West Haven District 2 Council - Debbi Conlon

The roof is caving in and hasn't been repaired in decades. The yard is full of garbage, animal waste, several leaky refrigerators, stolen milk crates, and other various garbage and clutter. There is no lawn. Often illegal(uninsured, residential zone) mechanic work and unlicensed acetylene torch work goes on there. Oil and brake fluid are dumped in the street(stains are still there). By far this is the worst house and neighbors(unapproachable chaotic behavior) on the entire block, please help!!!!

Guy found with heroin,guns,and homemade bomb. Alot of activity coming in and out of that house everyday. Alot of kids in this neighborhood. Parents are afraid for their children.How and when will police stop this activity at this house,before this guy injures someone or kills someone. Police need to check house with four car garage across the street on cottage street.

On 07/28/10 an 18 year old camp counselor at the West Haven Painter Park Camp struck my niece in the hand for a punishment. No DCF Report # 136 was filed under the law of mandated reporting, no police report was made, and one of the directors of the camp said: "There was two sides of the story". My niece has Rheumatoid Arthritis and her hand has been twitching for days. The camp has yet to report this felony assault on a minor by an 18 year old adult and has swept the whole affair under the rug.

Excessive noise coming from backyard & illegal (loud) fireworks being done late at nite after 10 and 11 PM. Cars play very loud radios late at nite and don't care about their neighbors. this goes on practically every nite.

This is a very hazardous area for walking, and there is no alternative across the street in front of Chick's, where there is no sidewalk and little room for a pedestrian. So pedestrians are forced to share this dangerous road with motorists who flaunt the absence of police patrol of this road (why is this??), and drive in reckless excess of the posted speed limit -- wait, there is NO posted speed limit on this road!. The city KNOWS this is a dangerous area because they put up cones for a charity walk on Sept 18, but then removed the cones at the end of the day. The problem is exacerbated by dangerous driving; east-bound motorists turn onto Beach St from Washington Ave, and then have the long straightaway to accelerate to speeds often exceeding 50mph, with complete impunity, reaching the bend at Morse Ave and often appearing to barely have control of their vehicle as they make the turn...right where pedestrians are now walking. All that's waiting to happen is for one of these motorists to be texting or talking on a cell phone, and for someone, tragically, to be killed or seriously hurt. This is malicious negligence on the part of the city of West Haven, and should something tragic happen, they should be taken to task and to court. There's no reason why they can't put up temporary structures, such as NJ dividers, to create a safe passage for ped's. Of course, there's also no reason why they can't install speed humps on Beach St (such as one finds more and more on streets in New Haven), or some other traffic calming device. And as days shorten, morning walkers are even more endangered, walking in the dark and sometimes in fog, by the long stream of speeding east-bound commuters (often using cell phones, doing their hair, etc.) who use Beach St as an alternative to other east-west roads that slow them down with traffic lights and stop signs.
Shame on you, West Haven!!
