Illegal ATV driven frequently parked here Closed

81? Perkins St New Haven, CT - Chatham Square

An occupant of the duplex house on the corner of Perkins & Pine, with the orange stairs in front of the house is frequently riding a green quad style ATV up and down Perkins st and using the speed bumps as a jumping ramp. NHPD called about this twice and I have yet to see a police officer even patrol the street. This house is also widely known to be involved in some sort of drug trafficking. Frequent stops by many different cars with quick exchanges being made through drivers side windows. EMail and call placed to mayor's office as well.

  I will be closing dirt bike/ATV complaints that pre-date the conclusion of the police undercover operation (see www.newhavenindependent.org/index.php/archives/entry/9_arrested_in_dirt_bike_sting/). I do not expect the dirt bike/ATV issue to be completely solved, but it will be helpful to policing efforts to distinguish new reports from those before this recent operation.
  
  Please open up new SCF issues as dirt bike/ATV issues re-occur.

Dirtbikes and ATVs AGAIN Closed

Chatham Square New Haven, CT - Chatham Square

Last night, dirt bikes and ATVs were racing around the neighborhood all night from about 6:00 p.m. on. My daughter and I were both woken up by them racing down Downing Street at 3:00 a.m. This must end. This is a noise and safety concern that is not improving at all, and someone is going to get hurt.

illegal quads, dirtbikes Closed

50 Bright St. New Haven, CT - Chatham Square

illegal dirtbikes, and one illegal quad, and unregistered street motorcycle coming from this filthy hovel. The people "living", in this squalor, apparently have as little respect for themselves as they do for other people.

  Keep sharing! This plague is well-documented on SCF for years now, so if nothing gets done, we are going to have real problems to vent with the City of New Havens' elected officials, especially come election time!

Street sweeping Open

Blatchley Ave. Front St New Haven, Connecticut - Chatham Square

When theres street sweeping every 2 weeks ( now every month, which every year street sweeping gets worse ) sweeping in blatchley ave always gets skipped since they sweep from wooster square to blatchley '. Then they leave from blatchley to front st for the week after , my point is schedule for street sweeping in fair haven is a mess . And this part of the city is littered severely , many of us clean our streets but not enough is done by the city .

  We have been writing the same crap on here for three years...stop the fishing from the bridge, stop the dirt bikes...but nothing ever happens! Where are the NHPD????? I see people lined up fishing all day on the bridge and hundreds of cops drive across the bridge and do nothing! Every once in awhile one will get on his loud speaker but never actually enforce anything or even come to a complete stop. NHPD has abandoned Fair Haven just like the rest of the city gov't.

  The fishing starts at the beginning of the fishing season but after some enforcement it stops. Keep calling the police and it will stop by the end of June.

  It stops the heat of summer because the fish stop running up stream and the warm water makes it a less desirable spot to fish from. Not because of any NHPD enforcement...Come fall they will be back...

Crosswalk needed here too! Open

248 Front St New Haven, CT 06513 - Chatham Square

People race down Front - often through the stop sign, on Front, where Lewis spills into Front. The road curves here and is dangerous. The NEw Haven Police have been staked out here the last couple of months, so there is A LOT of evidence about this problem spot. It is SO DANGEROUS TO CROSS THE STREET here. A raised crosswalk would stop the speeders who fly through that stop sign. Someone will get killed here.

  Often, I watch cars fly through this stop sign which is a a blind curve. Someday, someone is going to get killed, and I hope the city is sued for negligence. This has been a problem for years.

Condemned Property Open

17 Lewis St New Haven, CT 06513 - Chatham Square

This property is condemned according to the city, yet it is completely open and is a serious danger for neighborhood children. This property has been sitting in this condition for almost two years. Plus, prostitutes and drug dealers park in front of the house because it is very dark with no lighting. When is the city going to have this house torn down? Will the city patrol the area so that drug dealers and prostitutes no longer hang out right in front of this blighted house?

  The situation at 17 Lewis has now been going on for years. It needs to be demolished, plain and simple. There is nothing that can be salvaged from Keith and Heather's bizarre DIY attempt. I used to live on Lewis and still live in the neighborhood. My friends have to live and raise their young children next to this disaster that attracts human and animal vermin. Please, City of New Haven, demand that the structures be razed and that the property be cleared of all debris and trash. We have had it with the inaction.

  It looks like some of you cooked your own goose by making the owners stop working on the place. From reading the above comments it doesn't look like anybody on Lewis St gave them the benefit of the doubt they were actually progressing with their project going back a couple of years - albeit not to the satisfaction of the neighbors. I'm born & raised on Long Island where this kind of stuff goes on all the time. The difference is, there you're talking million-dollar homes and property taxes well into 5-figures. From the outside it looks like the little guy picking on the little guy; the city got sick of hearing about it and stopped anything from happening. A loose-loose situation.

  XX, please don't start this kind of commenting war again. There's been lots of he said-she said-he said already, and we don't need this right now. Please don't go there again. If LCI is dealing with the owner (see Justin Elicker's comment above), then that's a good thing and that'll be more successful than more arguments on this already long and drawn out issue. Thank you.

Bike lane needed from Clinton Avenue to Orange Street Acknowledged

A bike lane is needed between the existing Clinton Ave. and Orange Street bike lanes. If you agree click, "I want this fixed too” and comment. Pictures welcomed. We especially want to hear from folks currently biking from Chatham Square Neighborhood to any place north of the Green or beyond. Come on people we can get this! Here is one proposed route:

  The 2010 Elm City Cycling Bike Plan for New Haven recommended bike lanes where possible on Humphrey and Lombard and sharrows along the remainder. We recommended that they install D-series bicycle destination signs along the route and R4-11 "bicycles may use full lane" signs on either end of the narrow underpass beneath the railroad.
  
  In September of 2010, sharrows were painted between East St and Front St. A bike lane in one direction and sharrows in the other were painted between State and Orange Streets. Humphrey St between State and East Streets awaits sharrows. Neither bicycle destination signs nor the "bicycles may use full lane" signs were installed. Funding is not currently allocated for the signs. Additional public pressure is required in order for bicycle destination signs and "bicycles may use full lane" signs to be installed.
