Aggressive, roaming dogs Open

46 Wilson Avenue West Haven, CT 06516, USA - West Haven

There are two dogs that live at 46 Wilson Avenue, a small (20 lb), brown mixed breed, and a larger (50 lb) pit bull. These two dogs are often loose on the street, roaming around. I saw them chase two of my neighbors last week when they were out walking their dogs. There are too many children and other dogs on Wilson Avenue to have unleashed, aggressive dogs running around, not to mention that Wilson Avenue has a lot of traffic for a dead-end street and these dogs could easily be hit by a car when they're out running around loose.

This issue is still not attended to. It would be nice if someone could come out and fix this. Its so bad that when you turn onto the street you have to turn into the other lane to avoid the holes. This is an accident waiting to happen.

These potholes are getting worse and worse everyday. Traffic turning onto Swampscott has to turn in the opposite lane to try to avoid the holes. There are no street lights on the corner so you cannot see if someone is coming while you are turning. Please fix this issue before the winter. It is only going to get worse. Where are my tax dollars going???

Nonstop Dog Barking Open

59 Colonial Blvd. West Haven, CT - West Haven

Dog at this residence is constantly getting loose, and never stops barking. Folks walking by are constantly harassed as are neighboring homes.

Either address it civily with the neighbor or call the West Haven Animal Control and have them come out to investigate. A friend of mine got a $200 ticket per dog for barking and he was annoyed to think not one person called him to say "hey your dog is loose and barking". He didn't know because he wasn't home.

I know the person and they know it is a problem, thus far no effort is being made to train or really control the dog.

I'm beginning to wonder about the effectiveness of SeeClickFix. Many open outstanding issues remain in this neighborhood and nothing is happening to resolve them. There have been no written responses from those who should be taking action to resolve the issues on SeeClickFix as to what they plan to do and when.

dangers & unsightly property Open

80 Baggott Street West Haven CT 06516 - West Haven

This abandoned construction property has high grass which breeds mice and rebar sticking out of a foundation in a neighborhood filled with kids. Also, there are useless concrete Jersey barriers all over the place, just to make it hard for the people that live here to turn around.

"Traffic Calming", speeding, school bus, West Haven, blight Open

Colonial Blvd. West Haven, CT 06516, USA - West Haven

Colonial Blvd, needs to be made one way on each side. There is not enough room on each side of the street for two way traffic. One side of the street is notoriously busier than the other, that is not fair we all pay the same taxes. I have attached an image of how the one way traffic flow should work on the street. If the police department is not competent enough to see that there is an issue here and make a necessary change, perhaps a signed petition by residents and a formal complaint to he CT. DOT would be in order. In addition,since the weather has gotten nicer there has been an increase in motorcycle traffic and speeders on the street as well. In addition, between 6:45 am and 7:15 during the week a school bus is always speeding southbound down the street. In regards to the blight, it would be much appreciated if the city could spend a little money to clean up the creek and the grounds in the middle of the street, and possibly plant some trees or grass.

Looks like this was in a recent issue of the West Haven Voice, too, in the 'Gripe Column' - here was the response there:

"Michael Walsh, City Information Officer, received your complaint. Here’s his answer: “I have spoken to Sgt. Eric Pimer of the West Haven Police Department who advised me that a traffic study was completed several years ago about this. This study showed that if Colonial Boulevard were made one way, speed would increase and safety would decrease. With regard to the bus violations, your reader should contact (203) 937-3900 to report the violation when it occurs. In addition, they may wish to contact the bus company and advise them of the violations they are observing.”

I'll be making a formal request to Mr. Walsh for a copy of that traffic study.

Not everyone on that street wants one way streets. Why do your wants and needs outweigh everyone else on the street? They don't!

I disagree. I pay property taxes just like everyone else, perhaps even more. It's not a needs and wants issue it's a safety issue. The fact of the matter is folks don't know how to use their driveways, and the city refuses to put up "slow children at play signs" on either end of the street. So when you have 2 cars coming from opposite directions on the same side of Colonial Blvd. there is barely enough room for them to pass each other. Plus if a car is parked in the street, one lane of traffic has to come to a complete halt so the oncoming car can pass through. There is a reason the street was designed the way it was and that was for each side to be one way. If two way traffic is what it's to be used for then the street needs to be widened on each side. Not sure if you have children, but if you did you're perspective may change. Perhaps the new "transportation director" our school superintendent Mr. Cavallaro wants to hire to waste more taxpayer dollars will address the situation. I'd love to know the year of the traffic study, there are many more cars per household nowadays.

TO MANY CARS ON STREET NEAR THE BEND Open

Coleman Street West Haven, CT - West Haven

There needs to be signs posted no parking beyond this point on both sides of the street near the bend. City buses, and cars turining have very limited space to get around from both directions at the same time. People drive so fast around the corner does not help either!!!!
