Description
I have lived on this section of Chapel St. for almost 5 years and parking is a major issue. The problem is the lack of available parking spots for residents to use due to St Rapheals employee taking up the spots from early in the morning to after 4 pm. I often am forced to park on Derby sometimes as far down as Winthrop due to the lack of spots. I think they should make a certain amount of spots just for residents and give out permits like they do on George and Hotchkiss.

I recommend contacting your Alderman about this. If you're on the south side of Chapel, you're in ward 23, and your Alderman is Yusuf Shah. You can reach him at ward23 [at] newhavenct [dot] net or 203-507-7679. If you're on the north side of Chapel, you're in ward 24, and your Alderman is Marcus Paca. You can reach him at ward24 [at] newhavenct [dot] net or 203-314-4111. (Contact info for all of the Aldermen and a map of the wards are available at http://www.cityofnewhaven.com/aldermen.) I would also contact Mike Piscitelli, Director of the Department of Traffic, Transportation, and Parking at mpiscite [at] newhavenct [dot] net or 203-946-8078.
I'm sure that if you and your neighbors make your opinions known, you'll be able to work out a solution with the City. Please keep us posted on your progress by commenting here. Thanks.

@CM: Are you on our mailing list to find out about the things we're doing to make our West River neighborhood stronger?
A few of us will be working at Monitor Park Wednesday evening starting around 5:45. You should pop over and say hi.
Or meet us at 730 George Street for our monthly meeting tomorrow (Tuesday, 7/27) at 6.
