Descrizione
ATVs racing back and forth on Dover St between Ferry & Clinton. They are coming from the address listed above. My wife witnessed a perent and child almost hit by ATV about 20 minutes ago!! Please send the POLICE. I do not want to call because I am sure there are gang members living at this address. We will post a video when we can hide and film.

Tired of this issue? Then show your support this Tuesday 11/13 @ 6 p.m., all should attend, no excuses! If not you, and us, then who? Tell everyone you know and bring them along if needed--room should be packed, this may be our only chance for this type of City-wide meeting. Please distribute widely.
via Alderman Justin Elicker:
"There will be a public hearing on the dirt bike ATV issue Tuesday, 11/13 at 6pm in Board of Aldermen Chambers at City Hall. 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?"

Mr. Rob Smuts,
With all due respect, though I understand you are seeking to streamline the processes for the "response" side of these issues, this is NOT solely a Policing issue. Your office, the administrative branch of our local government, is sending your police force up a creek without a paddle.
You are not giving them the legislative tools to properly deal with this issue. You ask them not to chase (I, as many of us are OK with that btw--less risk for those involved and less liability for the City) but are also sitting idle thinking that simply saying "we cannot chase" exonerates you from solving this issue. As a young tax-payer, long time resident and product of New Haven public schools, I am here to tell you that it does not. It is passing the buck sir, and may I remind you; this is not a hockey city.
Give your PD the legislative tools to be able to deal with this vital quality of life issue properly. The ball is in your boss's court.

I will be closing dirt bike/ATV complaints that pre-date the conclusion of the police undercover operation (see www.newhavenindependent.org/index.php/archives/entry/9_arrested_in_dirt_bike_sting/). I do not expect the dirt bike/ATV issue to be completely solved, but it will be helpful to policing efforts to distinguish new reports from those before this recent operation.
Please open up new SCF issues as dirt bike/ATV issues re-occur.
