Why has this problem not been acknowledged by the City of New Haven?

FOURTH OR FIFTH REQUEST.I've lost count. Lamp still not replaced. What is the problem? There was a utility truck on Chapel St at the Hopkins end two weeks ago replacing lamps. DO I have to be a Hopkins Alum to get a simple lamp replaced?

Sure. Keep it open. Lets try for 1 year of no response.

I spoke with my alderperson a week ago about this problem. The street light has not been replaced. Its curious. Planters for traffic control were installed on Chapel St two blocks from my house. Houses are more expensive there. Those of us in more modest homes on Chapel St cannot get a simple light bulb changed after one year of requests. Also - we cannot get speeding abatement measures on the street in our block and corrective engineering at the Chapel-Yale Ave intersection after years of requests. Money talks.

We are delineating Street Lamp issues that are current and need the city's attention to resolve. Any issues prior to Dec 31, 2015 are being closed. If your Street Lamp issue still needs to be addressed, please create a new issue by selecting the Street Lamp service request in SeeClickFix. Providing a pole number and/or a more precise location is important. Once your issue is submitted, the Transportation, Traffic and Parking Department will acknowledge the issue and create a maintenance/repair work order.
