Description

Not sure why Gateway was moved downtown rather than an easy on/off location at Long Wharf w/ plenty of parking, but there is obviously some fixing that need sot happen all the way around it. On George St., people are pulling over in the left turn onto Church lane to drop people off, causing 4 lanes of traffic to back up. Also, the entrance to Churcha nd surrounding areas from Rte 34 is totally a traffic jam at rush hour now, with NHPD traffic cops there to attempt to direct traffic. Are MY tax dollars paying for a private school's and city planner's poor traffic planning? I don't know what can be done now that the bldg is where it is and school has started, but something needs to be figured out. The city and Yale grew up together, so it works - but plunking another school down, a commuter one with almost as many cars as students, is not working. I am also noticing worse traffic on Chapel and Crown all of a sudden, too, as people try to avoid Gateway. This is a real headache for people who live and work here every day. Please deal with this.
