    This is regarding the curb at the Bus Stop near the corner of Fitch and Wintergreen (Even side of the street). Can a path be cleared through the snow at the curb here? It'll make boarding the bus easier and safer.

    It's very hard to see the lane and street markings on this road in low visibility conditions (night time, rain, fog, etc). You can't tell what lane you're in or going to. The street really needs a new coat of reflective paint for its street markings or some other remedy.

    This pertains to the Exit 50 entrance ramp onto I-95 Southbound. Before the reconfiguration, the entrance ramp lane merged with the rightmost lane on I-95. But now, the entrance ramp lane doesn't merge with the rightmost lane anymore, it continues as its own independent lane.

    This new lane continues for a very short distance before it ends abruptly as the whole highway starts to curve to the right. This new lane ends at the point where the highway starts to curve.

    I almost got sandwiched between a truck and the side of the bridge because I wasn't expecting my lane to just end abruptly like that. I had to stomp on my brake and pray I had enough distance for the truck to pass me, so I can get into its lane before mine finished ending.

    There's no sign indicating that the lane ends. Since the highway curves when the lane ends, its hard to see and anticipate that the lane ends. And its especially jarring since the lane used to simply merge with the right hand I-95 lane, instead of ending into it.

    Is this a mistake? I say that because I went onto the i95newhaven.com website and watched the video of the entrance ramp. The video has the entrance ramp merging onto the rightmost I-95 lane post reconfiguration, instead of what it does now.

    276 Winthrop Ave New Haven, CT - West River

    The traffic signal at the intersection of Winthrop Av and Derby Av, and its sister signal at Winthrop and Chapel, are too fast. The traffic phase, from when the light turns green to when it turns red again is not fast enough to drive through both signals, if you're driving down Winthrop Av.

    Also, with the light at Winthrop and Derby: If you're stopped at the light on Winthrop Av, it lasts twice as long because the traffic light doesn't turn green like it should. The light is red on both sides of the street, before the Derby Av side of the light turns green again.

    Hope this description is helpful
