Speeding Open

66-68 Griswold St Meriden, CT 06450, USA - Meriden

I edited this to hopefully bring it back to the top of everyone's list. This listing has been here for a couple years now and all that has been done is I officer sat out with radar for about 20 mins and ticketed nobody because he parked where everyone could see him. These officers need to park on Breckinridge or Cambridge st and nail these people along with the dirt bike motorcycles and 4--wheelers all I'm sure are unregistered. There was an accident out here about 2 weeks ago or maybe a month due to speed as both cars were speeding. Come on M.P.D get with it please!!!!!!!!

I'm happy to see the meriden police department on griswald street tonight!!! I would just suggest that they hide thier cruiser better, they were sitting on breckenridge but they were sitting right on the corner where they can be seen from either direction and these speeders have time to slow it down, now the officer is sitting in a driveway and as the cars come around the bend from N.colony they see the reflective stripes on the police cruisers and they slow right down....we are actually counting how many people hit thier brakes coming around the curve in the road count so far 15 braking vehicles to 1 ticket so far.....however this is a step in the right direction and I hope that M.P.D. continue thier efforts for eliminating this problem. Thank you M.P.D. for helping to try and keep our neighborhood and our children safer!

sidewalk safety risk!! Open

Hemlock Road Meriden, CT - Meriden

broken up sidewalk along both side of streets, child and elders in neighborhood.Have attemtped to contact city x7years always told, NOT IN THE BUDGET!!!

2010-12-01 · Reported by Anonymous · · Flag Flagged

Larry Kendzior (Guest)

We will check on the condition of the sidewalk and put it on the list with other projects. These are prioritized by the relative need for repair and the amount of travel and use. The City budgets between $500,000 and $750,000 per year for sidewalk repair, but there are many more sidewalks in need of repair than can be funded in any one year. The City also offers a CIDEWALK program by which property owners can undertake the repair of their own sidewalks and have the City pays a percentage of the cost.

What is the purpose of this road?? Open

71-99 Grove Rd Meriden, CT 06451, USA - Meriden

Heavy traffic traveling at high speeds off of Hanover, it's a one way road and really has no purpose. Why is it opened? Children use it as a walkway home from schools.

Larry Kendzior (Guest)

Grove Road has been a public and accepted City Street for many years. I will forward your concern about speeding to the Police Department to take some enforcement action there, particularly at school dismissal hours.

If this road needs to remain open then it should be one way the other way. People fly off of Hanover and use this as a throughway!!

Illegal Parking Open

79-113 Centennial Ave Meriden, CT 06451, USA - Meriden

I would love to see something done about the people who park in the Fire Lane in Centennial Plaza. Everytime I stop in there are cars lined up. Laziness shouldn't come before public safety.

I AGREE THE ILLEGAL PARKING AROUND SCHOOL ZONES IS A HASSLE AND DANGEROUS. I WITNESSED A DEATH OF A FELLOW STUDENT AT LINCOLN MIDDLE SCHOOL IN THE LATE 70'S AND ALL KINDS OF CAUTIONS WERE TAKEN AFTER THAT AND THEN FORGOTTEN IT'S DISGUSTING HOW PARENTS WON'T LET THEIR OVERWEIGHT LAZY KIDS WALK A FEW EXTRA FEET SO THEY CRAM THERE CARS ON TOP OF EACH OTHER. THESE ARE THE SAME PARENTS THAT WOULD GO BESERK AND SUE EVERYBODY IF THERE CHILD WERE INJURED EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THAT MOST OF THESE FIRE ZONES ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE LAW AS WAS STATED IN A RECORD JOURNAL ARTICLE LAST YEAR SO THEY REALLY MEAN NOTHING LEGALLY. THE ONLY VIOLATIONS WOULD BE THE NORMAL PARKING LAWS AND THOSE ARE NOT ENFORCED EITHER. I HAVE WITNESSED AND CALLED THE POLICE ON A POLICE DARE CORVETTE PARKED IN THE FIRE ZONE AT PULASKI ELEM. SCHOOL AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THERE TO TEACH THE CHILDREN ABOUT DRUGS SO IT WAS OK///////// in WALLINGFORD I HAVE SEEN TALKED TO AND CALLED THE POLICE ON 2 DRIVER EDUCATION CARS WAITING TO TEACH CHILDREN HOW TO DRIVE AND OBEY TRAFFIC REGULATIONS WHO WERE PARKED IN FIRE ZONES AT THE HIGH SHOOLS SO LITTLE JOHNY OR SUZIE DON'T HAVE TO WALK TO FAR AND NOTHING WAS DONE???

The street light on Courtney Court is not working. The entire street is in darkness because few neighbors have their lights on. This needs a fix soon before winter storms come in.

Dangerous Storm Drain Open

477 Baldwin Ave. Meriden, CT - Meriden

The storm drain located at the driveway at 477 Baldwin Ave is DANGEROUS. It is about 8 to 10 inches below the roadway surface. I do understand that drains must be lower in order for them to work, however this is a dangerous condition. The road surface was recently paved (poor job) and this has made the situation much worse than it was. I am sure that the storm drain has "sunk" over time and the correct way to solve this is to raise the drain grate before paving. This is a hazard for anyone driving Baldwin ave going East before the entrance to Mattabassett condos. It should be repaired (raised up) before someone looses control of their car/truck.
Check it out Mr. K. you drive by every day on the way home.

Thank you for your prompt reply Mr. Kendzior. I still urge you and anyone else using that portion of Baldwin Ave to use extreme caution in that area. If you hit that storm drain at the posted speed limit you would surely be headed to the repair shop for a front end alignment soon. Thank you again Larry, hope to see you at Hunter's this spring. Have a great day!

We are going to try to put a "riser" in, which would raise the level of the drain 1.5 inches, more or less. Stay tuned.
