Sludge overflow Archived

Blake And Austin New Haven, CT - West Rock

At the corner of Blake and Austin, there is a sludge overflow (sewage? It reeks!) onto the sidewalk. This corner is a mess in general, with an uprooted metal pole on landowner's property, and a small pond of sludge on the lawn. The city may have to contact the apartment complex owner to resolve.

Bus shelter glass smashed out Open

400 Blake St. New Haven, Connecticut - West Rock

If this area isn't going to be policed, maybe there just shouldn't be a bus shelter here. The glass all over the street/sidewalk and general blight aren't worth it.

  This is chronic at this shelter. I agree, just remove it. I never see anyone sitting there anyway.

  Plenty of people sit there, but it's just a waste of money and time for the city to repeatedly repair the glass only to have it broken within a week or two. "This is why we can't have nice things."

  TT&P, please acknowledge. Also, can the NHPD be informed of the rampant vandalism at this spot and investigate? This is costing a lot of taxpayer money at this point to replace these panels every few weeks and my guess is this is the work of the same person with a warped and juvenile sense of fun. Wintergreen apartments might even have video of their driveway entrance and the busstop area to see who is doing this and when.

Snow @ bus stop sidewalks Open

276-370 Fitch Street Southern Connecticut State University, New Haven, CT 06515, USA - Southern CT State University

Please clear the snow in front of the SCSU covered bus stop on Fitch St. across from the Adanti Student Center building. There is a snow bank that students have to climb in order to board the bus. This is dangerous, as the snow has been compacted, creating a slippery situation where a person trying to board the bus could slip and fall underneath a bus while trying to board. There are also snow banks blocking two bus stops on Wintergreen Ave. in fron of SCSU Office Building 1 and Granoff Hall. This is a chronic issue and we bus riders would appreciate it if these bus stops were made safe by clearing the snow as part of normal plowing operations.

  Not only snow here makes sidewalk inaccesible but go to next corner near Blake Street Center and it is even worse, it has not been touched at all and also the corner of Austin and Blake.

Pedestrians using parking lot as a sidewalk Archived

101 185 Wintergreen Ave New Haven, CT - Southern CT State University

When classes are in session, pedestrians travel the length of this parking lot throughout the day.

In recent months a sign was placed on the Granoff side of the lot, which may have slightly improved the situation. However, most foot traffic now appears to originate on the TE-6 side, passing between the air-conditioning unit and OB-1. Perhaps a small strategically placed fence (twine with an orange flag?) or a fold-out sign might do the trick.

  A fair worry--it is just typically, no amount of engineering or road building ever makes a pedestrian take a longer path (and I think if we're honest with ourselves, we realize that we never do take the longer route as pedestrians).
  
  Proper engineering places pedestrians--the most vulnerable road users--at the forefront. I honestly think this lot needs a redesign if the students are not safe here. They will never ever use the sidewalks which abut it if they are less convenient--no amount of signage will change that.
  
  If a road is designed to be safe at 40, people will drive at 50. If a path is shorter, people will take it.
  
  Road design should--ideally--be such that it creates a level of safety for everyone, and prioritizes pedestrians. Otherwise, we are just asking for problems.
  
  I'm not trying to bash you Levers&Pulleys--just trying to offer a very different perspective! I know it can be frustrating to see other people flaunting the rules, but legally, the students are well within their rights to walk through the parking lot. While the extra 5 minutes to use the sidewalk may not seem like a lot to a person who enjoys the convenience of driving to their destination, it certainly does add up for the walker.

  While signs may be posted, banning pedestrians from using a public space ( this parking lot is provided by tax payers ) is not actually fixing the problem. I think SCSU should look into a long-term plan that improves access and ease of use for pedestrians, in accordance with the city of New Haven's Complete Streets ordinance.

  this is the least of the problems along the Pine Rock Ave town line. Parking and road conditions are a high priority that need to be addressed.

Multiple street lights out or flickering Archived

Springside Ave New Haven, CT - West Rock

Still not fixed as of March 7, 2012. This was first reported in December. Multiple lights on Springside are out or flicker and stay off for long pauses. 11579, 3116 (SNET pole, not UI), 11580, 11583, 11584 and 11588 are out. This represents nearly half of the lights on the street. This is especially dangerous as Springside does not have a sidewalk and is frequented by walkers, joggers, and cyclists. Several of these poles are adjacent to each other, so it leaves some long, very dark curves on the road. Please fix ASAP!

Sidewalks Need Snow Removal Archived

Brookside Ave New Haven, CT 06515, USA - West Rock

The sidewalk between Level Street and Wilmot Road does not have any cleared path through the snow for pedestrians walking to the bus stop or to Brennan-Rogers school. This morning I watched kids walking in the street and a mom lifting her baby stroller over a snowbank to get on the B bus.

  Understood the city doesn't remove snow for residents. But doesn't the City of New Haven have policies for snow removal and the ability to fine owners who don't follow them? Doesn't this fall under the larger umbrella of LCI or something?
  
  The building on Level Street that may be responsible for the sidewalk on Brookside is boarded up. The building after that on Brookside is listed as being owned by the United States of America (Job Corp.) and followed by land that IS owned by the CIty of New Haven (that isn't shoveled either).

  Why are there so few issue raised by the good people of West Rock?
  Is it the fact that few have internet access or is it that they do not trust government spying websites like this one ?

  Hi Darnell,
  
  When you say government spying, do you mean people spying on the government?
  That seems like a good way to think of it but why should people have to spy on their government?
