issue of dangerous and illegal use of dirt bikes, all terrain vehicles, and other illegal motorized vehicles on our streets. Currently, police do not have the authority to seize and hold illegally operated motorized bikes and ATVs. Therefore, violators can reclaim impounded vehicles shortly after being caught by paying a small fine to the towing company.
  On September 18, 2012, SIT members decided that the quickest way to make our streets safer is to rally the community in support empowering the city to take more aggressive actions against illegally operated dirt bikes and ATVs.
  
  What the city is doing:
  1. The Corporation Counsel (the lawyer for the city) has been directed to explore the legality of the city taking possession of non-registered dirt bikes, atvs, etc. that have been operated illegally and destroying them. Other enforcement ordinances are also being explored.
  2. The City is in conversation with state legislators about state-level action.
  
  What Coalition members and supporters are being asked to do:
  a. Call the Office of the Mayor (203)946-8200 and tell the Mayor that you are concerned about this issue and that you want results by next summer 2013.
  or
  b. Write to the Mayor at MayorDestefano@newhavenct.net. You may want to include the following points:
  “I am a concerned citizen who is frustrated by the increase in use of illegally operated dirt bikes and ATVs on New Haven streets, inside New Haven Parks, and near playgrounds and other recreation areas. It is my understanding that the NHPD has a long standing no-chase policy, which I agree with given the chances that a chase could result in injury of an innocent bystander. However, more needs to be done. I support the city’s effort to create policies that will eliminate the reckless behavior before someone else is killed. We’ve had many close calls already in 2012; a little girl was hit by a dirt biker while waiting at a bus stop with her dad, and a dirt biker himself suffered life-threatening injuries after losing control of an unregistered illegally operated dirt bike. Please, do what is necessary. You have my support!"

  Tired of this issue? Then show your support this Tuesday 11/13 @ 6 p.m., all should attend, no excuses! If not you, and us, then who? Tell everyone you know and bring them along if needed--lets pack the room, this may be our only chance for this type of City-wide meeting. Please distribute widely.
  
  via Alderman Justin Elicker:
  "There will be a public hearing on the dirt bike ATV issue Tuesday, 11/13 at 6pm in Board of Aldermen Chambers at City Hall. It's an opportunity for people to express their concerns about the dirt bike issue and for the City to talk about what we plan on doing. Could you all help get the word out?"

Illegal Activity Archived

Corner Of Edwards And Nash New Haven, CT - Bishop-Hine

There is a parking lot behind Firehouse 19 Trauma Center (corner of Nash and Edwards - parking lot is on Nash). Last night some guy was parked there, got out and urinated, then got back in his car and proceeded to role what appeared to be marijuana joints for about 15 minutes (the urinator was in the passenger seat, there was someone else in the driver's seat. They were rolling with the car's map light on, so it was pretty easy to see). We called the police to come over; they came, but too late (I only saw them drive by, pretty quickly, about 45 minutes after we called). The car was still there but the guys were no longer in it. This parking lot has been a haven lately for loitering, noise, drug activity and what appears to be prostitution activity. There needs to be major surveillance and police presence around here. We need to feel safe in our homes and community.

  The situation has greatly improved since I reported this. There has occasionally been loitering and noise but nothing like what was going on. Because this parking lot is dark and tucked-away, it will likely always be subject to people behaving badly. I think the police should continue to keep an eye on it. That is great news about officers walking the streets now. Thanks!!!!

  Similar incidents have also taken place behind the Clifford Bayers clinic for years. High taxes paid by East Rock residents are being used for services elsewhere in New Haven. They city has NHPD officers in neighborhoods trying to keep the number of homicides down, with gang and drug dealers better protected than people that have invested years in the East Rock community. As an ex East Rock home owner (almost 30 years). I miss the neighborhood, markets and being in New Haven, but Im glad I got out when I did.

Beginning at about 7am, someone has been using a very loud leaf blower in the parking lot of 375 Whitney for a duration of about 45 minutes. The noise is disruptive to neighbors.

  Just as a side note, the New Haven Noise Ordinance limits construction, demolition work, blasting and the use of domestic power equipment to the hours of 7am until 10pm Monday through Saturday and from 9am until 9pm on Sundays. Unless this is happening on a Sunday, they're within the law to operate a blower at that time. However I've found that simply walking over and discussing the issue with the operator often works in getting them to do the work a little later in the morning.

