bike is no longer there

A bike rack was installed in front of fuel.

thank you TT&P!

You are welcome sir.

oops, meant to close the clicket when I posted that photo.

Nice,
Saw one in Jocelyn Square as well. Are bike lanes and sharrows next?

hopefully. the city needs to start living in the 21st century if it wants the most educated/productive/mobile workforce to stay here and put down roots

A new bike rack with capacity for two bicycles locked parallel to the curb was installed here in late June.

This issue was closed

Thanks Noel. That's great. If you have a peer at Southern CT Gas we could create a watch area for them as well.

Hey Noel,
Did you guys get this one?
I have not been over there in a while.

Cap was replaced

This is a residential area. The department will only install bike racks in front of businesses and or in front of public spaces where bike traffic has a high demand.

Hmmm....sparkles, seems suspicious to me.

The Department does not provide bike racks to residential units. If there is a need for racks due to a demand from area buisnesses, we would then inspect the location and make a determination based upon need and space requirements for the rack to be properly installed.

Two new bike racks were installed on the sidewalk along Olive St over the summer!

The department decided to alter their stance on bike rack installations in late summer and will now install at apartment complexes with multiple units, as long as the existing conditions on public property (sidewalks) can accomodate bike racks without impeding the public right-of-way.

I pass by this eyesore several times a day. If someone with a hacksaw could free the thin bar holding the bike to the sign, I'd remove it and put it in our dumpster.

Good news! The NHFD came and sawed off the bike lock and an officer from the NHPD took the bike away. Hallelujah!

Bike has been removed.

My crystal ball predicts that there will be murders on Court Street soon. Enough mugging, the bad guys will take it to the next step and use their guns...whay not, there are no efforts by the police to catch these criminals. Residents should ask themselves why it has taken so long.

Ahhhh... yessss...maybe another crime watch meeting will make everyone feel good. That always works, bring in the spokesperson for the New Haven Police and let him say nice comforting words....over and over and over.

New Haven residents voted for the same mayor so they do not have to expect change. This Destafano will not budget the resources to "prevent" crime, he knows the residents of New Haven do not expect him to improve the living conditions and safety of its residents.

With Destafano as mayor, no reason to believe the Police Chief intends to "prevent" crime, he is working with the budget he has and either does not have the eggs to push for bigger budget or is satisfied that the statistics are not high enough (statistics come from reporting crime).

As long as the residents do not report crime, the statistics cannot justify remedial measures and city management will focus on other than policing and crime prevention.

When there are more police in New Haven, more police walking or cycling "the beat" in these troubled areas, the criminals will be caught and the residents and children will be safe in New Haven.

Until such time as the criminals move to a difrferent "feeding ground", I suggest that all persons walking on Court street should wear a bullet proof vest and carry a pistol with 2 clips. Also, when you get mugged, report it to the police and state that you heard a gun shot (so that your call will become prioritized and police will come in 45 minutes)

Any progress on the code enforcement issue, AKA, the property managers at Smoothie not giving a rat about the neighborhood?

Good to hear there has been some forward movement on the lighting, but that's not enough.

From issue 11211: "woostersqwatch wrote about 1 hour ago
We had a terrific response from the NHPD. We have installed a camera and lights are coming on the Court Street Bridge. Also, the law office and the Smoothie Building got their parking lot lights on which has helped tremendously. We have not had an incident since Christmas Eve."
