    (I tried posting a comment on the other complaint about this issue, but my comment was blocked.)

    The area around G Mart, especially around the corner on Peck, has always been known for drugs and prostitution, but it's getting worse. I drive by this corner every day around 7:20 a.m. to bring my son to school, and every morning we see open drug transactions, prostitution, and junkies stumbling around. It's a disgusting, depressing sight first thing in the morning, and yet I've never seen any police presence here. What gives?

  • 41 Downing St New Haven, CT, 06513, USA - Chatham Square
    3 more tires dumped on Downing Street last night (also a bunch on Front Street in front of the grey condos).
  • 260 Middletown Ave New Haven, CT, 06513, USA - Cedar Hill
    This place is a mess, and not because it's a dump! Lines of cars and trucks that you have no idea if you're supposed to wait in, and then no way to exit if you figure out that you're not supposed to be in that one, nothing to mark what type of waste goes where (oh, except the sign that says "yard waste" where you're not supposed to put yard waste), and then the employees yell at you if you inevitably mess up BECAUSE THEY DON'T MAKE IT CLEAR!
    The Transfer Station needs to make it easier for those of us who don't visit every day. PLEASE POST SIGNS.

  • Forbes Ave & Townsend Ave East Haven, CT, 06512, USA - Annex
    The "No turn on red" sign is so far in advance of the intersection that cars stopped at the red light don't see it -- and they routinely turn right on red.

    376 St Ronan St New Haven, CT, 06511, USA - Prospect Hill
    Saint Ronan Street between Canner and Highland is a mess of potholes and rubble torn up by the snowplows. The photo I posted is just one of the many areas that need immediate attention.

  • 40 Downing St. New Haven Connecticut - Chatham Square

    This issue was closed by LCI and archived, so I'm starting it as a new issue... However, it's not new! The former residents of 40 Downing covered the street and sidewalk surrounding that address with graffiti, including a graffiti mural. The mural was partially covered over (not by the city), but it's once again visible and still needs to be dealt with in a permanent fashion. Thanks!

    (FYI, the attached image is from 3/30/17, taken just after a masked guy on a dirt bike pulled up to take selfies by the mural -- in other words, this mural is still attracting folks who aren't exactly contributing positively to the neighborhood.)

    492 Blatchley Avenue New Haven, Connecticut - Fair Haven
    Southbound side of Blatchley Avenue just before and at Peck Street has multiple potholes that need patching. There have been crashes at this intersection in the past -- drivers should be focusing on traffic, not on avoiding potholes.
  • Ogden Street New Haven, CT - Prospect Hill
    There are several potholes along Ogden Street, from Whitney Avenue to Prospect Street -- there's a particularly deep one between Reservoir Street and Prospect, on the north side of the street.
