    316 Ellm Street New Haven, CT - Dwight
    If you want to turn right to turn onto Park St as Whalley Ave comes into Elm Street, the lights are not well coordinated. You will get a green light on Whalley but as you make that turn, you will often have to stop at the Elm Street light. The traffic frequently gets backed up on Whalley Ave so that cars that are in that right hand lane can't go forward (it is a right turn lane as well as a going straight lane). The timing needs to be longer at the light at Elm to have a smooth flow of traffic. Now the light will turn green on Whalley and you can't move because that Elm St light is red. Thanks!
  • 170 Whitney Ave Corner Sachem St New Haven, CT - Yale University Campus
    At the Peabody Museum, there is wheelchair parking near the corners of Sachem and Whitney. The closest curb cuts are on both sides of the street - right where traffic is turning - which is very dangerous!!..the next closest is halfway up Sachem St - across from Hillhouse Ave. It is the walkway across Sachem St. In order to park your car there to pick up the wheelchair person, you're parking in the driving lane. Recently we were holding up both the city bus and a school bus. It would be good if a city official sat in a wheelchair to see how difficult it is to come down the ramp from the Peabody to try to get to a safe place to get into a car. A solution might be to have long curb cuts along each of the designated wheelchair parking spots. And, or, a curb cut at a safer place along Sachem St. The current cut across from Hillhouse Ave is really the walking line across Sachem. That part of the street also has a center post to say you must stop for pedestrians so cars can't get by if a car picking up a passenger. Thank you for investigating.
