Crosswalk needed
A crosswalk is needed for the northern corner of the Pine St/Front St intersection to allow for safe access for children and families to the pedestrian gate of the Waucoma Yacht Club. Currently a dangerous curve on Front Street leaves families with young children dodging speeding traffic to access the pedestrian gate. The road was redone without this crosswalk being striped. There is currently no visual cue for the motorist that people are crossing. Summer boating season makes this a serious issue as more and more people access the club.

It looks like the next step on their list of things to do is to get your alderwoman onboard:

I want to see that Photoshopped thingy. Anyone have planters to spare? Let's do it this Saturday.
concerned:
the speed limit there is low enough that the visibility between the crosswalk & the curve is sufficient. (This was OK'd by City Engineering)
If you are speeding you might not have sufficient time to brake, but otherwise, I encourage you to measure the distance yourself. I approximated it at 35 feet.
While I think crosswalks are important all over town, this one was placed due to hundreds of neighbors asking for it directly to parks, plus a really active SCF clicket, plus the aldermanic hopeful Justin Elicker's incredible work on getting it in.
Ben,
I certainly hope so!! But again, you never know!
I think there was sarcasm there but I could be wrong. :-)
What east rocker?? Really?? Please explain yourself.
East Rock is more important than Fair Haven, concerned.
The New Haven Park and Rec dept put a crosswalk in east rock park on a blind corner. It is on farnum Drive after east rock road going north. I will call the city on this because it is VERY dangerous to encourage people to cross the road after a blind corner.
Instead of having this one put in, why could they not put one here in Fair Haven?
That's Photoshop. It's from the 2008 Fair Haven Traffic Calming Charette where neighbors were invited to help lay out a long-term traffic calming vision for east Fair Haven. I referred to the document (w/ links) numerous times in my previous commentary. I believe the Photoshopping was done by Dan Burden and his associates.
Brian,
Is that Photoshop? Did they really put a traffic circle in there?
WOW you people just keep fueling each other. Keep up the good work.

Why didn't his Auto Insurance cover him? Did he have any?

That’s an outrage!
We also need to have the city address the double-yellow line down Front. Erin, our soon-to-be former alderwoman, REALLY has tried to move the city on this. Not only does it encourage speeding, but we are at risk. How? For those of you who back out of your driveways, crossing the double-yellow line with the rear of your car, puts you at risk. If someone hit you, even if the person was speeding, you would be at fault. Ask Erin. Her father-in-law was sued b/c a speeding car hit him while he backed out of his driveway, crossing the double-yellow line. Should we make this another strand?
Agreed!
Maybe someone should ask the company to donate :-)
That's really awesome that advertisements are part of a solution Ben
The neighborhood can create history maybe (first time ads ever were part of a solution?) if we actually install some
