Crosswalk blocked

  There are other areas where the sidewalks are not clear to end to provide access to entire sidewalk. New Haven manufacturing sidewalk is blocked by huge snowmound at entrance to parking lot.
  Also the sidewalk has not been cleared at the corner of Austin and Blake by owners of gray apartment building. Yhey should be fined as people are still walking in street. Also between Blake Street center and 220 Valley Street there are no visible fire hydrants.

  I agree with Cindy.
  
  Many of the walks, particularly around the building at the corner of Blake & Valley that is home to a child care center, are blocked and as a result, many people are walking in the middle of Blake Street. Including people with infants and young children.
  
  Can the New Haven Board of Education be notified?

Cross walk sign needed Open

200 Wilmot Road New Haven, CT - West Rock

The cross walk between two school buildings need a clear pedestrian walkway sign to remind drivers to stop for people in the cross walk. Cars and even buses do not stop for pedestrians.

  There are still no signs indicating there is a pedestrian crosswalk.

Crosswalk painting Archived

449 Blake St New Haven, CT 06515 - West Rock

The crosswalk at the corner of Blake and Stone Streets needs to be repainted since the construction paved over half of it.

  The city repainted the crosswalk! Now we just need cars to stop for the pedestrians trying to use it.

Traffic circle possible? Open

Corner Of Blake Street And Stone Street New Haven, CT 06515, USA - West Rock

The traffic on Blake Street goes way too fast for a residential neighborhood with a playground at this intersection. Cars refuse to stop for pedestrians in the crosswalk at this corner. Many families walk or bike to this playground and West Rock Park. They have to dodge the racing cars to get across Blake. Would a traffic circle or light be possible to slow traffic at this corner? The posted 25 mph speed limit is completely ignored.

  How about a pedestrian median? Narrowing the travel lanes to 9' (with 6-12" of striping on each side) and adding a median would definitely slow the traffic to a speed that is appropriate for a residential neighborhood, and is a common tactic used in other cities.
  
  A raised / tabled intersection could also work. These were used in many locations in Cambridge, MA and not only reduced incidence of speeding from about 60% of all vehicles to about 5%, they made local residents feel much more comfortable using their streets.

  Is anyone interested in creating a Complete Streets Request Form for this issue?

  Mark, I like the idea of a 2-foot-wide (or so) median through the crosswalk here, though I wonder if you've seen these integrated with a bus stop like this would need to be. Or the stop could be moved, possibly?

Pedestrian Crossing sign missing Archived

430 Blake Street New Haven, CT - West Rock

Please replace the pedestrian crossing sign at the intersection of Blake Street and Stone Street. It helped to persuade cars to stop. Without it, it's nearly impossible to cross the street to the playground/state park.

  The signs have been removed for the winter in order to protect them from the snow plows. Apparently the city is looking into what it would take to maintain the signs year-round, but is playing it safe for now:
