needless red light Open

Ella T Grasso Blvd New Haven, Connecticut - West River

The traffic going south on Ella T Grasso Blvd at this intersection has a red light from time to time. Since it is illegal for anyone to turn into the lanes of people going straight, I'm not sure why these lights were even installed.

Yellow Line needs restriping Archived

1129 Ella T Grasso Blvd New Haven, CT 00 - West River

There is a double yellow line on Grasso blvd and one side of that line is almost invisible and traffic coming toward Legion Ave is seeing the yellow line meant for vehicles on the other side of the road. This causes cars to come much closer to eachother than traffic engineers intended and when the second yellow line becomes visible, people jerk their car back into their lane. I've seen it.

  The white line also needs re-striping at this intersection and as of 8/25/08, this issue is still outstanding.

  There are two double yellow lines that used to come all the way down to the intersection of 34 and the Blvd and made a loop approx 6' wide at the intersection, (I assume it was put in to make more space between north and south bound traffic at the intersection)so people turning right onto blvd from 34 east-bound could immediately see the double yellow line. Now the two double lines no longer have a loop and the south bound double yellow line starts approx 100 yards down the road and I've seen many cars following the far left line before the other yellow line starts and then people jerk their car right to get into the proper lane.

Traffic signal too fast and works inconsistently Acknowledged

276 Winthrop Ave New Haven, CT - West River

The traffic signal at the intersection of Winthrop Av and Derby Av, and its sister signal at Winthrop and Chapel, are too fast. The traffic phase, from when the light turns green to when it turns red again is not fast enough to drive through both signals, if you're driving down Winthrop Av.

Also, with the light at Winthrop and Derby: If you're stopped at the light on Winthrop Av, it lasts twice as long because the traffic light doesn't turn green like it should. The light is red on both sides of the street, before the Derby Av side of the light turns green again.

Hope this description is helpful

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.

Light needs timed better with light at EllaTGrasso

When light from Davenport at Columbus changes green, we cant proceed usually because light on Columbus at EllaTGrasso is still red. It only takes 6 cars to back up to Davenport. Then light at Davenport turns red when light on Columbus turns green. Traffic stands still unless people turn on red.

Smooth out threshold between street and bridge Archived

1655 1799 Chapel St New Haven, CT 06511, USA - West River

It would be a great help if some asphalt could be poured into the gap to smooth out the transition between the road and the bridge across Edgewood river on Chapel.

Currently, there is a dip in the road as it meets the bridge. From the bottom of that dip to the top surface of the bridge is about a 4 inch rise, which is very hard for bicyclists or any vehicle less than 3000 pounds.

Going across it, some stuff I was carrying bounced out and sprawled across the road. Luckily there wasn't traffic as it could have caused an accident.

Incorrect Speed Posted Archived

787 Ella T Grasso Blvd New Haven, CT 06511 - West River

Speeding is indeed a problem on this deadly strip however the speed posted on the radar sign shows 25 when it should be 35. If the speed is truly 25 then MUCH more enforcement is needed. However, the design of the street makes it almost impossible to maintain slow speeds. Traffic calming measures are needed.

Gap in Bike Route: West River Memorial Park Archived

Ella T Grass Blvd And Boston Post Rd New Haven, CT - West River

Bicycling along Marginal Drive is a great way to enjoy the West River Memorial Park, but it is practically impossible to get there from the south. A bike path connecting Marginal Dr to the Davenport Ave Bike Route would solve this problem. The land is already publicly owned. The difficult thing will just be to find space on the bridge over the West River. The sidewalk might be wide enough to support two-way bicycle traffic, but I’m not sure.

  This is a major intersection with different types of traffic movements that require accommodation, including pedestrian movements, within 1 traffic cycle. It is possible to push the pedestrian signal and observe 3 or more phases before the pedestrian signal engages. If you observed a different scenario, please let us know and we will make sure to alert a traffic signal crew to inspect this intersection. Thanks for the post.

