Dangerous condition at cross street Open

29 Elmfield Street West Hartford, CT - West Hartford

The Dept of Public works continuously plows down Grove Street right onto the sidewalk in front of my house creating a hazard not only for myself and my family but anyone driving on Elmfield street. On numerous occasions the West Hartford Police Dept and Dept of Public works have been contacted and advised of this dangerous condition. However there has been no resolution. The pile of snow is approximately 8 - 9 feet high blocking the view for both us and drivers on Elmfield street. Please assist in resolving this matter before someone gets killed. Thank you.

down wire Archived

Woodlawn St West Hartford, CT - West Hartford

There is a wire down on the corner that has been there for a long time. It isn't active but has been hanging down for months, it reaches to the sidewalk and is not safe to have there on the corner. Kids could end up playing with it and getting hurt. It needs to be removed

sidewalk obstructions, etc, non ADA Open

1157 New Britain Avenue west hartford, CT - West Hartford

Recent road modifications have placed Ped Crossing Lights in the middle of the sidewalks in several locations on New Britain Ave in Elmwood with insufficent space for safe passage by ADA users. Sidewalk cross slopes exceed the ADA recommendations of <3%, insufficient landings at the top of curb ramps, signals obstruct ramps, ramps on apex of corners do not provide safe landing on the street due to curb radius. Numerous deficiencies noted from Mayflower to Newington Rd on New Britain Avenue. Poor design and construction elements.

  Couldn't agree more. The project was touted as an improvement to pedestrian safety and the DOT cited an island of refuge (across from Puritan Furniture) and reducing the width of the Quaker La intersection as proof. However they widened the street over the length of the project increasing the total exposure to anyone trying to cross the street even at the designated cross walks. The street has more in common with the Silas Deane Hwy than the main road thru a small community, effectively destroying the community center. It will be to Elmwood what the Silas Deane did to the town of Rocky Hill. One could speculate that the redesign was based on a plan to provide an alternative route (to as many vehicles possible) to I-84 traffic during the upcoming renovation in Hartford. Note: I also believe the project is listed for expenditure / accounting purposes as an improvement project for Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety, although most of the money was spent just to move the same sidewalk back from the old curb line.

  I don't believe that anyone is safe down in Elmwood Center, whether it would be pedestrian or motorist. I have taken to going around this total disaster as are many residents and that will be hurting the business in Elmwood. Then, to add to all of this is the extensive traffic that is going through to get to the Stop & Shop on Newington Rd, or using the side streets so now we can barely get out of our driveways and streets. I will say this much, you would never see this mess up in West Hartford Center around Blue Back nor any other business street. It's a shame that they took so long and the inconvenience has been awful. I'm afraid that we'll have some serious accidents on NBA...The sidewalks are awful...shoddy work..

  You are preaching to the choir. You may not have any idea of what is to come..... Amtrak Station and 200 car parking planned for the Cashway Lumber site in Newington. West Hill Automotive and four lots on the south side of Newington Road destined for apartments / condos as is the Merrow Machine property and the old steel fabrication facility site on Day St in Newington. Hundreds of new rental / condo residences. All part of a statewide push for "Transit Oriented Development" and to make the busway a viable entity.

  I know, I think we are both the choir..I do know what is coming with that Amtrak station coming to this area...we have not seen anything yet~! I shudder at the thought. This area of town is getting hammered. I can't even bear the thought of the proposed new apartment building being put in on Newington Rd. A nightmare ~~! Too much for one area to handle...

STREET FROM BALLY'S TO CVS Archived

New Britain Ave West Hartford, CT - West Hartford

Filled with pot holes. They are fixing the sidewalks but are neglecting the street. My car has suffered damage. Who do I contact to get it fixed since it was damaged by the road?

Huge dying tree overhanging Tunxis & Wood Pond Roads Archived

242 Tunxis Rd West Hartford, CT 06107 - West Hartford

Huge, dying tree on NW side of Tunxis Road. Directly across from Wood Pond Road. It's the one that's tilted at a 45 degree angle and hangs completely over the intersection and also a house. Several extra-large, rotted limbs have fallen off in the last few years. More than half the trunk has lost all of its bark. It's time to take it down before it falls on its own and takes one or more lives with it! Not to mention destroying the sidewalk, roadside, utility poles, & power lines too. I believe that the Buena Vista Golf Course owns the tree. It may be the town's responsibility to remove it though, because the sidewalk detours around it only inches away.

  Your town probably has a tree warden. Call the town hall and ask. Provided the tree is on the side of the sidewalk closest to the road it is more than likely the responsibility of the town.

  From what I understand if the owner knows the tree is dying and it falls he/she are responsible for all damages.

Inadeguate snow removal and lack of enforcement of shoveling ordinances Archived

Local businesses and residents along stretch from Girard Avenue to Sigourney Street have not shoveled or treated their sidewalks forcing people to have to walk in the streets. Complaints made to City of Hartford have not been acknowledged or answered.

Sidewalk Blocked by Several Overgrown Trees/Shrubs for years Archived

32 Red Top Dr West Hartford, CT 06110 - West Hartford

Between #32 and #40, the sidewalk is completely blocked, as is most of the grass strip next to the road. Several trees & shrubs have grown wild and unchecked for years! Mostly evergreens. I'm short & I still have to walk in the road to get around these beasts. This is a school zone!! Won't something be done before a gradeschool-walker gets hit by a car?!!
