Hill Square-Howard-Davenport-Blvd-Lamberton

Laydon Industries continues to crush rocks in this neighborhood area despite a cease and desist order from the City of New Haven -- from which it receives contracts! Air quality is severely compromised, and the noise levels are high. Would a company ever try to get away with this in a rich neighborhood? NO!

This is soooo inspiring. A group of men on my block have come together and with their shovels and personal snow blowers, the are digging/plowing the one block that seperates us from the main street that has been plowed. They're halfway done. There is a man who lives across from me who started this effort with his snow blower and he has a truck with a snow plow on a truck - not big, but if he can get his truck out, then they may make it to the main road. Now they may not be able to finish ... but I am grateful that they are pulling together in a collective effort to help each other out and do something for this neighborhood.

At this intersection there is a school, a very busy Chinese greasy spoon, a police substation and a grocery store. I watched a group of kids coming from the store and heading to the playground behind the school stand for 5 minutes waiting to cross until they finally stepped out into traffic forcing the cars to stop or hit them.

the dog at 637 Washington doesn't stop barking and the owners seem ro think this is normal/acceptable. he's kept outside all day and barks at anything that moves. this is a quality of life issue for neighbors in this densely populated area.

Our street has not been plowed. We haven't seen or heard a snow plow. But the intersection of Columbus Avenue has been plowed.

My friend is a disabled vet. He goes to the V.A. Community center, on Front st. in West Haven, for group's everyday. The problem is, he has to ride his mobile wheelchair in the street from Davenport & Vernon st. to the center everyday because of the snow mound's every were, the city buses can't lower there wheelchair ramp any where along the street. There's no room. not only that, the curb ramp's are not shoveled. So the disabled have to stay home or risk there lives riding down snow and ice'd street's, this is unexceptable. The American's with Disabilitie's Act Prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in Employment, Transportation, Public Accommodation etc. The city is accommodating car's and the walking by plowing, but they made know accommodations for the disabled. Let's get with it New Haven, live's are at stake here.

Resolution2012. CT Transit should extend the J Bus going up Howard to the edge of the Yale-New Haven Hospital campus so more employees can take the bus to work. (Currently it turns off Howard @ Columbus.)
