Elm Street Cycle Track? Acknowledged

238 Elm St New Haven, CT - Downtown

Last year, in their Downtown Bicycle and Pedestrian Gap Analysis (http://www.cityofnewhaven.com/TrafficParking/pdfs/GapAnalysis2009.pdf), Nelson\\Nygaard Consultants recommended a physically separated bike lane—or cycle track—on Elm Street. How would you design such a facility? View a 3D mock-up of two potential designs here and offer your suggestions. Don't like it? Download Google SketchUp to your computer here: http://sketchup.google.com/ and then download my drawings here: http://www.box.net/shared/z8e1db4ssq and give it your best shot.

For cycle track design guidelines and best practices, have a look at this design guide from the National Association of City Transportation Officials: http://nacto.org/cities-for-cycling/design-guide/cycle-tracks/
and this report from bicycle-oriented transportation planning consultants at Alta Planning: http://www.altaplanning.com/cycle+tracks.aspx

Deafening loud motorcycles need to be stopped on Upper State Street Open

972 State St New Haven, CT 06511, USA - Bishop-Hine

JP Demspeys is attracting motorcycles to the neighborhood that make it unliveable. This needs to stop and we need the police's help. There are three bike parked out front right now and I am waiting for an officer but I have not had luck w the police's help in the past.

We need traffic stops for decibel meters on State Street.

Court Street Bridge Dark Archived

82 Court St New Haven, CT 06511 - Wooster Square

The bridge on Court Street between State and Artizan is unbelievably dark. The same bridge on Chapel has 2 lights and yet far more people travel via Court from downtown to get home to Wooster Square. Please fix!

Illegal use of dirt bikes and atvs!! Archived

374 East St New Haven, CT 06511 - Mill River

On my way home from work yesterday I came across this!

5 off road (2 dirt bikes and 3 quads) barreling down East Street at top speed.
They blew through the light, causing oncoming traffic to screech to a stop as they continued to tear down the street at top speed.

I managed to take a picture as fast as I could.
What can be done about this???

Extremely dangerous RR-street crossing for cyclists Acknowledged

Forbes Ave New Haven, CT 00 - Annex

Be very careful crossing the tracks on your bike. Go slow and cross perpendicular to the rails. Signage is desperately needed. See http://groups.yahoo.com/group/elmcitycycling/message/8023

Continuous & Excessive Speeding in front of Preschool Open

141-199 Highland St New Haven, CT 06511, USA - Prospect Hill

Speeding on Highland Street has created an extremely unsafe situation, especially at pick-up and drop-off times at a local preschool here. Yesterday, at about 4:30 PM, a parent's car door was damaged by a speeding car (which did not stop). Thankfully, neither the parent NOR the child was injured. However, there are young children getting in and out of cars, being dropped off by caregivers on foot and by bike, and being escorted across the street here.

Please, we need this speeding curtailed and traffic calming measures implemented before a tragic incident occurs here.

UPDATE: The city and the school now are working together on this-- but in good conscience, we cannot close the issue since it has yet to be fixed.

MOTORCYCLES Open

New Haven - Dixwell

Loud motorcyles, especially during Summer months, constantly disturb and harass citizens of New Haven by operating with illegal and potentially harmful exhaust systems. Why doesn't the NHPD or the Dept. Of Health do anything about this?
New York is working on legislation:

Low Level Street Lighting Needed On Upper State Street Open

Humphrey St New Haven, CT - SOHU

We have a beautiful tree canopy on Upper State Street but unfortunately it makes the busy restaurant corridor very dark at night.

It would be really excellent to have a low level street lighting like other commercial districts in the City.