  New Haven Coalition to Stop Illegal Traffic
  
  The New Haven Coalition to STOP ILLEGAL TRAFFIC (SIT) on our streets had its second meeting on Sept. 18. Alderman Justin Elicker reported that since our meeting last month, the city has started a concerted effort to address the issue of dangerous and illegal use of dirt bikes, all terrain vehicles, and other illegal motorized vehicles on our streets. Currently, police do not have the authority to seize and hold illegally operated motorized bikes and ATVs. Therefore, violators can reclaim impounded vehicles shortly after being caught by paying a small fine to the towing company.
  On September 18, 2012, SIT members decided that the quickest way to make our streets safer is to rally the community in support empowering the city to take more aggressive actions against illegally operated dirt bikes and ATVs.
  
  What the city is doing:
  1. The Corporation Counsel (the lawyer for the city) has been directed to explore the legality of the city taking possession of non-registered dirt bikes, atvs, etc. that have been operated illegally and destroying them. Other enforcement ordinances are also being explored.
  2. The City is in conversation with state legislators about state-level action.
  
  What Coalition members and supporters are being asked to do:
  a. Call the Office of the Mayor (203)946-8200 and tell the Mayor that you are concerned about this issue and that you want results by next summer 2013.
  or
  b. Write to the Mayor at MayorDestefano@newhavenct.net. You may want to include the following points:
  “I am a concerned citizen who is frustrated by the increase in use of illegally operated dirt bikes and ATVs on New Haven streets, inside New Haven Parks, and near playgrounds and other recreation areas. It is my understanding that the NHPD has a long standing no-chase policy, which I agree with given the chances that a chase could result in injury of an innocent bystander. However, more needs to be done. I support the city’s effort to create policies that will eliminate the reckless behavior before someone else is killed. We’ve had many close calls already in 2012; a little girl was hit by a dirt biker while waiting at a bus stop with her dad, and a dirt biker himself suffered life-threatening injuries after losing control of an unregistered illegally operated dirt bike. Please, do what is necessary. You have my support!"

It's an opportunity for people to express their concerns about the dirt bike issue and for the City to talk about what we plan on doing. Could you all help get the word out?"

Do we really need a stop light here? Acknowledged

Day And Chapel New Haven, CT - West River

Day is a one way street with minimal traffic. Does this intersection really need a stop light? Placing lights in unnecessary places is but one of the reasons that road rage in this city is so high. This intersection is one place where cross traffic can cross without a light. Please consider removing the light and inserting a stop sign on Day instead.

  The light is slow for traffic on Day St, but it is necessary. That is a blind turn so removing it would lead to an accident. The light just needs to allow traffic on Day St to turn more often...I'll sit there for a good 2-3 minutes before it turns green!

  If its a pedestrian crossing, why does it change and make the Chapel traffic stop when
  (a) there are no pedestrians in sight
  (b) there is no oncoming traffic
  
  Two blocks down there is a stoplight at the intersection of Chapel and Orchard, where the majority of pedestrians cross the street and a light for cars, bikes, and pedestrians is warranted.
  
  Regarding the intersection at Day, which again is a one way local street with minimal housing and traffic, I think its appropriate to add that it IS possible to have a pedestrian crossing without a traffic light. In fact, there are several around town and further down on Chapel that do so without incident. For those, the pavement is adequately painted and there are center signs reminding drivers that it is the law to stop for pedestrians.
  
  In regard to businesses, there are two vacant buildings and a park on the north side of the street.
  
  2012-03-21 · Flag Flagged

  (a) because a pedestrian pushed the button but walked anyway without waiting for the ped signal
  (b) see above
  
  Of course it's possible to have an unsignalized crosswalk but it's more likely to have vehicles stop for pedestrians if the crosswalk is signalized.
  
  Additionally, if vehicles do not need to stop, there is a greater likelihood that speeds will increase if there is no signal to stop. I would imagine that if this signal was removed, people would then be upset about increased speeds on this segment of Chapel.

  Great idea. This intersection is very dangerous, in large part because when cars stop in the traffic lane to make a left turn, the cars behind them zoom around on the right. A left-turn lane and signal would fix that.

