Description

The city needs to start shoveling the sidewalk on the corner of orange street and trumbull street next to the highway exit after it snows. Every sidewalk in new haven gets shoveled but for some reason no one will shovel all the way to the crosswalk button and it creates a huge slipping hazard. Last year after the blizzard even though it was extreme circumstances between the plows and the amount of snow we got there was no way to walk to press the crosswalk button and you would have to jump into traffic in order to cross because the snow pile was so high you couldn't even see if someone was coming off the highway to take a right turn. It is a very dangerous intersection to begin with and if you can't get to the crosswalk button it creates an even bigger hazard to cross the street.
