Dead tree dropped a branch during the newhallville Block Party on Saturday Open

Newhall St New Haven, CT 06511 - Newhallville

A dead tree that had been previously reported dropped a branch approximately 9 feet long during a block party on MewHall Street on Saturday. The branch crushed two chairs (luckily noone was under the branch). Residents called the police but noone ever showed. This tree is a danger and any resident on the street can tell about it New Hall Street between Division and Thompson Streets

  This tag is placed in the incorrect location. Please move it to the right street.
  
  Is the tree still there?

Speeding Traffic Open

2-70 Willis St New Haven, CT 06511, USA - Newhallville

Many people use this one way street as a cut thru from Dixwell Ave to Sherman Parkway.
This is a heavily populated area with families and children and the vehicles come flying down the 1/2 block almost screeching to a halt at the stop sign. A speed bump would be greatly appreciated.

  I agree. There's no reason to have speeds of more than 10 or 15 miles per hour on this block. 10-15 mile per hour speed zones are a standard within residential areas throughout many other cities around the world. Even towns near New Haven, like Darien and Greenwich, have 15 mile per hour max residential streets. Are the lives of children in Greenwich worth more than the lives of children in New Haven?
  
  Not only would lower speeds reduce noise and make the street more attractive to play on, live on, or buy/invest in a home on, they also can significantly reduce injuries and fatalities (especially among children and the elderly).
  
  We're spending enormous sums of money on other types of programs related to this, even though reducing speeds is the only measure proven to massively reduce injuries and fatalities.
  
  I second the request for speed calming devices and curb extensions (use temporary ones if permanent ones are too expensive to do this year). A chicane might work well on this street as well.
  
  Please call your Alderperson and get more people to vote for your issue!

  Has Alderman Blango been contacted about this issue?
  
  The city's complete streets policy was adopted unanimously this fall, and there are forms within the new manual for requesting changes like these. Contact the city's transportation department and/or newhavensafestreets (at) gmail.com (a local advocacy group) if you need assistance requesting these types of changes to your street.

  Thank you for your suggestions and sorry for the delay in responding.
  I guess this is what happens when busy working people want to complain but don't have the time to follow-up.

Newhallville needs a community center Open

141 Shelton Ave New Haven, CT 06511 - Newhallville

There is no place in Newhallville for kids to congregate and use computers. If someone wants to run a program or have a speaker there is nowhere to meet.

The business center on Shelton would be a great place for a community center.

Im from the Thompson Street Youth Coalition is interested in organizing and running the community center and along with providing office space for the non profit to run there programs, to find out how to help contact me at 203-285-0752 or email me at javaughn_harris@yahoo.com.

  Lou Cox from Channel 1 helped Javaughn connect to Our Place Youth Group on Ivy Street. JJ, would keep us updated as to how that goes.
  
  I have put in a call to Yale as well as an email to Higher One.
  
  Have you thought about using the sub-station again?

  i haven't thought about using the sub station again, but we are looking for a space the can house or office as well as a community room ran by us where we can hold our programs and activities and other community organizations could be more than welcome to use

  Ben shared this with me. Is the idea to have something like the Rose Center http://www.buildings.yale.edu/property.aspx?id=22 closer than a mile away?

- Javaughn (Guest)
  
  Yeah something similar to the Rose Center, but more grassroots and having the teens and youth involved with all the planning of activities that take place at the center.

  This really needs to be cleaned up. I'm a home owner, I take care and pride in the appearance of my residence. This house is an embarressment, a danger, and a place where illegal activities are bred.

Several Potholes forming at base of stands(bleachers) adjacent to broadcast b... Open

Bowen Field New Haven, CT 06511, USA - Newhallville

There are holes forming at the base of the bleachers, that if not repaired can lead to a small child or someone getting their foot trap inside. Holes seems to be getting larger by the day.

  It is so sad that no one else has responded to this issue. I had placed flyers in the area to garner support on this matter. The holes are still there, and to make matters worse they are getting larger. I smell a law suit coming into play if these holes are not taken care of. It is amazing that no one has trip over or broke an ankle! What will it take for the city to do something about this issue? Any suggestions? I can use the help, because I really do care about this. Thanks for listening......

  Shame that no responnse yet from the city. Sorry, I missed the flyers despite walking through on a regular basis.
  
  The holes are getting bigger and children- families walk there!!! It will be a serious injury.

  Thank you for your interest in this matter. Let's hope this issue gets resolved before someone is injured. These holes also become an excellent winter home for the wildlife that hangout in the area of Bowen Field.

Farmington Canal (Edited based on suggestion from community member) Trail Open

New Haven, CT - Newhallville

This portion of the Farmington Canal Trail that goes through the old Winchester Plant is very lonely, especially at night. There should be a police presence around this area. Also is there a way to get rid of the old Winchester buildings. They're falling apart and they are a big eyesore.

  Trail lighting is essential if you want people to use this at night.

  One of the buildings has been torn down and is currently being replaced by a parking structure. They have installed blue lights that have a direct line to the police. Does that resolve this issue?

  Additional trail lighting and additional police presence would resolve this issue.
