Serious Traffic Safety Issues Near Downtown New Haven and the Yale Campus

An update from New Haven Safe Streets on the status of traffic issues in Downtown New Haven:

"The reports below are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the many serious traffic safety concerns that have been documented near the Yale Campus and within Downtown New Haven. These ongoing problems would not be tolerated in other cities. Please vote on these and forward to other residents if you are concerned with them.

"If we all speak up about these issues, we can help make New Haven a healthier, safer and more economically vibrant place. Safer streets have been proven to support many times more more jobs and taxes, and encourage residents to rely on less costly forms of transportation like walking, biking and mass transit.

"Feel free to reply to this email and note other "problem" intersections around the city if you are aware of them. Please also consider working with your neighbors to submit a New Haven "complete streets" request form, available at http://www.cityofnewhaven.com/Engineering/completestreets.asp and make sure that your matter gets on the public record."
