hell yeah! welcome!! check out r/newhaven and lmk if you have questions!

lol Fair Haven is part of New Haven, just a neighborhood between the Mill River and the Quinnipiac River that was cut off by I-91. The tracks run in the northwest part of the area near the highway.

hmmm well there's a lot here to unpack. are other races not decent or successful?

Seems to me it's more political connections than anything else as to why action was taken so quickly after only one occurrence when this has been happening for years and years all around the state.

Cities aren't loud, cars and other heavy vehicles are loud.

And like I said in my other comment, I'll believe it when I see it regarding the results of this task force.

also of course there's immediate action when it happens in fuckin Simsbury

I'll believe the results when I see them.

That's what I'm saying, to put the labor costs in the cost of the food.

yes, but it fluctuates wildly depending on weather, economy, and either way it still comes from how much the customer is willing to pay. I'd gladly pay more for food so servers and other tipped staff can earn a living wage and have tipping optional for really exceptional service like most other countries.

good burgers are already $15-20 at sit-down restaurants

So it's okay for them to drive recklessly because they have good insurance?

Then let's have that long discussion. I agree there's a place for everything you mentioned to a point, but the city has thousands and thousands of unused spaces. The area these take up isn't nearly as large as, say, Hartford, but it's still a big portion of the city's most valuable land. There are strides being made, but it's not enough yet.

There's no reason New Haven couldn't lead the charge in vision zero and safe streets in its class of mid-sized cities.

this is exactly it!!

College Street should just be pedestrianized; the flex posts don't block anything, people still park in the "bike lane", and use the free street parking.

Honestly, I'm glad it's more difficult for you to find a street parking spot; that's extremely valuable land that's being taken up for storage for a couch, a couple recliners, a sound system, and some cupholders 🤷🏻‍♂️

How ridiculous; free or cheap street parking takes up so much room in this city when there are far more spaces than would ever be needed in garages and surface lots. We desperately need safer streets for everyone, and outdoor dining is a key part to opening the street to everyone as a community instead of hunks of metal taking up valuable space. The spaces around the aforementioned restaurants should be pedestrianized anyway for the city to move forward and improve safety for everyone.

Yes, if you're a student at any public college or university, you pay a small fee per semester for unlimited bus and rail trips around the state for the ~6 months of your semester season, ex. 1/1-7/31 and 8/1-12/31. It's awesome. https://ctrides.com/u-pass-ct/

nah, 2.5 car lanes, 2 bus lanes, and rest sidewalk and protected bike lanes.

Plenty of cities worldwide that do very well reducing their traffic violence. In particular, here in the US, Jersey City has made wonderful strides.

Whalley is a death trap

S tier post; 100% agree. Thank you.

ya I don't understand how you're supposed to get from the west side of Chapel to the cycletrack across the peanut.. use the bumpy ass sidewalk and go all the way around and cross the crosswalk twice??

100%. I'm a year-round biker in NHV and some of the new infrastructure is pretty great, but it's pretty pathetic there hasn't been movement on safe streets for all. I don't get it; would make the city better for everyone and cement it on the map because of something other than Yale.

YESS

I love how helpful my state is :) people talk shit about the northeast but I think we're s some of the nicest people in the country.

It's easy to catch the bus from Metro-North's Harlem-125th Street station to LGA.

Sometimes Amtrak can get expensive, so make sure to book early to EWR. There's also Newark Penn (neatly every train stops here) where you could catch an NJT train or bus to the airport. A budget trip would be Metro-North to Grand Central to a NJT bus, I think #60?

There are also frequent buses from Hartford's Union Station to Bradley. Better facilities than Windsor Locks with better accessibility. New station is in the works closer to town.

CTtransit 206 goes to and from the Tweed(sometimes you have to reach out to schedule a slight deviation, just a couple blocks) and the green, where you could connect with other buses and parking garages there or at Union.

Don't forget State Street for catching the Hartford Line, could be easier due to bus connections downtown.

All buses anywhere in the state are free through 3/31/23. Hope they extend it and improve the system; ridership has been great.
