  Just noticed a bit ago that the same thing is happening at a UI manhole on Grove Street between the entrance/exits to Grove Street garage between Church and Orange Streets.

Three rough looking gentlemen hanging out in union street dog park across from Firestone. Not supposed to be anyone there without a dog.

  Yes, it's posted in the "rules" that the park is for dogs accompanied by their owners (or the reverse). It's a use guideline, rather than a legal prohibition, so it is difficult to enforce, but given the complaints about people sleeping in the park and creating more trash again, just as we have finished a major clean-up, it would certainly be a reason for the police to at least request that these people move along.

  So Roger, you're suggesting that one person confront three "rough looking gentlemen" about how they should not be in a park. Good advice.

Bike rack would be nice Acknowledged

40 Temple St. New Haven, CT - Downtown

I think 40 Temple (housing dozens of medical offices) could use a bike rack. There are many meters, but when I park my bike on these meters, I worry that I'm making it difficult for 40 Temple's clients to enter and exit their cars. Many of 40 Temple's clients are elderly, sick, or for other reasons use a walker or wheel chair. It'd be nice to keep access to their cars clear.

Need bike racks Acknowledged

1006 Chapel St New Haven, CT 06511, USA - Downtown

Would be nice to have some bike racks on chapel street near Idiom and other stores. Parking meters and poles already heavily used and not enough space to lock up

  This area has slate sidewalk tiles, which is why we haven't installed bike racks here. It's an added cost to replace the stone with a concrete foundation that would support a bike rack. Since we have added numerous bike racks throughout the city, this is a more viable location and we will definitely look into this for the spring/summer of 2012.

  Agreed. I wish the city would choose to invest in bike racks. Sigh.

  You will find them all over the city. The dept. just installed a total of 14 racks last week on Howard Ave and at other downtown locations. We are currently receiving requests for addtional racks from the community and will be installing more this summer. So far, the dept. has invested in the purchase and installation of 81 bike racks over the past 3 years. This number does not reflect the total number in New Haven as Yale has also installed numerous bike racks as well.

  Inverted - U bike racks will not be installed along this stretch of Chapel due to the slate sidwalks. We are currently looking at other possible options in this area. Thank you.

Another bike rack needed Acknowledged

127 Church St Yale University, New Haven, CT 06510, USA - Downtown

Racks, poles and meters are often full here. Lots of tech startup companies in adjacent building

  Due to buses stopping at this location, we are limited to the number of bike racks that can be installed here, which is why we only installed one rack. There are 3 additional racks at City Hall (1/2 a block from this location) which can accommodate 5 bikes.

  That is too far, and those 5 racks are often full.
  
  If a space can not be provided here or in the nearby vicinity (which seems doubtful, given that there are never more than 3-4 buses stopped here and the length of the sidewalk between Church and City Hall is many times longer than that), then a bicycle "corral" should be installed across the street or at the closest parking space, in front of the Courthouse.
  
  Simply closing the issue does not resolve the problem that was reported.

  We will inspect this area to determine if a larger bike rack can replace the existing one. There is limited space due to the bus stop on this corner. Thanks for the post.

Sidewalks Acknowledged

272 College St Yale University, New Haven, CT 06510, USA - Downtown

There were already too few bike racks on this corner, and yet now the few that were here have been removed. Not only should they be returned, but there should be more installed.

Trash Open

630 State Street New Haven, CT 06511, USA - Downtown

There is starting to be more trash here every morning with the reduced clean team time.

If the city puts a pail here, I will pick up trash every am on the way to work.
