Description
I have spent months trying to work with the NHPD and CT Transit on the speeding that goes on on Concord Street day and night. The posted speed limit is 25 mph. The buses often go well above that, particuliarly bad at night. I have notified CT Transit about specifics on at least 50 occasions. They send out "supervisors" who sit on Concord with their flashers on during the day. They were here once at night, but the "supervisor" was on his screeen as buses flew by. He did nothing. Earlier in the day he followed a couple buses creeping down the Street. My windows shake. The buses use the double yellow line as a center marker for their bus. Done. I am asking if there are people willing to sign a petition to get them off of Concord. And once again, I am asking NHPD to put someone down here for a period of time, giving out speeding tickets...not just you went through the stop sign tickets. This is ridiculous. The taxes are high and nothing gets done on this issue. But they want to make Tweed bigger...noisier. Done. FIx this. I am contacting my legislators and the Dept of Transportation. I have given this enough of an effort, enough information and time for this to be corrected. Perhaps speedbumps before someone gets killed. I am told they are noisy. Well not as noisy as a bigger airport, speeding buses and automobiles, non-stop. Someone is going to get killed. This is a residential street. Not a highway. Does it take someone getting killed? Because there is enough documentation now that there has been a non-response.
I attach a picture of the supervisor from CT transit with his blinkers on. The buses are slow today since he came and sits where they all can see him. WITH HIS FLASHERS ON!

Of course the supervisor is visible- there all friends with each other- had same problem. Multiple requests for Supervisor to NOT BE VISIBLE TO CATCH THEM. Problem is they don't want to.
I am VERY SURPRISED your distrcit manager hasn't been able to handle this problem, he is usually very responsive BUT it seems its
Time for Nails in the road (just as bus goes by then cleanup b4 cops show up) or start parking so as the road is so narrow they have to come to almost a complete stop- will take more than 1 car.
Take video and post on you-tube, stop bus by standing in road- they will stop- put up cones and/or saw horses.
Claim bus hit you in passing (just a graze) then sue bus company. That may wake them up.
You must take matters into your own hands if our governmental structure won't.
Just don't get caught red handed. Its called monkey wrenching and there's a book by the same name. Its your only option left.
