Local Drug dealer and his buddies playing basketball on the street has become... Archived

50 Hobart Street Meriden, Connecticut - Meriden

The Local drug dealer, Charles Lewis, who currently has warrants out for his arrest, has put up a basketball hoop at the curb of 50 Hobart Street. He has all his buyers speeding up and down the street after their deals. His supplier comes by and threatens to kill him and blow up his house at 50 Hobart street if he doesn't have all the money when gets back (this particular shouting match happened at 3am, Lucky us). He and his drug buddies block traffic all the time during these games, sometimes outright refuse to move out the way when cars want to drive through. Yesterday, the police were called because a neighbor asked them to please get on the sidewalk while he backed out of his drive way and the group of eight or so men became belligerent, aggressive, and about to get very physical and violent with the neighbor until the neighbor's sister told them she was calling the police. About four of them, including Lewis, ran into their home on 50 Hobart street and hid until the cops left. When the police showed up and other neighbors tried to show support and let the police know that this is a serious and ongoing problem with all the other residents in the neighborhood as well, the police told them to be quiet and go back to their homes! The police didn't bother to arrest the drug dealers, even the ones with the warrants and just told them to go inside and play basketball later. That's ridiculous! Hobart street is being taken over by drug dealers who believe they are above the law. I know the police are busy but they really need to help us out on this street.

Rotten Tree and Raised Sidewalk Open

23 St Casmir Dr Meriden, Connecticut - Meriden

There are two dangerous situations in front of the shelter and Salvation Army on St Casmir Drive here in Meriden. Those who are disabled cannot pass through because of raised sidewalk from tree root and there is a rotten tree next to it that is also a danger and needs to be cut down. It would be appreciated if someone could address this issue and contact someone at the Salvation Army about this hazard. There is also a disability and elderly building at the end of the street.

Torn up sidewalk by snow plows @ 40 Baldwin Avenue, Meriden , CT Archived

31-69 Baldwin Ave Meriden, CT 06450, USA - Meriden

Side walks have been torn up by snow plows for several years @ 40 Baldwin Ave. We are 1 house away from Nathan Hale School and children will walk in the street and mothers with baby carriages will also go in the street. A city tree was cut down 10 years ago and the stump removed last year so the side walk can be remade to proper spec's.

Snow Dumped on Private Property/Parking Area Archived

View Street Meriden, CT - Meriden

This is not the first time, Howard W. came out once before and talked to us-he specifically said the city should not be on private property, so then why has, what looks to be 3 to 4 payloaders worth of snow, been dumped on my property? Part of my parking area was also damaged. I see Larry is here addressing others concerns. Please addres this issue-how can I possibly stay off the street when the city has dumped snow in my off street parking area? And when can the city come and remove this? (Picture shows my car partially on sidewalk as a result of snow being dumped)

  A Big Thank You to Howard Weissberg from the City of Meriden (Engineering Department). After speaking with Jane on Wednesday, 2/13, Howard came to my home and saw that yes, in fact a mistake had been made and snow was dumped in my private off-street parking area. The issue was rectified on 2/14, and Howard even called me back to ensure that everything was o.k. I greatly appreciate Howard's efforts, especially when I'm sure he was getting 100's of calls in the storm's aftermath. Also, thank you to the public works folks who acknowledged the mistake and fixed it.

Speeding Cars Archived

Gravel Street Meriden, CT - Meriden

I have complained numerous times to our police department, city councilors and mayor's hotline about the speeding cars on Gravel Street and have yet to see radar or an increased police presence. On a dialy basis, someone is following me too closely that when I try to turn into my own driveway (yes, I use my turn signal) they have to either slam on their brakes or pull onto the sidewalk to avoid hitting my car.

With the amount of school children walking in this area, one would think this issue would be taken a bit more seriously. Is the city waiting for someone to be killed before something is done to control the speeding?

  Well, it's very sad that not only did I never receive a response from a neighborhood watch group, city councilor, the mayor or the city manager, I have yet to see a police car even pretending to use radar on Gravel Street. This is so typical of a once-great city like Meriden - no one no longer cares. If a student gets killed walking to or from school, will you take the necessary steps then?

  Would it be too much to ask that the roadways throughout the City of Meriden get regular maintenance prior to deterioration that will cost taxpayers unnecessary money? If a homeowner was to not properly maintain their property we'd be receiving blight letters and could face possible fines. Would it be inappropriate to send a blight letter to the City of Meriden when deteriorating roadways add to the blight of neighborhoods?

Multiple Sidwalks Not Shoveled Archived

There are a number of houses on Gravel Street that have not shoveled their sidewalks. This is making it difficult and dangerous for children walking to school (they have to walk in the road). The houses/sidewalks start around 222 Gravel and continue north towards Nathan Hale. After the ice storm and subsequent melting, these sidewalks are now covered with snow and ice.