  Janet, zip it. Nobody cares who you are or how tough you are. Most people quit the tough guy bs after high school. I live in NYC and there is very little motorcycle noise, even when I lived a block from the Hells Angels. New Haven is a little out of control. Period. It is a quality of life issue for most people. I think it comes down to maturity of the populous, police enforcement and downright respect for ones neighbor, all of which New Haven could improve upon.

Speed humps need paint Archived

Canner St New Haven, CT - East Rock

The newly installed speed humps on Canner St. are difficult to see, even with the signs posted. The humps need to be painted so they are more visible to the vehicles turning onto the street. People speed over the first one causing loud "kerchunk" noises several times every hour. I appreciate that they are slowing down traffic on the busy street significantly, but I worry about the damage to cars that don't expect them.

  All urban and suburban highways in the Netherlands are lined with beautiful, frosted glass walls with no breaks. They are not only extremely effective, they actually look beautiful.
  
  It's about time the DOT recognize the major negative impact its facilities have on our cities and towns, and adopts more progressive policies.

  Joan,
  
  there have been a lot of questions lately in this area regarding trash haulers. Per the city noise ordinance on trash hauling, trash hauling may begin as early as 5am on Trumbull by private trash haulers (if this occurs on Trumbull).
  
  http://dwscmt.googlegroups.com/web/NHV+Waste+Commercial+Code.pdf?gda=4nT9Mk8AAABHT9MWW6bo8ka4w2BbrUF7cuwtw2tTM0SDyjpiiUlnXfZLnAgmnztcf1gsniep2bEuU90BrZrjW4w3QSJM4k8LnHMhSp_qzSgvndaTPyHVdA
  
  I have linked to a PDF of the trash ordinance that i posted on the downtown-wooster square community management team google group. additionally, there appears to be no regulation on city trucks, but as you say it is a trashmaster truck.
  
  unfortunately, garbage collection is noisy. thankfully it's not happening at 4:10am (see around the corner for an issue on Whitney ave). i would suggest a sleep sound machine to produce white noise and to block out unwanted city noise. i find this is a great way to alleviate the annoyance of city noise, while getting the benefits of living in a dense, urban environment. also, i would suggest to purchase one that is portable so that you can regulate your sleep while traveling as well.
  
  as for noise ordinances in general, there is a noise ordinance on the books for New Haven. At night in the commercial zone of downtown, the maximum is 45 dBA (night ends at 7am).

  THe NHPD is allowed to make inspctions of mobile noise sources including refuse collection (18-81). So i would suggest discussing this with the police. i will add the lt. to the watch area.

Noise trash/recycling trucks & bottles at CM's Archived

13 Clark Street New Haven, CT - SOHU

Don't get me wrong - I LOVE my neighborhood establishments, but really, the noise is intolerable. CM's (I'm guessing, though it may be Modern) hauls garbage bags full of beer bottles to the recycling bins behind its restaurant at 10PM, then midnight, then 2AM. Each time, the noise reverberates in the open backyard of our housing complex and wakes me up. It doesn't help that at 5:10AM Rainbow Recycling and other private vendors that handle the recycling and trash for these restaurants spend anywhere from 10-20 minutes doing their pick-up. I've drowned the noise out all summer with my AC, but now that the weather's getting cooler, I'd love to be able to sleep with the windows open... without my sleep being disrupted every 2-3 hours.

Noise/fighting at 17 Nash Street Open

The police are here again. 3 Africans from IRIS gathered on the porch , shouting. This is not a matter of people who need a little help. these people have failed to adjust; they have been here many months.

  @SB, I never said every IRIS client is causing problems. If I do not have to call the police or to complain about garbage or blight caused by an individual, then they are not the problem or the persons I am addressing. However, "a couple of bad examples" are all that is needed to bring down the ENTIRE neighborhood.

  You said that the IRIS experiment isn't working in East Rock, which sounds like knocking the entire program to me. And if a couple of bad examples could bring down the ENTIRE neighborhood, the neighborhood would have been down long before IRIS came and moved in refugee families. There are more than a couple of home grown bad examples in ER. Just see other posts here at SeeClickFix--including the house on lower Lawrence St, which has been a problem for years.

