Description
I'm no fan of speed bumps, but this might be the place for one, on the eastbound approach to the signals at Crescent and Roger White. The visibility is limited because of the curve and because of the overhanging limbs from the undeveloped area on the south side. Cars are often upon that intersection before they see they light or that traffic is stopped. There's a lot of pedestrian traffic from the neighborhood and SCSU crossing there. Some of it is jaywalkers, but even people using the crosswalk correctly find eastbound cars screeching to a stop because they came around the curve too fast.

There you will find a “Complete Streets Manual” and “Project Request Form”. The City has developed an entire program around improving New Haven’s streets in order to provide safer and more convenient access to a greater number of transportation modes. This issue is a good example of the types of ideas that fall under the “Complete Streets” scope.
A focal point of this program is to include feedback and ideas for street improvements from members of the community. You will also find previously submitted project requests from other community members.