  All residential streets in this city should be no parking zones. The streets are too narrow for cars to be parked on the street versus a driveway anyway.
  
  Why the @#$% live in the suburbs with a driveway if you're not going to use it? If you have more cars than driveway space, sell those cars so you're not impeding traffic with your overflow.
  
  Plus the fines could help with the city's perpetual lack of money.

Road Issues Archived

384 Johnson Ave Meriden, CT 06451 - Meriden

Over the weekend, I read an article in the Record Journal that talked about the city purchasing the old Medical Building on Cook Avenue for 700,000. I was puzzled over the fact that the city had enough money to purchase this old building but said there was not enough money to do road repair on Alan Ave. and Johnson Ave. I believe the figure that was quoted was $1m to re-do both of these roads. Well, it seems that $700K is VERY close to being a million dollars isn't it? Why could this money not be redirected into the road repair fund? I am thinking that the town could have taken that building via a lien, eminent domain or whatever and used that $700k to finish the road work?? What does the Town plan to do with that old building? Why in the world was that much money tossed into buying that building when the roads and sidewalks are falling apart on the West Side of town?

  Mr. Kendzior:
  
  as City Manager perhaps you should have and could have made a definite schedule of what sections/streets were going to be done on certain days. Some of us lost electric power and internet service. Not all citizens subscribe to the newspaper. to just put out there that the city will pick up for one week and not know when or where trucks were at any given time, I as a homeowner was not prepared due to issues I myself had to address concerning my home. Irene flooded my basement so I'm constantly cleaning to avoid mold issues, still going through and throwing out wet items and boxes to avoid mold issues. Then came the October storm, still dealing with Irene issues I had no idea of the time limit to get out to clear broken limbs and get them to the street for pick up. Obviously one week was not enough and publicly it should have and could have been announce more time was allotted but in a section scheduling not sporatically here there everywhere. I'm sure you're time is as valuable as ours within personal scheduling, you want to know when where how ...give the citizens of Meriden the courtesy of knowing when we need to get things done so pickup can be ready.
  
  guess you have to be fortunate enough to be employed with the City to know when to definitely have debris at the curb. Spread the word to those of us who do not have inside knowledge. I know I don't like last minute arrangements and I'm sure you do not like them either
  
  Seems cleanup was done like CL&P...with lack of communication
  
  By the way, your post here was the first time I became aware that cleanup was still taking place

Top of tree broken in half near Hanover School Archived

Main Street South Meriden, CT - Meriden

Across from Hanover school in South Meriden next to the YMCA parking lot there is a tree with the top half broken and hanging over the sidewalk, this is the same sidewalk that the YMCA uses to walk kids to school everyday for pre-k and kinder. It will be a bad situation if that tree finally lets go and lands on a group of kids being walked to school.

This isn't just an appearance problem its a serious safety matter.

Dead tree threatens walkers, vehicles Archived

208 Baldwin Ave. Meriden, CT - Meriden

There is a dead tree only a few feet off the sidewalk that has been dead for a few years. The dead limbs are falling on the sidewalk and Baldwin Ave. This is a dangerous condition for both student walkers to Nathan Hale, walkers in general and vehicles traveling on Baldwin Ave. There are always remains of fallen branches on the walk and street which are clogging the nearby storm drain. The city should take this hazard down before someone is injured or auto damaged.

  Really jimmyg is that necessary to make such an immature comment. This site is to help the town know whats going on, they can't be out there covering every street. That side walk is used by the whole neighborhood. It allows for a safe walk up and down Highland Ave. for the children in the neighborhood that have to walk to and from school, and those of us that just like to go for a healthy walk or run with or without our dogs, small children (i.e. strollers). We have lived in the neighborhood for years and every winter this spot is covered! Enough is enough they need to clean their side walk off! If everyone did their part then no one would complain...

City of Meriden Plow Issue Archived

7 Sunbright Dr. North Meriden, CT - Meriden

The City of Meriden city crew pushed a massive amount of snow onto the sidewalk that intersects Gravel St. & Sunbright Dr. North. The snow froze turning to ice from the cold temperatures and is now impossible to remove. The homeowner has tried to clean the sidewalk by use of a snow plow and a large snow blower without any success. The beginning of the sidewalk has a 5-6 foot high snow bank. The snow bank was pushed into the homeowner's driveway and thru the shrubs between the driveway and the sidewalk. Damage has probably been caused to the shrubs but cannot be determined until the snow melts. Just today, the homeowner was issued a citation by Meriden Police because the sidewalk is not shoveled. When the homeowner spoke to the police officer (Officer L. Gibbs / ID #380) about the issue, he was very rude and didn't care about the mess that the city workers made on the sidewalk. Now the homeowner has a $90 ticket and still cannot resolve the issue of removing the snow. How is this fair to the homeowner when the city made the mess and didn't bother cleaning it up?

  The tree limb was removed in a couple of days, but the clogged drain and trash remained.
