Description
To improve the safety of the mid-block crossing for pedestrian and bicycle traffic, we ask the City of New Haven to implement a mid-block, painted or stamped crosswalk with pedestrian crossing signs and pedestrian-activated flashing signals at 222 York Street directly in front of the University Theatre. In addition, in order to slow traffic approaching this mid-block crossing and to improve pedestrian visibility within this crosswalk, we ask the city to limit parking near this midblock crosswalk directly across from and in front of the theater and to clearly designate no-parking areas on either side of the mid-block crosswalk. Finally, to provide for disability access, curb cuts need to be installed at either end of this crosswalk.

Just because Yale pedestrians/bikers don't feel like going to the end of the block to a legal cross walk doesn't mean the behavior of dangerous crossing in the middle of a street has to be accommodated.

FYI - construction has started on the midblock crosswalk. The construction will be delayed for a week because of some conduit / electrical work to repair the broken street light. There will be a day where there will be no traffic in the next two weeks. Please stay tuned - and it should be wrapped up on June 17th.
I'm only closing because we are in construction, and certainly will complete construction.
