Description
ANOTHER car accident at the intersection of Whalley Ave and Ella Grasso BLVD. I have lived here for over 10 years and there is an average of 1 car accident a week and I see at least 1 -2 near misses a day.
The complaints on SEECLICKFIX, as well as multiple complaints to the city are NUMEROUS and go back YEARS.
How much longer until someone gets killed here, and the city gets sued for millions of taxpayer dollars?
If this gets closed before the intersection is fixed and turn signals are installed I'm just going to keep re-opening it.

City of New Haven Dept of Transportation, Traffic, and Parking. https://www.newhavenct.gov/gov/depts/traffic/default.htm.
The response is that there has been a traffic report done on this intersection, and that everything is working as it should.
The lights work just fine, they just need to have green arrows and proper timing on ALL four sides so that people who are turning left have time to turn instead of getting stuck in the middle of the intersection when the lights change while people go flying down Whalley or Ella Grasso at 50 MPH.
And while there have been no fatal car accidents here, there have been a few pedestrians killed at this intersection.

This intersection is a problem for every person who has to drive through it or walk through it, as well as the people who live here. The alders have been contacted numerous times about it, nothing gets done.
The screeching of tires is nerve wracking, waiting to hear breaking glass and crashing metal, it wears one down, almost like PTSD.

This was first posted on June 14 and it still has not been resolved so I guess the new way of reporting a problem is not working too well.
