Description
There is constant speeding occurring on Clifton St (where the posted speed limit is 25 mph but the average speed is closer to 40+ mph). In addition, people are always blowing the stop signs on Russell St. Needless to say there is atleast one accident a year at this intersection and numerous near misses. Either a four-way stop sign or speed bumps are needed to slow down the traffic on Clifton St. This is also a high pedestrian traffic area due to both a city bus stop and school bus stops and it can be dangerous crossing the street due to the speeding vehicles.

Have you contacted your Alderperson about this issue?
The city's complete streets policy was adopted unanimously this fall, and there are forms within the new manual for requesting changes like these.
Contact the city's transportation department and/or newhavensafestreets (at) gmail.com (a local advocacy group) if you need assistance requesting these types of changes to your street.
Many of your neighbors agree this is a major problem and that changes should be made ASAP.
