Description
This idea was raised in a thread on the Independent after the death of a pedestrian down the street at Olive and Green in October 2014.
One thought was to ask for subsidy from local residential developers bringing property on-line in the next couple of years.
I think its a great idea so I posted it here.
Vote it up if you walk, bike or drive here , like this idea and want to stay in the loop.

Also, at that link, the city responded about the complete streets application. there was someone in wooster square who wanted to do it but had to back out because of the time committment. i don't think anyone has done one. it seems like the city would be receptive to receiving one:

Hello, this post was just brought to our attention. I see there has already been some talk of submitting a Complete Streets Application. Does anyone know the status of the application? For your reference, below you will find our intro message for the program with the links you will need. If you have any questions about the application, please call our office at (203) 946-6417.
Original Complete Streets Message:
Please submit this issue through New Haven’s “Complete Streets” program. To do this, please visit the Engineering Department’s “Complete Streets” website. Link Below:
http://www.cityofnewhaven.com/Engineering/completestreets.asp
There you will find a “Complete Streets Manual” and “Project Request Form”. On October 23, 2008, The New Haven Board of Aldermen unanimously passed an order creating a nine member Complete Streets Steering Committee to guide the development of the following elements for the purpose of addressing the status of city streets: policy document, design manual, public process, educational campaign and traffic enforcement.
A focal point is to include feedback and ideas for street improvements from members of the community. You will also find previously submitted project requests from other community members. Please submit a “Project Request Form” for this issue through the link above. As a resident, you are not required to design anything. Instead, use the "Complete Streets Manual" as a showcase of the different types of traffic calming measures that may be used.
