Description
In regards to Pearl St between Orange St and the back entrance to the new Yale School of Management construction site: First, the northern 2 feet of pavement along the entire length of the road is missing (there is no sidewalk or curb and the pavement ends in dirt). This makes for flooding, and accelerated road wear. If the lawn club doesn't want a sidewalk there, at least there needs to be a curb and drainage.
Second: This road is used by NUMEROUS HEAVY TRUCKS that service Cafe Romeo, and the school buses for the New Haven Academy. I assume once the business school is completed they will take truck deliveries through that road as well. Right now, there are deep rectangular potholes on Pearl and the whole width of the road is crumbling at the intersection with Lincoln, which makes for dangerously unstable gravel in the turn. It needs to be repaired now and permanently (not when the business school is complete) with significantly more durable pavement.

That first photo looks like trucks have been driving on the grass and churning it up. Sounds like there are two fixes here:
1/ install a curb along the lawn club property
2/ clean and repave the intersection
Is that right?

In the case of the edge of the road being churned up along the Lawn Club, a curb is necessary to dissuade drivers from driving on the Lawn Club property, but also a drain.
Both the road edge and the intersection, and all of Lincoln street is being torn up by the heavy vehicles, as it is clearly just thin asphalt brushed over a residential-type road bed. What is needed is the kind of durability found on Whitney Ave to handle those heavy vehicles.
