Description
York Street used to be one of the best paved streets in town. Recently work was done on the street in front of the Noodle House. The repaving work - if you want to call it that - looks like something done by kindergartners with play dough. Its horrible. If the city wants to keep our streets nice, I'd recommend that it hold road work repairs to much higher standards.

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.
