Overflowing Garbage Cans/Garbage All Over Street Archived

Long Wharf New Haven, CT - Long Wharf

Long Wharf Park is a mess due to those food trucks. The garbage cans are often overflowing near the trucks as well as in Long Wharf Park. There is garbage all over the street, left on the memorials which is incredibly disrespectful. I have seen rats running around. This is a beautiful area and it is being spoiled.

Dangerous and Disgusting Conditions Open

3 Long Wharf Dr New Haven, CT 06511, USA - Long Wharf

Those food trucks on Long Wharf are destroying the beauty of the area. In addition to the trash that both the trucks leave around (overfilled trashbins, overflowing boxes next to the bins, the smell of grease) and the customers (trash all over the ground, on the picnic tables, and sadly on the memorials) are leaving around, it is dangerous for drivers and pedestrians. People are double parking in the road, they run out between and in front of cars, and speed around. I have seen rats and the number of seagulls and crows the mess is creating is a health hazard.

  I agree, the City of New Haven should be ashamed of itself to allow those vendors to totally destroy what could be a beautiful area.
  
  Has anyone from the Health Dept. been down there lately to see what a disgusting mess it has become?!? Why anyone would want to eat there is beyond me! Rats feeding out of the overflowing trash cans, seagulls flying overhead spreading God only knows what over everyone and everything!!! Where is the Police Dept. to ticket the double and triple parkers? Children running back and forth across the street between cars.
  
  What a MESS, clean it up New Haven!!!!

  This seems to be a pattern - when you've cut the staff that was once responsible for emptying the trash cans, they just remove the trash cans. It's B.S.

  This is true throughout the city.We have a beautiful city but there is a lot of litter and more and more roadside dumping of bulk trash. It does not make sense to take away the trash cans so people throw trash down on the streets and in the bushes at the park.

  It's the food vendors and their patrons that leave the mess...I have seen them throw the trash on the ground or leave it on the picnic tables. It is absolutely disgusting when i see the trash left on the memorials. No respect! I have written about this issue many times to no avail. When I wrote about this issue previously, someone posted that one of the truck's owners was an alderman which can explain why nothing is ever done about it.
  
  In addition to the mess, those trucks also create hazardous conditions for pedestrians and drivers - double parking, pull out of the parking lots right in front of traffic, 18-wheelers just parking in the middle of a lane to go and get food...

Drug dealing / trash Open

105 Cedar St New Haven, CT - Long Wharf

24 hour activity, at the house next to the corner liquor store. Cars coming and going non-stop and the building and surrounding property is being trashed. Large groups of young, aimless, unemployed men hanging out. Would not be surprised if someone ends up getting shot at this place. Also, why is it so easy to buy poison in the ghetto? Do you think Guilford would allow New Haven slumlords to set up skanky shops, selling garbage and poison to the youth in Guilford?

  Absolutely right. The residents in Guilford would immediately call the cops. Also, they don't treat their Police Officers with such contempt when they try to do their job, and they don't cultivate an attitude that the PD are the bad guys. When you change that attitude, then you will see a less complacent population that will be less willing to allow this to go on right next to them.
  
  In short call the PD and don't be afraid to take direct action to take back your neighborhood.

  It's possible that part of the problem may be that public works suspended bulk trash pick-up all winter, due to the massive snowfall, which is now gone. They don't seem to have resumed the appointments, though, which could be contributing to all the dumping. Please call public works to put pressure on them to clean this stuff up as well as to resume the bulk appts. The more of us that call, the better.

  Tires have been removed. Thanks Chris Soto/LCI.
  To JT: City Point originally was known as Oyster Point due to the oyster companies—not fishing—on South Water St. The 1868 Hallock building lots were bounded by Hallock AVE & Greenwich Ave. (Greenwich originally stopped at Kimberly Ave; there was no Kimberly Square). The attached photo/map shows what it looked like in 1868 when the Hallock family began selling the lots. (The water on the right is part of New Haven Harbor: now filled in by the rail yard, the parking lot for One Long Wharf, the Register building, Sargent Drive, Long Wharf Drive, Gateway Community College, Ikea, Food Terminal, & Brewery St. Post Office. The marsh on the left is where Betsy Ross School & Kimberly Field now are located. On this map the words “Oyster Point” are located where I-95 now cuts through the Point.) “Point” means a small, narrow peninsula, which you clearly can see it once was before most of the surrounding water was drained and filled in. The Hallocks worked to change the name to City Point so their lots would seem more upscale, but the name Oyster Point & City Point continued to be used interchangeably until the early 20th century.
  The tires—which thankfully now are removed—were just around the corner from these lots, at Cedar St. & Lamberton St. (see upper right corner of map photo). Therefore, JT you were correct—the tires were not quite in City Point (Oyster Point).
  There’s been an unfortunate tendency in city administration since the early 1970s to lump historically-identifiable neighborhoods into a vast area called The Hill (which is much too large an “area” to call a “neighborhood”, e.g. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neighborhood ). However, anyone who lives south of the intersections of Hallock Ave. & Lamberton; Howard Ave. & Lamberton; and Greenwich Ave. and First St. rightfully can call themselves a City Point resident (even though the city Planning Dept. map lumps it into The Hill, & the Police Dept. & LCI call it part of “Hill South”). **History trumps city bureaucracy.** (Obviously it also would be correct to say that City Point is a unique Neighborhood, situated within a larger Area that today is called The Hill.)

garbage filth litter rat infestation Archived

Long Wharf Dr New Haven, CT - Long Wharf

filthy taco trucks have created a major trash problem along Long Wharf. There is garbage and litter everywhere, also rat infestation from the waste these "food" trucks produce and their clientele who throw garbage on the ground, or any place other than a trash can. The park has become a disgusting, filthy dump since these "food" trucks have set up business and spread garbage all over the place.

  Still a ton of litter in that area. Now the food trucks have been moved to the parking lot, on the opposite side of the street. Oh yes, and some of the vendors have been involved in disputes where one of them produced a gun - would you like a bullet with that filthy burrito? How can you have food vendors and food preparation, when there are no bathroom facilities? No regular trash pickup either - the whole place is disgusting and unsanitary. I think the city asked the vendors not to pour their used grease into the storm drains - good luck with that.

  Thank you for bringing this up. It is truly digusting and sad. This little spot has potential. It looks like some "Preserve the sound" folks have been making some efforts that are totally disrespected by the garbage dumpers. I've seen city employees making an effort to clean up, which is nice but also makes me mad--our tax dollars going to pay to clean up after thoughtless pigs.
  
  The idea of food carts along the water is actually a lovely one, I think. Everybody loves the carts by the med school. Maybe the Long Wharf area needs more trash recepticals, signs posting steep fines for littering, and strict enforcement (maybe the cops that are already stationed around there for the roadwork could help). And those carts dumping grease or otherwise being disrespectful of the park should be banned and fined with all fines going towards improvement of the area
