It has been one month, and the giant light pole lights that light Trinity Church on the Green at night are still not working. The pole is on the corner of Temple and Chapel Streets.

Still waiting for the city to do something about these critical street lights and light poles. At least a dozen homeless people live next to and behind the church, and I have to clean up their bodily waste every day. When the city lights work, they deter this kind of behavior, as well as the petty crime that happens at the bus stop (drug deals). The city should actually install MORE lights than there are at present, for safety and health reasons. As long as the city tolerates large numbers of people living on the Green, this problem will persist. Please, city of New haven - do something!

Sorry for not seeing this right away. Is there a pole number on the lights? Also, feel free to give me a call - I'll be downtown today for lunch and can walk by and check it out. 203-309-2737

Also a picture of the poles would help speed the process up for the street lighting division

I think the "giant light pole" refers to the large wooden poles located on the lower portion of the Green, aiming at Trinity and Center churches. If my assumption is correct, there is unlikely a poll number and the power source comes from the in-ground boxes near the poles. The power went out to these poles a few years ago and a solution was not quick in coming, so hopefully this time around can be better! Particularly as soon as the Quinnipiac buses return, dumping students off at this exact, darkened spot.

The other street lamps are just that - the lamp kind, so they may also not have pole numbers, but someone should check. Thanks Doug for looking in to the matter and Sam for reporting!

They are not wooden, but metal, with pegs on the sides far up, for the pole climbers. There are no power boxes near them, and no pole number on them. It is a busy corner at night, with a very busy bus stop, and we need the light. I hope the city can fix this ASAP. Thanks

The giant poles are the shared responsibility of the churches on the Green, not the City.

Thank you - we will look into the matter with the other churches.
I want to report that: POLE 162 and 164 are on all day
POLES 163, 165, 166 need to be checked at night
SMALL POLES 44, 45 also need to be checked
A lot of people waiting for the bus are using our walls for a urinal at night and even during the day, even though we have motion detector lights on all along the wall.
Thank you!

There's the light in question! Yes - this is a shared responsibility between the churches. Thanks Sam!

Thanks for fixing this issue!
