This has, for the last two years, been one of the least-safe blocks for cyclists in New Haven, and it's a small miracle that nobody has been hurt yet. There is no lighting whatsoever on the east side of the Knights of Columbus Museum: this block is pitch-black at night. Couple that with low guard rails on the shoulder overlooking the train tracks, and then, with the deep ridges that mark it -- I've blown out two tires already on them -- and you have a tragedy/disaster/fiasco waiting to happen.

This is especially problematic as that stretch of State Street North is the only route for bicycle commuters returning from Union Station to downtown and parts north and east. From what I can tell, most walk their bicycles along the sidewalk on the south side of the KoC building, but seriously: this has been an issue for two years, and it seems a pretty basic one. Can't something be done before someone gets hurt?
