Deskripsyon

The city's plows continue to scrape streets that are perfectly passable by automobiles, even if it forces drivers to actually observe speed limits (imagine that). On top of that, the plows are now throwing snow onto sidewalks that have already been cleared (beach St is an example). How about transferring the resources now being wasted on finessing every last bit of snow off the streets into clearing sidewalks and crosswalks? Many crosswalks are BURIED in plowed snow. No doubt Public (Doesn't) Works will say that these are the responsibilities of residents and businesses, which is a cynical and unreasonable argument.
Shame on West Haven for showing such blatant contempt and disregard for the needs of pedestrians.

What about all the homeowners who don't shovel their walks? Why doesn't the city ticket them? It's impossible to walk whenever there's snow because of the same homeowners, over and over. Think of the revenue this would generate for the city, as well as the responsibility people would have to take.

Shovel? They can't pick up trash onthe lawn or move the cars for a parking ban....this town is becoming a nightmare of inconsiderate people who care not about anything....sad and wish I could sell the house and get out before it gets worse.....house for sale.........

Hello? (Panauhin)

Where is the WHPD? Public Works? Who in this city is responsible for enforcement?

As a fellow West Havener put it to me: "welcome to West Haven, now please lower your expectations." This is a town that is overwhelmed by people who are seriously civically challenged. And rather than demand what would be reasonable behaviors anywhere else, West Haven's administrations -- mayor, public works, police department, etc -- have been complicit by refusing to expect more. "The bigotry of low expectations." I would love to move, and once -- if -- the market picks up, my house is for sale, or better yet, I'll rent it on Section 8 to help the deterioration along; sometimes things have to get worse before they can get better. Perhaps West Haven has to hit bottom, but I don't want to be here when that happens.

Good question. But this is a deeply systemic problem with West Haven. No enforcement. And perhaps because they just don't care, and can't even be shamed into caring. Check out this very typical street corner.... at a bus stop. The plow just went diagonally from corner to corner, deliberately pushing the snow right into the curb cut. Because that's what they're meant for, right?, as receptacles for snow.
