Please add a crosswalk at Bellevue and Crescent or a sidewalk on the south side of Crescent Street between the Boulevard and Colony. Currently there is no safe way for people coming from Bellevue to cross Crescent St. It is very dangerous, and our street is home to many families with young children who cross the street to visit Beaver Ponds Park and Bowen Field on a regular basis.

I have no photos but the first complaint I sent had the wrong address it’s 383- 389 ferry street it’s a two family and the owners live on the first floor the second not sure I think it’s vacant but the lady and her brother Live on the first floor and there’s no running water , the roof and ceilings leak and worse if all the two residents use buckets to use the bathroom and dump the excrement in the back yard they have been doing this for many years it needs to stop now ! There has to be some sort of tests to show all the feces in the yard but also you can clearly see toilet paper on the ground if it hasn’t rained too hard please this has got to be a health hazard ! She has money but won’t fix the house !! Thank you for looking into this deplorable situation ! My next call is channel 8 news if nothing is done thanks again !!

Broken furniture, trash, construction debris in a trailer dumped on Jewell St, including mattresses in the street. Neighbors pick up trash to try to keep the area clean, but this is beyond what we can manage. This is distressing for visitors to Jewish cemeteries! Please clean this up.

This photo was not taken today and does not show the usual morning or late afternoon heavy vehicular traffic, but it does illustrate the intersection at Blake and Valley. On the right, is the Elm City Montessori School with a current preschool through elementary student population of approximately 270 kids. On the left is a surface parking lot that is often used as a cut-through by irate motorists who are frustrated by the frequent traffic back ups that occur here in the morning. Many of the students, including mine, walk to ECMS and cross this dangerous intersection at least twice a day. I have personally been hit three times over the past two years by vehicles piloted by drivers who either run the red light with the cross walk sign illuminated at this intersection or speed through the surface lot in their attempt to short cut the right turn from Valley to Blake. Thankfully, the incidents so far have been minor with no injuries beyond bruises and strained vocal cords. The recent addition of an illuminated "No Turn on Red" sign for those turning right from Blake to Valley has made a noticeable improvement. However, those coming from the opposite direction attempting to turn left from Blake to Valley, do not have an arrow, and often ignore the red light which endangers any pedestrians in the crosswalk. Similarly, those who use the surface lot as an auxiliary right turn lane, often do not watch for pedestrians on the sidewalk along Blake. My kids were almost hit this morning by someone speeding through the lot. I have witnessed near misses by other families crossing this intersection and have spoken to parents with similar concerns regarding the dangers here.

The convergence of significant vehicular and pedestrian traffic at this intersection, particularly in the mornings and late afternoons, warrants an immediate and comprehensive traffic engineering study by the City of New Haven. At a minimum, a left turn arrow for those vehicles turning left from Blake to Valley could be incorporated into the signalling system and would greatly reduce the danger to pedestrians at the crosswalk, as well as facilitate better and safer vehicular movement there. Removing the entry/exit and corresponding curb cut along Blake from the surface parking lot would regulate entry and exit to the lot from Valley Street and thus, eliminate the vehicular cut-through at that location. One could argue for a school crossing guard here, but I would contend that without the application of these two aforementioned basic changes to the intersection and parking lot, the underlying problems will continue to endanger those who use the crosswalks.

Apologies for the long-winded description, but these recommendations are reasonable and achievable. Immediate action needs to take place at the intersection of Blake Street and Valley road before we are faced with an avoidable tragedy.

My wife and I moved to New Haven last year and love it. However, crossing the Green can be very unpleasant with people blocking the pathways. Constant drug dealing makes the Green feel unsafe at the least. This issue is a black eye on this lovely city and easily remedied. Please help our city and make the Green pleasant for residents and tourists.

Please remove the trespassing homeless encampment here again. All the individuals that were previously talked to simply waited at the park until the city left and then started moving back into the underpass. Saw both gentlemen drunk, shouting, and using the bathroom on the street this morning. The drunk fist fighting for locations in the underpass between them is constant. They fight for locations here because they panhandle at the on ramp to the freeway. Surely they can be arrested for trespassing at this point. The underpass is state property.
