  It is getting pretty over the top Rob. I suspect there are some inexpensive video options and it's a creative idea on how to address the problem. If anyone knows of any technology, please post here.

  The sofas are gone. Thanks DPW [?]; however, there is another sofa and a bag of household trash "hidden", behind a large log, near the park entrance, on the Hamden side, of the park.

  Sofas are gone, as is the other sofa (at the other park entrance...).

  To be honest the amount of technology and detective work would be more than the City is willing to do, and I don't know how much attention you'll get from NHPD even if you provide them with everything they needed to press charges. It makes more sense for the City to simply pick up bulk trash on a periodic, scheduled basis and NOT charge residents for the pickup. Other municipalities do this (and with lower property taxes, to boot!) and it solves so many problems. Considering how high property taxes are in New Haven, it's the least they could do.

Orange and Bradley crosswalk sign missing Acknowledged

Eld Street New Haven, CT - SOHU

The crosswalk sign that is usually in the crosswalk at Orange and Bradley is no longer there. This is an extremely busy place to cross the street (especially since there is no light) and the sign is much needed.

  When can this crosswalk sign be put back? It's been almost a month since it has gone missing.

Roaring Motorbikes on Pedestrian Only English Drive Open

English Drive New Haven, CT - Cedar Hill

Although it's quiet given there's snow on the road, when the weather is good and the road is clear, motorbikes continue to present an extraordinary danger to pedestrians and their children and cyclists by screaming up and down the closed road from English Drive to the summit of East Rock. Police are rarely visible at the park and a sense of lawlessness pervades the area, which is generally filthy. A firm presence is required at the pedestrian entrances on English drive and on Trowbridge, off of State Street.

  There are also illegal ATVs using the area.
  
  Agree that something should be done, but "it didn't happen unless you can measure it." To that end, unfortunately there's no information on the number of tickets given out in this neighborhood for these types of infractions, despite repeated requests by citizens for regular releases of this type of specific information.
  
  The Crime Log has the total number of MV tickets but no information on whether they are given out for motorcycles, stop sign running, unregistered license plates, or DUIs.

  Mark, dont we all know that they dont get tickets? these guys ride New Haven with impunity these days, if a cop tries to pull them over and they dont stop for the police they get to ride away into the sunset laughing all the way. This no chase policy we have allows criminals the freedom to break the law wherever and whenever they want to. Imagine the example this sets for the youngsters watching this happen.
  
  I want to know if the police have followed up on any of the videos(evidence) these guys post of themselves doing wheelies down the interstates and local roads. They dont even disguise themselves, it cant be too hard to find them can it?

  Let me add this no chase policy allows drug dealers an easy way to transport drugs and guns without fear of the police.

  Lexington, I agree.
  
  But perhaps issuing tickets for the things that the City can issue tickets for (such as noise and red light running, the latter of which has resulted in many injuries and deaths), would have an indirect impact.

Pedestrian & Traffic signal needed Open

517-571 Whitney Ave New Haven, CT - East Rock

There have been many small accidents & issues at this busy intersection since there is only a yield light, not a traffic light. Impossible to make a left onto Whitney during rush hour.
Even more dangerous for pedestrians trying to cross - cars coming from every direction with no end.

  Thanks for reporting this. The issue has been raised a number of times and there are a number of concerns. First, traffic lights are incredibly expensive, upwards of $250,000, to install. Second, if a traffic light is installed here it is likely that Cold Spring will become a busier street. Perhaps most importantly, traffic calming experts are more and more considering traffic lights not to be the solution to safer streets and they prefer different infrastructure improvements - rotaries, pedestrian islands, bump-outs, etc. Whitney Avenue needs a total makeover - not just at this intersection, but at many.
  
  Ultimately I think this intersection needs improvements to make it safer for pedestrians and cyclists, but a traffic light isn't the answer. We're currently working on other traffic calming on Cold Spring near Everit and Livingston. Whitney Avenue is on the list of places I would like to tackle and you are very right, it's in desperate need.

  this really has to be fixed. it took me five minutes to cross the road from the bus stop, and even then i had to cross one direction at a time and stand in the middle of the road.

The wires were sloppily installed on this pole Open

884 State Street New Haven, CT 06511, USA - SOHU

They are starting to fray. Is this a temporary fix UI?

It looks bad and a kid could hurt themselves.
