Description
I'm hoping to start a discussion about the speeding problem on Clark Street. It's proximity to bars and restaurants, and it's use as a 'pass through' to get to Orange street could likely be the explanation for a large percentage of the speeding going on down this road as opposed to the quieter streets I've noticed in East Rock. Is there any way the city could look into speed humps or curbs to cut down on the speeding? As a resident, I've almost been nailed a few times each year crossing the street to get to my car.

There you will find a “Complete Streets Manual” and “Project Request Form”. On October 23, 2008, The New Haven Board of Aldermen unanimously passed an order creating a nine member Complete Streets Steering Committee to guide the development of the following elements for the purpose of addressing the status of city streets: policy document, design manual, public process, educational campaign and traffic enforcement.
A focal point 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. Please submit a “Project Request Form” for this issue through the link above. As a resident, you are not required to design anything. Instead, use the "Complete Streets Manual" as a showcase of the different types of traffic calming measures that may be used.
