  • Orange St New Haven, Connecticut - East Rock
    Cold Spring, not the street, the actual spring, on the trail by the Mill River just NW of its intersection with Orange Street by the bridge, has been clogged with leaves for months. The basin fills up with water, the surrounding ground floods, causing perpetually muddy, slippery conditions and erosion. The leaves need to be removed so the spring can drain. The spot needs hardscaping and renovation, but that is a longer term issue.
  • Farnam Drive New Haven, Connecticut - East Rock
    Tires neatly stacked bt Farnam Drive and the trail near the north east corner of East Rock Road and Farnam Drive. Very scenic.

    English Drive New Haven, Connecticut - East Rock
    A pull-out couch and a big pile of trash were thrown over onto the embankment between the road and the trail (between the river and English Drive, a bit east of Colonial Spring). If I were big and strong I would pull that stuff out and stick it in the middle of the road.

    Cold Spring Street New Haven, Connecticut - East Rock
    The street lamp lights recently installed on my block (bt Livingston and Everit) are too bright, cast too cold a light, and flood too broadly, invading my home. I'm not sure what the Kelvin of these new LEDs are, but please replace them with 3,000 Kelvin max to make them warmer and softer; and install shades to eliminate lateral glare. In the meantime, please suspend further installation.
