The new Union St Dog Park will be finished within weeks and safety in the area has become Issue #1. This location will soon to be trafficked by residents from Wooster Square, 360 State, Downtown and beyond but when the sun sets it is VERY DARK. Let's get lights up on the poles across the street so that neighbors are safe and police can identify any dangerous or unlawful activity at night. The sun will set by 5p only 6 weeks after the park opens. Let's get this done!

House on corner of Greene and Chestnut is in foreclosure. Electricity is ON in the evening & through the night on the third floor.
Window screen on second floor is thrown on the roof and a wire/cord or rope is hanging out the window. *** Coincidentally there has also been a rash of burglaries in the neighborhood, since the lights have been on.

11:30 pm 6/23/11 a Silver ford f150 crashed into the retaining wall in front of the Quinnipiac school. The driver got out of the car, falling over drunk then tried to start the truck to drive away. The truck was so damaged it would not start, although he kept trying until the police arrived. 6-10 nieghbors watched in awe as they let the man go home with his friend. No cuffs, no charges?

A similar event happend 50ft from the same location a few months ago. The driver crashed into a telephone pole and was let go. No cuffs, no charges?

Is drunk driving legal in New Haven now?

The Court St bridge over the railroad tracks has no streetlights, and is very dark and can be treacherous, especially in winter when the road surface and sidewalks ice up. Maybe a light could be affixed to the bridge?

Copied email to Enginnering Dept, not yet answered:

Dear Sir,

First, I apologize if yours is not the right department for this issue. I would appreciate it if you would forward it to the appropriate department.

This morning I was walking my dog on College Ave between Grove and Trumbull, when the dog suddenly cried out in pain and jumped into the street. He would not go back on the sidewalk, and so we crossed the street, but he was unwilling to step on the sidewalk at all, and panted in fear all the way home.

The exact same thing happened last year on two separate occasions with my previous dog, who died this summer. At that time I suspected a voltage leak into the damp sidewalk and called the power company, but never got a response. The fact that this happened again with a different dog suggests that there is indeed a voltage leak.

The area of the sidewalk where this happened is on College Ave between Grove and Trumbull, between the 6th and 7th streetlight, on the cemetery side of the street.

I would appreciate it if you could keep me updated,

Ui - u need to remove the poles that r starting to fall from their supports on state St immediately! See photo. This has been like this for 1 year.

Well, it used to be a can of spray paint, but now they're moving on up! Street gang calling themselves Blvd Boyz, having raked in enough money from drug and hooker sales, have designed and purchased their very own posters, and now they are plastering them all over. The telephone pole at this intersection is covered halfway up (must have been a short gang member) with their territorial pissings. I mean...postings.
