resident,
i think you missed the point of the post, which is that there is an ongoing problem with the quality of work done by utility companies/independent contractors.

many streets are torn up and shoddily patched, and it is especially frustrating when it happens on a freshly paved street.

whomever posted this is wondering about the oversight on these projects and who is held accountable if the work is less that satisfactory, as am i.

I agree 100% with Juli, and thank you for posting the comment. This section of the road is already torn up. With all of New Haven's city oversight on building use and permits, its it true that no one in the city has to see or approve of street work? How will our roads ever get better if private industry is allowed to repair them with sub-par workmanship?

Of note - this "repair" job is already falling apart. Now there are pot holes. Will the city or the private company be fixing those? If its the city - what a waste of tax payer dollars!

Let us remember that the fastest and cheapest way to do something is RIGHT THE FIRST TIME.

Has this been addressed? I noticed work had been going on here until last week.

In order to help us clarify what city issues need to be addressed, we are closing this older one. If your issue still persists please resubmit to See Click Fix. Thanks.

Definitely not fixed. And now it is worse.

There has been work in the area but we will check. Thanks

DPW, I'm not sure I understand your response. The area in question is in front of York Street Noodle House, 166 York Street. The street repair work in question was done at least a year and a half ago right after this street got repaved. It is completely shot now: very bumpy and full of potholes and heaved asphalt. This covers an approximately 10 foot stretch of the left hand travel lane. There was a more recent repair done down the block towards Crown street which was also poorly done. Both repairs are extremely uneven and full of potholes, craters and valleys of asphalt. - On a side note (and I know this isn't related to this direct issue) Whalley to Elm street just got repaved in the Broadway district about a month ago. Not even one week later, it had been dug up and there is a metal plate on the road surface at the intersection of Howe. Really? There couldn't have been a tiny bit more foresight? My guess is that wasn't an emergency repair job. Especially since the plate is still there.

Thanks for your feedback. I was just acknowledging your "reopened" issue so it can be reviewed through our internal process.

Number of utility cuts in status or as temporary repair. We will continue to monitor "permanent repairs' and level restoration of street to city standards when completed. We will leave issue acknowledged until the work is completed.

We are closing this request due to its historic nature. If this concern still requires attention and you still believe SeeClickFix is a viable tool for its resolution the best way for it to be addressed is for you to create a new request including a current description of what is occurring and what solution you hope to see regarding this matter, citing/linking this request in the details. Thank you for your dedication to improving the quality of life in our community.