Streetlight Out Archived

50 Derby Ave. New Haven, CT - West River

The streetlight outside my home has been malfunctioning for months. It flickers off and on constantly. Since there is a lot of traffic (both from pedestrians and drivers), the light not working properly poses a safety concern. I hope UI will come out and fix it soon.

  Thanks for the info eddie. Just a reminder that the point of SCF is to have a one-stop reporting tool and not need to memorize or store all the different numbers and web pages for each type of issue.

  True, but it's also useful to know who's responsible for what. If, for some reason, the issue does not get fixed, it's helpful to know whom to contact to escalate it.

Tree Branch blocking the traffic light at Orchard & Chapel Sts. Archived

Chapel & Orchard Sts. - West River

I have called the Public Works Dept in New Haven 3 times already regarding the tree branch blocking the traffic light at this intersection. My son and I both drive this road every day coming from SCSU and we have come close to accidents at this intersection due to not being able to see the traffic light. It is extemely dangerous especially with the ambulances and emergency vehicles coming down Chapel Street towards HSR. Please have these branches cut down so drivers are able to see the traffic light and not have accidents. How many times do I have to call the PW dept to have this corrected. Are they waiting for an accident to happen? I am ready to call DeStefano's office!!!!!!! Please cut these branches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Again! Nothing is ever done until there is a serious accident. I cannot believe that even the emergency departments have not complained about this issue!! How dangerous this is. All the city needs to do is trim a branch!! How hard is that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Which light? I mean which direction are you traveling? I cross that intersection every day also but don't recall having an issue seeing the light. Perhaps I'm going the wrong way.

  Kevin, it is at the intersection of Chapel & Orchard Streets. Papa & Sons is on your left and you can see Cronin's Crossing walkway in front of you. The traffic light is covered by the tree branches and is very hazardous. I am surprised that the NHFD, NHPD haven't complained about this yet. There is going to be a serious accident due to not being able to see the light.

  Went by there today and had no problem seeing the light. Looks like fresh cuts on the tree so I'm saying the issue is closed.

Traffic light too fast @ Winthrop and Derby Archived

43 Derby Ave New Haven, CT 06511 - West River

The traffic light literally takes about 5-10 seconds to go through the full traffic phase from red back to red again. Mind you this is only for the Winthrop Ave traffic. So if multiple cars driving down Winthrop are stopped at this light and it turns green, there's only time for one car to pass before it turns red. This type of timing encourages red light running. Can you please make the traffic phase slower for this traffic light? There's also a sister light at Winthrop and Chapel that has the same problem. That one too.

pointless stop light. Archived

1013-1041 Ella T Grasso Blvd New Haven, CT 06511, USA - West River

To whom, it may concern,
There is a point in the traffic light on the corner of Grasso and Legion were the South bound lane of traffic is stopped by a red light while North bound lane has a green light. There is no reason for the South bound lane to be stopped, because it is a dead end so the North bound lane can not turn and the oncoming traffic cannot turn onto Grasso. I travel this street on a daily bases and it @#$% me off every day when i am forced to stop for absolutly no reason. Please deal with this problem immediately. Thank you very much for your time.

  Well it's a bad answer. I guesse I was naive enough to think local government at least could be effective. I guesse you live and learn

  well, i guess it depends on how you define "effective". if you mean you can speed through neighborhoods without a care, no. if you mean slowing down traffic so fatalities are prevented, then yes.
  
  i personally prefer the latter.

  there's a light 100 feet away!!!!do we need a light every 100 feet!!! that's ridiculousness. and to make my point clear,i didnt say there shouldnt be a light there. i said the north bound traffic shouldnt have a red while the south bound has a green. having a red then does not allow pedestrians to cross (because south bound traffic is going),and it doesnt even allow cars to make a right turn onto grasso because legion ends there and there is no cars coming from that direction! im fine with both ways having a red so the traffic from legion caan turn onto grasso, but they should be syncronized.

  Jack r,
  
  Why don't you schedule a time to come to the department. You can meet with the Traffic Signal Superintendant who will go over the traffic signal plans for both intersections and explain the reason for the current configuration. If you are interested in doing this, send an email to:
  transportation@newhavenct.net and we can coordinate a time to meet.
