  • 204-206 Elm St New Haven, CT, 06511, USA - Downtown
    Without delineators/protection, this bike lane makes the road more dangerous for people on bikes than if it didn't exist at all. You can see in the picture how the woman biking in front of me is now squeezed between the truck and passing cars, and there is almost always a vehicle in the bike lane because of the dorms and the post office. It would be an inconvenience for a car to have to pass a vehicle parked in the car lane, but to someone on a bike it's terrifying to get squeezed because a vehicle is parked in the bike lane.
  • 121 Elm St New Haven, CT, 06510, USA - Downtown

    The Safe Routs for All plan used crash data, % of intersections w/o crosswalks, etc. to prioritize the most dangerous neighborhoods.

    This was not one of them....but it shows the city's real priorities.

  • 1296-1398 Townsend Ave New Haven, CT, 06513, USA - Annex
    would it be possible to get a bike lane for townsend ave. With warmer weather coming townsend and Woodward aves will be major routes to parks and the beach. There is no good bike infrastructure over in east shore.
  • 278-398 Yale Ave New Haven, CT, 06515, USA - Westville
    Planters were destroyed by drivers, now even the plastic orange cones are gone. Lasting hard protection (not just flexible plastic delineators) is needed to protect people on this corner which drivers cut through constantly.
  • 592 Whitney Ave New Haven, CT, 06511, USA - Prospect Hill
    On Sunday I was hit by a driver who fled the scene on Whitney avenue. Can the city please install hard barriers such as bollards, jersey barriers or Toronto barriers as bike lane delineators along this stretch of Whitney ave. Whitney is functionally 6 lanes wide so a dedicated bus/bike lane would improve transportation and safety for all road users.
  • 601-725 Edgewood Ave New Haven, CT, 06515, USA - Westville
    An new plan is needed here. Drivers keep using the bike lane for driving and parking. Delineators keep getting broken and create more trash, cost more money. The cycletrack has been a decade in the making (still unfinished). Hard protection is obviously needed.
  • Brownell St & Edgewood Ave New Haven, CT, 06511, USA - Edgewood
    Need real protection in this painted bike lane buffer area. A car drove into the bike lane to make a left at Brownell to avoid traffic on edgewood without checking their mirror and forced me into the curb while I was legally continuing straight in the bike lane. I had to reach out and hold onto the car's trunk to avoid falling underneath the car and getting run over. The car kept on going and was completely oblivious to the threat they made on my life. If there were barriers between the bike and car lanes then this could have been prevented
  • Edgewood Ave & Ella T Grasso Blvd New Haven, CT, 06511, USA - Edgewood
    Broken glass in the bike lane, delineators destroyed
  • Edgewood Ave New Haven, CT, 06511, USA - Edgewood
    Broken glass in the bike lane, delineators destroyed
  • 269-281 Yale Ave New Haven, CT, 06515, USA - Westville
    Next to a school and a park, this corner remains dangerous with drivers continually knocking down cones and destroying planters. The corner has been unprotected since the original planters were destroyed by drivers and now more are gone. Hard protection — like steel and concrete rather than wood and plastic — is needed to keep people safe on this corner. Please fix before a school kid is killed!
  • 114-144 Edgewood Ave New Haven, CT, 06511, USA - Dwight
    Driver of black truck swerving in and out of the newly striped Edgewood cycle track (still photo from a safe distance doesn't do it justice), plus another driver parked in the driving lane (not pictured) meant additional drivers were using the cycle track as a passing lane. This is dangerous! The cycle track needs hard protection, not just plastic delineators (also missing in this section).
  • 278-398 Yale Ave New Haven, CT, 06515, USA - Westville
    Planters were destroyed. Cones get constantly moved/removed. Hard protection is needed on this dangerous school corner.
