972 State St New Haven, CT 06511, USA - Bishop-HineJP 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.

Humphrey St New Haven, CT - SOHUWe 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.

219 267 Edwards St New Haven, CT 06511, USA - Bishop-Hinelet me start off by saying i am in no way opening this issue to debate whether abortion should be legal or not, so please do not use this space to preach one way or the other.
although i personally find the protesters at planned parenthood (and now often by the peabody museum) very offensive, i am reporting this issue on the basis of what is legally their right and what is not.
when i protested the start of the iraq war, the group i was with was told by an officer that we are allowed to hold a sign. but that since we do not own the property we were standing on, we could not affix signs to posts, or lean them on trees, or lay them on the ground, etc.
this is what the protesters are doing on edwards street and sometimes whitney. they spread at least ten posters on property that they do not own.
i'd like some clarification on what their rights are, and if we can ask them to tone down their presence if they are not legally allowed to take over the block.

Loud Motorcycles ArchivedHumphrey Street Between State And Orange. - SOHU
Loud motorcycles frequently speed down Humphrey Street, breaking both the speed limits and the municipal noise ordinance. Some are coming from the bars on State Street/Humphrey Street. Others are getting off I-91 and speed down Humphrey on their way downtown.

103 Bishop St New Haven, CT 06511 - Bishop-Hine
I often see, or hear, the big blue and white Yale school bus flying up Bishop Street with the pedal to the medal. The bus screams by, both in speed and sound, revving its engine flying up to Orange Street as if it was heading to YNHH with someone in labor. If a child or person who'd been drinking too much happened to wander into the road, ferget it! Two points for that driver. I tried to tell a cop who was parked on Bishop when I got home tonight, but no one was in the cruiser at the time. I think NHPD oughta park themselves with a speed detector and ticket whoever's racing up and down our streets.

Whitney Between Edwards And Trumbull - Bishop-HineFedEx Ground Truck (didn't get lic.) followed cyclist closely from the light at Edwards then passed the cyclist at an unsafe distance. The truck and cyclist stopped at the red light at Bishop at 8:55 a.m. on 9/24. The truck driver proceeded to shout obscenities and threaten the cyclist. The driver said,"There's no bike way here, show me where there's a bike way on this street." He also told the cyclist, "@#$% right you don't have a right on the road with all this traffic." The driver also attempted to pull his truck over in a driveway just before Trumbull but was prevented by traffic he pulled the truck over immediately after Trumbull, but the cyclist wisely turned up Trumbull and avoided further confrontation.

Crosswalk needed Archived215 Edwards St New Haven, CT 06511 - Bishop-HineThis intersection needs a crosswalk over Edwards Street- apparently one existed here up to about a decade or so ago, when the street was repaved.

Orange St And Bishop St Intersection New Haven, CT 06511, USA - Bishop-Hine
It's very hard to see whether or not cars are coming up and down Orange St when trying to cross from one side of Bishop to the other. Is there potential to have a traffic light put here?

Nica's Supply Trucks Blocking Traffic Acknowledged615 Orange St New Haven, CT - Bishop-HineNica's supply trucks are regularly blocking Bishop Street. They either park across a lane of traffic (see picture - this truck is parked!) or they park so close to the corner that it is nearly impossible to pull out onto Orange st. without endangering yourself.

36 Bishop St New Haven, CT 06511, USA - Bishop-Hine
There is an owner of a black lab who has been walking his dog without a leash. Every day this dog defecates on our newly landscaped property. I have asked this gentleman to please either pick up after his dog or please walk him on a leash. I do not even care if the dog defecates on the lawn, but the owner is not picking it up; that is the problem. I do not consider this issue closed and would like a full resolution to it.
Now, this is the last time I will be posting anything and this is my last warning. Ben, I have already contacted the police, and I need to be able to give them the name and address of this dog owner. How can I get that from you? Or can I give you my contact at the police station?
