Light out on traffic signal Acknowledged

62 Ellsworth Ave New Haven, CT - West River

Going north on Ellsworth Avenue, there are two traffic signals at Chapel Street. The red light for the traffic signal on the right does not illuminate. The yellow and green lights function properly. So does the traffic signal on the left.

I called in this same problem a month or two ago, and it was fixed. I'm surprised it's back again so soon. Maybe there's something wrong with the traffic signal that's causing the red light to fail.

(And I know I'm supposed to call this in, but I keep forgetting to call during business hours.)

Build the West River Greenway trail. Open

1013-1041 Ella T Grasso Blvd New Haven, CT 06519, USA - West River

I bicycle pretty much anywhere, but I have to admit that I feel pretty shook up whenever I ride on Boulevard. Paving a trail in West River Memorial Park alongside the road, combined with crosswalk improvements, would both make Boulevard a complete street and add significantly to New Haven’s greenway trail network.

  A W. River Greenway would be awesome to have. Even though I love spending time in every neighborhood, I typically avoid large sections of the city simply because they just are not pleasant to get to on the existing infrastructure.

  Are there any plans to resurface this street? When redone, it should be rebuilt according to the city's Complete Streets Law. http://seeclickfix.com/issues/119210 has some additional discussion and suggestions that may be helpful.

  Sign still not replaced. Neighbors report a recent break-in and increased 'undesirable traffic' on this very block. Thankfully no shootings yet

Huge pile of trash! Acknowledged

55 Derby Ave New Haven, CT - West River

There is a gigantic pile of trash in the alley between the building at 55 Derby and the parking lot of the church next door. The pile must be 8 or 10 ft wide by 3-4 ft tall. I hope that it will be taken to the curb with the blue trash bins and cleared away by morning by sanitation workers. If not, this could be a health issue, not to mention an eyesore.

  while the initial pile of trash has been somewhat cleared, the problem continues. What seems to have happened is that the trash was brought to the curb, but not all of it was in the blue bins or even properly bagged. Now the curb strip is littered with boxes, wrappers, and other bits of trash for approximately 30 ft. This stuff is blowing all around into neighbor's yards and is definitely having a negative impact on our neighborhood.
  
  The residents and the owner of this property have a responsibility to make sure that garbage is properly managed. Sanitation workers have come by twice since I posted this, and the problem remains. What can be done about this? Does anyone want to come out and bag up the trash with me? I think that once we've done this, we should put it in their blue bins, where it belongs.

  The trash has been picked up. Thanks to whoever did this! Let's hope that this doesn't happen again.
  
  If the residents need more blue bins to contain their trash, they should call public works.

  Animal Control was contacted this afternoon by a concerned viewers of this site. The original complainant has not contacted us. The shelter does not have internet access and can only be made aware of complaints on this site if it is viewed on personal time at home or it is brought to our attention by the concerned parties alerting us to the complaint on line.
  
  This site is useful to get problems resolved, but in order for someone to investigate a complaint vital information is needed. Much has been left out of this complaint.
  
  The most important information is the Numerical address. If there is no number displayed on the house, what color is the house and what are the addresses and colors of he homes adjacent to it. There are no descriptions of the animals, breed, size, color and condition. From the details given it sounds like at least one is in a crate not a pen. How long are they outside? A few hours, all day then brought in the house or outside 24 hours? Is this a multi family home? What floor do the dogs owners live, is the family Black, White or Hispanic ? These are questions we would ask had a call been placed to the shelter directly which would help us determine that we are speaking with the responsible parties as well as acting on behalf of the correct animals of the complaint.
  
  You, the complainant, may think we can just take an hour or two out of the day and inspect every backyard on Porter St. The shelter is staffed 9AM- 5PM everyday, there are five staff members working alternate days throughout the week, no receptionist and over a hundred animals at the shelter to feed, clean, treat medically and find homes for, investigate other complaints throughout the city, respond to emergencies and too many other duties to list.
  Also there must be clear legal justification for entering someones private property. Pinpointing an address limits violating someones privacy and property rights. There are laws that we must follow.
  
  It has been over 20 hours since this complaint was lodged on this site and as of 5 PM today no one called the shelter other than a concerned party reading the information here.
  So please call the shelter at (203) 946-8110 to leave your detailed account using information provided here so we may investigate this complaint.

Parking Lot Entrance Ramp Bump Open

200 Derby Avenue New Haven, CT - West River

When turning into the Boulevard Field parking lot, the ramp up is terribly structured (big bump), and many cars bottom out. While cars bottoming out is probably not an urgent issue, the real public safety concern is that it's a high-traffic area and people often don't have a ton of time to turn. In order to avoid the bump, vehicles will often slow down considerably when turning into the parking lot, and I've seen a few close calls from oncoming traffic as a result.

Should only be used for emergency purposes only.thank you very much.

I hope that somebody will respond back to me soon.

Please do something about this issue.

  Because they are selfish and heartless and careless and think that the world revolves around them, and that their stupid, little conversations are more important than human life. I hope that they learn their lesson, but w/o hurting anyone other than themselves.
