  if you know who they are- approach them with a baggie to "assist" them with the cleanup as you realize they must have forgotten it. That might work although when we've witnessed it we've taken more "aggressive' action.

Illegal Parking on Beautiful Court Street Open

12 Court Street New Haven, CT - Wooster Square

I just moved here and found an apartment on Court and I love it -- it's nearness to the park and to downtown. I especially love that Court Street is almost like a pedestrian mall but that several people continue to park on Court Street despite the fact that it's clearly posted no parking. I have to park my car on Academy or sometimes Greene, Wooster Place, or even Chapel (god forbid) so I don't know why people feel entitled to blighten beautiful court street's lovely ambience by selfishly parking their cars where they should not be. Not trying to cause people trouble, but come on, be good neighbors. Thanks

  Ticket & tow?

  Some people apparently feel entitled for some odd reason. The police should ticket these cars and tow them if they have multiple tickets. Maybe then, they will get the message. i understand the need to park temporarily to unload things from your car, but this is clearly selfishness.

The bathroom is really bad Open

New Haven Public Library 133 Elm St., New Haven, CT - Downtown

The main library has been offering patrons a bathroom on its main floor for a long time (not sure what is going on with the regular bathrooms.) This first-floor bathroom is dirty, very smelly, often splattered. At very least, they need to clean it well, and keep it locked, accessible to those who ask for a key at the front desk. Fortunately children have another bathroom in the library.

  If you look around, the entire library is filthy. Often I find half-eaten sandwiches on the floor, dust, dirt everywhere. I would not dare to try out any of the bathrooms. Is it that hard to hire an after hours cleaning crew? At least locals will have a job.

  I see custodians at the library all the time, it would seem to me the problem lies with the slobs who "splatter" all over the place. Why do you blame the municipal employees for the depredations of New Haven residents, are you Republicans and think it is always the government's fault?

  This problem needs to be addressed because it IS filthy. If the custodians can't go a decent job of cleaning it, they should be fired.
  What do other libraries do?

  If a parking meter is broken - you would not be able to add any time. A covered parking meter indicates that somone has paid the city to use that parking space(s) for a period of time - typically for an event or for some type of construction occurring at that location.
  
  You are welcome to fill out a contestment form - available on the Traffic and Parking home page

Traffic Signal not working at Exit 3 off-ramp. Acknowledged

436 Orange St New Haven, CT 06511, USA - Downtown

The traffic signal at the end of the exit #3 off-ramp and the intersection of Orange and Trumbull isn't working properly. The light will not turn green so traffic can flow off of the exit ramp onto either Orange or Trumbull. It will go through multiple cycles without turning green and when it finally does it only stays green for a couple seconds. This is happening during the height of morning rush hour (8:00am) and traffic was backed up onto I-91 in both directions.

  Please fix this traffic light! It is creating needless delays for people trying to get to work. And it creates a dangerous back-up of cars at a stand-still on 91 North. Frustrating and dangerous!

one of the worst streets in the city Acknowledged

Quinnipiac Avenue New Haven, CT - Fair Haven Heights

Over 30 years and no improvements, the road is torn up from the end of the re-do near Grand Av. to Route 80 Foxen Blvd. No one is telling anything, what if anything is being done to finally re do this section of Quinnnipiac Av. It is a desecrate to the city to have let this go for so long. Where are the 2 alderpeople, where this is in their wards, to keep us updated what is happening if anything? I have waited over 35 years for the city to complete Hemingway St and Nothing has been done on this section of Quinnipiac Av. during that time. We would like to be updated, Thanks.

  If it is anything like the redo of the rest of quinnipiac I would say forget it. We lived with two years of construction, not getting deliveries and not even being able to get into my own driveway between 8-4 and what did we get? A roundabout that you take your life in your hands using, grass that was planted after the first snow last year and has zero chance of growing in...ever. The intersection of grand and quinnipiac has never been finished, the trash can has never been reset, the fencing and landscaping not completed. It appears no punchlist was ever done, we still have rocks, chucks of concrete and unused pipe materials sitting in our yard....so why not finish the first project before you start another.....

  Lighting always has been a problem in sections of Quinnipiac Av. All of us need to show we care about our neighborhood. I am hoping to get some information, if anything is happening from out elected officials. I will pass it on.

No sidewalks on most of Seneca as it approaches Fowler Street Open

1-67 Fowler St New Haven, CT 06515, USA - Amity

This area is a disaster without any sidewalks! The sidewalk ends midway down Seneca as it approaches Frederick and Fowler Streets. It is not safe for walking on the street itself. To make things worse, the city of new haven's school transportation system likes to have a bus-stop at Fowler/Frederick/Secena. It is an accident waiting to happen.

  Update - I've recently realized that the problem is actually mostly on Fowler Street rather than Seneca. In the one-way area of Fowler as it approaches Frederick Street and two-way traffic the sidewalks just disappear. Amity Road to Fowler street to Frederick Street is a busy commonly used cut-through to avoid Whalley & in the opposite direction Seneca to Fowler to Amity is a cut through.
  Between Frederick and Amity Road the Fowler Street sidewalk/area is used by the businesses for parking trucks and cars, then the former post office parking lot, now fenced in, has more cars/trucks parked up against the fence creating further problems for walkers. The walker must choose to squeeze through next to fence or walk on the road. This area really needs some attention!
