Flooding on Quinnipiac Archived

679-723 Quinnipiac Avenue New Haven, CT - Fair Haven Heights

This section of Quinnipiac, between Grand and Clifton, is starting to flood pretty badly. Anyone who needs to walk/drive along this stretch, be careful! Especially as the temp starts to drop tonight.

Road closed? Flooding Archived

979 Quinnipiac Avenue New Haven, CT - Fair Haven Heights

Severe flooding on Quinnipiac right past the Amtrak overpass towards route 80. Drivers should definitely not try to drive through. I believe the road may be closed off by the city. Can anyone confirm this?

Thoroughfare needs plowing Archived

300-400 Summit Street New Haven, CT - Fair Haven Heights

300-400 block of Summit Street is still not plowed, causing vehicles to take dangerous detours. This is a major artery between Eastern Street/Route 80 and East Grand Avenue. Vehicles are needlessly going down the hill to Quinnipiac Ave, which if not already flooded at the trestle soon will be. Please re-open the 300-400 block of Summit street as soon as possible.

  We live at this address and are still waiting for a reply from the city about who is going to fix our driveway. It has caused a pot hole at the entrance of our driveway and is slowly eroding the street. We never caused the problem, but this damage was done by a city plow truck one winters day. Please fix this matter, it is causing many problems for our driveway and our property . Thank you

1061-1101 Quinnipiac Ave New Haven, CT 06513, USA - Fair Haven Heights

Severe flooding from the storm on quinnipiac right underneath the overpass. My car just barely made it through about a half hour ago and I can imagine it's only going to get much much worse. If you need to travel down quinnipiac going to or coming from route 80 try to find a way around!

Storm water flooding from school is an ongoing issue. With the storm coming the drain needs to be cleared ASAP you can see from the sediment in this photo water stands then overflows then floods the houses next door and below.

Flooding after every rain Archived

133 Hemingway St New Haven, CT 06513 - Fair Haven Heights

This street floods after almost every rainfall. It would seem that it would be easy to clean out the existing drains to allow the water to drain into Hemingway Creek. We've lived in this area for about 20 years and each year it takes longer and longer for the street to dry out after flooding. Adding "Flood" signs did not help this problem. The standing water interupts traffic and makes the pot holes get worse. Please do a REAl FIX on this problem. Thanks.

  The road is the dryest I've seen in years now (after last night's heavy rain). I guess the work that was done in the last week or so did the trick. Please keep up the routine maintainance to prevent future relapses of flooding. THANKS to all concerned.

  There's a similar problem near Orchard and Edgewood that someone seems to be fixing as well.
  
  Nice work guys for bringing these types of serious, but often neglected, issues to attention.

  Well the problem is that the issue is complex, a little more than the city can handle. I so not think that making this road any lower is going to solve the problem, rather make it worse.
  
  I will agree that it was not a good idea from a road in this location given the problems, however the city had to be aware this would happpen.
  
  The real problem is that the city so finacially strapped, that they do not have many options.
  
  I think that what needs to be done is to look at better drainage and probabaly a whole new design of the road.
  
  It would be nice to see some action on this.

  The Culvert has finally been cleaned out. Laydon Construction replace the sidewalks this week on both Hemmingway Street and Eastern Street on Monday 8/23 and Tuesday 8/24.
  
  This issue was resolved by the city. Not state DOT that has bus stop why at the lowest point, not the Governor's office and not the Feds but our local government.
  
  Now people need to stop using Hemmingway Creek as a dumping ground.

Blocked storm drains need clearing before hurricane Archived

679 723 Quinnipiac Ave New Haven, CT - Fair Haven Heights

The storm drains at the bottom of Clifton on Quinnipiac need to be cleared in advance of the Hurricane. Though the drains have been updated during constructions they were lined with something to catch construction debris, which means they are now completely clogged and flood even during a small rain. PLEASE clear them before the hurricane arrives on Sunday. I will email Alex Rhodeen about this as well.

  Yeah, that might have gotten bad. I filled 3, 55-gallon trash bags between Ferry and Grand with garbage and things that had washed into the grates. The lower portion of East Grand was blocked the most. The litter around here makes me insane!
  
  As they say, it all runs downhill. And we are the bottom of the hill, eh?

  I wrote Alex, and reps from the state and Empire Paving. Here is the response I got from Robert Barret:
  
  "Empire paving was instructed a few days ago to remove all of the silt sacks along the project since they no longer are required for the collection of dirt and debris now that the roadway is paved. This should help to alleviate the problem. Please note that some puddles will occur throughout the project until the final lift of asphalt can be installed. Also, the drain for the drainage system at Clinton is tidal, and the storm this weekend is expected during a full moon cycle, which can have an effect on the system's ability to drain the high volume of waterfall during this storm."
  
  If the silt sacks have been removed, that should address my concerns
