Crosswalks need new flashing solar signals Open

1250 Ella Grasso Boulevard New Haven, CT - West River

Kudos, kudos and more kudos to whomever at the NHDOT brought these new solar-powered flashing crosswalk signals to New Haven. I used one today at 400 Blake and drivers actually stopped!!! PLEASE INSTALL AS MANY OF THESE AS POSSIBLE ON ELLA GRASSO BOULEVARD CROSSWALKS. This street is notorious for a complete lack of cooperation on the part of drivers, especially in the Edgewood and Beaver Hill sections. Again - excellent work, and please let us see more of these all over the city.

  Are there plans to install more of these at other crosswalks in New Haven?

No way for pedestrians to cross from main bus stop to the nation's 4th larges... Open

1420 Chapel Street New Haven, CT 06511, USA - Dwight

Most patients and visitors get off the bus at the corner of chapel and beers, in front of Yale New Haven Hospital (HSR Campus) main entrance. This campus serves thousands of people per day. There is no crosswalk and people getting off the bus have to cross a street that's busy with traffic weaving across lanes at 45 miles per hour.

Please add immediately:
1. Improved bus stop with better ramps, shelter, and lighting
2. Traffic calming and a lit crosswalk to get from the bus to the hospital
3. Buffered bike lane to help narrow street and reduce speeds.

Thank you.

  Here is an image that illustrates.
  
  "1" represents the bus stop, on the right hand side of the street, going westbound on Chapel Streets. This is one of the city's busiest bus routes and a common way for people to access the hospital.
  
  "2" shows where there is no crosswalk, at the corner of Chapel and Beers. The nearest crosswalk is quite far, in a neighborhood that is known for having public safety issues at night.
  
  "3" shows the main entrance to the hospital. It's almost directly across from the bus stop.
  
  Due to these issues, observations show that nearly 100% of users cross the street where there is no crosswalk, putting themselves at risk of being hit by a speeding truck or car. Crossing Chapel Street involves crossing a one-way, two-lane road with high speed traffic.
  
  Please correct this issue immediately.

  Streeview, looking up Chapel. The hospital's main bus stop is on right hand side, and the main entrance about 100 feet up on the left.

  Many of the people getting off the bus here are in wheelchairs. They have a tough time crossing given there's no infrastructure.

Build the West River Greenway trail. Open

1013-1041 Ella T Grasso Blvd New Haven, CT 06519, USA - West River

I bicycle pretty much anywhere, but I have to admit that I feel pretty shook up whenever I ride on Boulevard. Paving a trail in West River Memorial Park alongside the road, combined with crosswalk improvements, would both make Boulevard a complete street and add significantly to New Haven’s greenway trail network.

  A W. River Greenway would be awesome to have. Even though I love spending time in every neighborhood, I typically avoid large sections of the city simply because they just are not pleasant to get to on the existing infrastructure.
