311 East Street New Haven, Connecticut -
Mill River
I am tired of pedestrians running out into oncoming traffic during the morning commute. It is unclear to me whether these are patrons of the New Era Rehabilitation Clinic or if they are just wandering the area, but at least a few times each week, people stand in the middle of the road talking or decide to cross in the middle of the street (aka jaywalk) as oncoming traffic is picking up speed. If you honk, they slow down or ignore you and have no regard for those of us driving to work. We have no choice but to not hit them. I noticed that this issue cleared up when there was construction going on in the area that required an on-duty police officer to be present for traffic. Bringing one back to regulate pedestrian behavior would be appreciated.