  @SB again. I believe my post was to the topic "Noise/fighting at 17 Nash Street", although I would gladly talk about trying to clean up disturbances at the house on lower Lawrence St. as well. If IRIS set the people up at 17 Nash Street, then let them take responsibility and fix the problems it has caused for the neighbors. Preferably, something other than moving them to the opposite end of the block.
  I am not against the goal of IRIS. I believe I said earlier "It is a noble effort to give anyone a fresh start".
  
  However, If you feel that the problems discussed in this topic as well as the topics:
  
  "Noisy Neighbors at it Again"
  
  "Once again there were problems at 17 Nash Street"
  
  and
  
  "Contaminating Soil"
  
  are not damaging to the neighborhood and a direct result of IRIS clients, we will have to respectfully agree to disagree; otherwise we will be typing all night.

  @Click Fix, please keep this matter open, Although the 11 of the inhabitants of the aprox. 900 SF first floor of 17 Nash Street have been moved into a hotel, the other 4 or 5 (or 6,7,8??) have gone across the street to # 28 Nash, another house owned by the same person who owns #17.
  
  There are a number of issues here, including some that involve the way a certain agency is relating to ER and the way it (mis)represents its values and its standards, not to mention its actual practices..
  Some of the most inspiring people who once lived on Nash are now IRIS grads. A number of the beyond unsavory ones are also IRIS grads. Please keep your hearts and minds and your donations open to good refugees and give them the opportunities you would want if you had to flee our country. But after talking to the agency rep and seeing more than I will tell here, yes, there is every reason to be careful before you fully and unconditionally open your door or your pockets .

Noise Violations at State/Clark - Bottles, Trash, & Recycling Open

13 Clark Street New Haven, CT - SOHU

Don't get me wrong - I love my neighborhood establishments. That's one of the reasons I moved to this location. But, I hadn't anticipated the noise that would follow - not rowdy patrons, but rather garbage bags full of bottles scraping along the pavement at 10PM, midnight, and 2AM (CM's). Trash and recycling pick-ups often occur before 6AM. This week, in fact, two such pick-ups occurred before 5:30AM. One culprit is Rainbow Recycling. I've seen their colorful truck in the Modern parking lot. It would be deeply appreciated if the restaurants/ vendors could adhere to city noise ordinances and respect residents' right to a good night's sleep.

trees cut down~sound barrier? Acknowledged

815 State Street New Haven, CT - SOHU

The trees along the I-91 corridor and State Street were cut down by the DOT. Are they putting up a much needed SOUND BARRIER? If not, the trees are the only thing blocking the view of traffic and increasing traffic/truck noise and need to be replaced. Quality of life will be impaired...SOUND BARRIER for UPPER STATE STREET!!!

  Is there any movement afoot to appropriate state funds towards the DOT's Statewide Retrofit Noise Barrier Program?
  
  I wonder if someone here would have the time to do a straw poll of our delegation in Hartford and see if 1) they support this and 2) if they are willing to push for it next year. I

  Hey Mark,
  Given the state of the economy I'm not sure it makes sense to push forward with this but I'd be interested to hear what others have to say.

  Hi Ben, I'm interested to find out if anyone has the time or energy to do such a poll.
  
  According to Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman, a down economy is precisely the time when policy makers need to allocate funding to a program like the DOT's:
  
  1) An infrastructure program like this creates jobs, which sends some money back into the bank accounts of families and thereby is the only way to ensure that the recession doesn't get worse, creating even more job loss.
  
  2) A program like this helps to ensure that our state returns to a sustainable development pattern (which is dependent on having livable urban centers) instead of a sprawl capital. That is the only way that this country can grow.
  
  These lessons have been proven time and time again within economies throughout the world. Unfortunately, most of our policymakers are hesitant to adopt some of these principles, perhaps because they are heavily influenced by lobbying from multi-millionaires in Fairfield County.

Idling trucks Open

67 Whitney Avenue New Haven, CT 06510 - Yale University Campus

All day, every day, there are trucks pulling up in front of Hong Kong Market, Dunkin Donuts, Great Wall, and Clark's to deliver goods. At least half of the time, the trucks are left to idle while deliveries are bring made. This creates a thick haze of fumes and non-stop noise. There is a 3-minute idling law in CT, but it is not enforced downtown.
