Long Wharf -- New Haven Land Trust

Those food trucks on Long Wharf are destroying the beauty of the area. In addition to the trash that both the trucks leave around (overfilled trashbins, overflowing boxes next to the bins, the smell of grease) and the customers (trash all over the ground, on the picnic tables, and sadly on the memorials) are leaving around, it is dangerous for drivers and pedestrians. People are double parking in the road, they run out between and in front of cars, and speed around. I have seen rats and the number of seagulls and crows the mess is creating is a health hazard.

When is the storm damaged asphalt walkway along Long Wharf Drive going to be fixed? Needs pepair in about 4 places. It's been damaged now for about 9 months. Any help in expediting this work would be greatly appreciated.

NO POLICE PRESENCE -NEVER EVEN SEE OUR DISTRICT MANAGER LT. STREETO

The "Vision Trail" pathway and sidewalk along the waterfront is caved in and impassable. There is a gravel path along some of it as a partial replacement, but it doesn't go all the way. Needs to be fixed, both for walkers and people on bikes.

One of the marble lighting fixtures that illuminates the Vietnam War memorial has been smashed in. The top is pushed in and the sides are broken.

Large numbers of rats are living underneath the rocks along Long Wharf. They are quite aggressive. Discouraging to people who want to sit on the rocks and enjoy the park.

Never locked at sundown...people park over there in the dark to do drug deals and other inappropriate behaviors based on the used products found the next day when walking through park - even on the playground equipment

Hurricane debris never picked up is leading to illegal dumping on the sidewalk.

The green awning on the visitor center was destroyed during Hurricane Sandy. So were the walkways in Long Wharf park. It's been a year and a half...this is what people see of New Haven on their way through on I 95. Any plans to fix this awning and walkways? (The park is also cluttered with litter...but that seems true of the whole city)

The New Haven Land Trust will hold a clean up and nature walk at its preserve at Long Wharf SaturdayJune 7 statring at 9 a.m.

Do you use our Long Wharf Nature Preserve? How do you use it? Do you have suggestions on how we can improve the preserve? Thanks for your input!
