mistakenly assumed tuesday morning the city had hauled away the wreck.in fact,returning home tuesday evening via sherman parkway i saw the wreck dumped on the southbound side of sherman near west division.the trailer supporting the wreck is gone.there is an orange sticker attached from the new haven department of police services.hopefully the wreck will be hauled to the junkyard/boatyard/landfill in the next 24-48 hours.thnx.

riding home wednesday evening on sherman parkway the wreck was gone.most likely hauled away by the city of new haven,the public employees concerned deserve praise & gratitude 4 (finally!) ridding the neighborhood of this hazard.thnx!

Judging from the two assaults I've read about, I would say that the lack of safety is more than a perception... My experience was during the daytime (as stated in my post). The fence separating the trail from businesses, on the Hamden section of the trail seems pointless (I saw a young couple pushing a shopping cart full of groceries - which makes sense to me) - otherwise it feels to me like I'm riding in a cattle chute... Encouraging businesses to face (or acknowledge) the trail and adjacent streets, or having paved paths to some of the strip malls might be a welcome respite from the hamster tunnel effect, open the trail up, and make it less isolated and more functional. Regular maintenance will be necessary, otherwise bad pavement and flat tires will keep people away.

If the graffiti is still there or has reappeared, this ticket should be reopened. Just click reopen at the top and provide the approximate location, if known.
