To update the info on city-side.
OK folks. I am going to briefly close this issue and immediately re-open so please don't get all panicky on me ok? Thanks a bunch.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter!
Update:
A Patrol enforcement officer was sent out yesterday and this morning to ticket vehicles illegally parked on the Thomlinson Bridge. We will continue to ticket vehicles until drivers start using the off-street parking area located along the eastern approach to the bridge.
DTTP- Thanks for the info, and for your hard work on this, and the reminder that it's a state road, so the paths to getting this fixed are going to take longer than if it were under NH jurisdiction.
Definitely keep us updated, and it certainly sounds like patrol enforcement is the short term solution.
Thanks again!
@Pedro et al;
We've looked at various options including low-tech solutions. This is a state bridge/roadway so addtions in this way have to ultimately be approved by the state. There are other factors involved here as well. The city is working with the state on these issues and this can take time as you can see by the posted date above. In the interim, sending out patrol enforcement officers to the site is the most effective way of dealing with the parking problem.
I think those old train rails is a bigger issue - I have'nt heard as to why or exactly what are the fishermen doing to cause a problem ?
How about dispatching the police there daily to improve the problem? They frequently drive over the bridge, so why not inforce the code?
Thanks for the answer DTTP! Do think there might be a low-tech way to fix the problem that might make cars less likely to park there?
Maybe something like those plastic flappy signs in front of stores or even a few heavy planters spaced at irregular distances. As you note, the problem will keep coming back in waves, requiring time and manpower, so maybe there is a way to just make it hard to park.
The department is aware of this onging issue. We have periodically sent patrol enforcement officers to the bridge to ticket vehicles. We will dispatch a vehicle this week as I assume the problem will persist.
This has been such a big problem. Cars are parked there all day everyday! The City of New Haven has been notified so many times, frankly they dont care.
Anyone who is a cyclist/pedestrian on this bridge... car to take some pictures of the problem to get a fresh look at the issue?
Traffic & Parking- this is listed as acknowledged, but any update on this?
So.. this has been open for a year, and the number of cars parking on the sidewalk has doubled in the last year. What police district covers the bridge?
Has this problem disappeared?
