I suggest one of the following fixes: A) Put up a No-Thru Traffic sign at the intersection of Pearl and Orange - then station a police officer at the intersection of Bradley and Whitney and ticket every last car that isn't a local resident - more bucks for the city!
B) This is probably more effective for the long term: Address why there is a backup on the off-ramp and on Trumbull between Orange and Whitney - either the lights, or street parking hours need to be adjusted so that morning traffic flows freely from Orange thru Whitney on Trumbull AND make Bradley St one way from Whitney towards Orange.

C) Permanently block the intersection of Pearl and Lincoln - in the future, Pearl could be a dead end at the new SOM building back entrance, which will be gated, and café customers will simply have to exit Pearl at Orange.

I was speaking with Ron Coen from the city and he had mentioned that they were going to do something similar to what was done on Edward St once the sewer separation is done. The sewer project alone will deter cut throughs - and that is slated to happen in the fall.

I also live on Lincoln and have noticed when traveling north to Bradley that they roar South down Lincoln and turn right into Bradley in order to go North and South on Whitney. They are always driving aggressively. Please do something about this.

In March of this year, the LBNA neighborhood came together and worked on a Complete Streets Application (http://www.cityofnewhaven.com/Engineering/completestreets.asp) for the area here. The neighborhood has requested raised intersections and other changes - I will try and share a link to their work soon. The idea was to get the neighborhood's suggestions ahead of the upcoming sewer work and ahead of the work the city plans to do on Pearl Street after completion of SOM.

But how will all of those suburban car commuters get to where they're going? Cue wailing, rending of clothing, pulling of hair... They have the right to externalize all of the negative consequences of their "lifestyle choice" and dump it in your neighborhood. Funny, but I can't ever recall the residents of Durham or Guilford expressing concern that people from New Haven cannot speed through those towns...
Never mind, you can just dump more traffic onto Willow St., the car sewer of East Rock.

Was this issue ever submitted with a Complete Streets form? If not, please do so. The link is provided below.

we have one in preparation for the upcoming sewer separation project - i'll send it over -

thanks!

I drive that street every day and have yet to see anyone "flying" as u say You must be the person who yelled at me to slow when I was only going 10mph. Pearl St by the coffee shop is too narrow, congested and is only 75 ft long to even go faster than 10 without hitting anyone or being able to negotiate the turns and moving cars/ pedestrians-

Please stand out there with a radar gun and see for yourself what you "THINK" is speeding- I guarantee that almost all people are driving less than 25mph.

I have a no thru traffic sign on my street and it does nothing unless it enforced- which it is not- so therefore is just a waste of time, effort and taxpayer dollars.

Maybe if you could get the city to properly time the lights at trumbull st traffic wouldn't back up and the issue would go away.

We are closing this request due to its historic nature. If this concern still requires attention and you still believe SeeClickFix is a viable tool for its resolution the best way for it to be addressed is for you to create a new request including a current description of what is occurring and what solution you hope to see regarding this matter, citing/linking this request in the details. Thank you for your dedication to improving the quality of life in our community.
