It appears the folks at Nicas are clearing a path from their parking lot behind the house on the corner of Bishop and Orange, to put in a connecting driveway onto Bishop Street. If you look closely, you can see the chalk marks on the ground where they are planning the driveway.
Is this even legal? I am very concerned about this. The owners at Nicas have historically not shown a great deal of concern about following the law - whether it be the number of outdoor seats allowed, zoning issues, parking lot issues, garbage issues etc.. Nor have they concerned themselves much about the danger their persistently illegally parked supply trucks present to the public (driving OR walking). IN short, they cannot be trusted to take public safety and public good into consideration when making changes.
I hate to think the effect such a driveway would have on the increased traffic to the neighborhood.
Zoning - please step in here. Surely these people must be breaking a half-dozen zoning codes.

First of all they are putting in a bigger driveway and a new garage for the property that they own on the corner. It is not going to connect to the other parking lot.
second of all what about all the other idiots that have businesses on the street that the truck park in the middle of the road and deliver stuff. I have all the @#$% that go to Cafe Romeos park in front of my driveway. do you see me sitting here @#$% and moaning or do I just have them towed.
I really think you need to do some research before you make a comment on this website. they do have all the proper permits so you can go down to the Town Hall building department and look.

It seems to me that there is a general agreement that East Rock business may be disrupting residents' rights--albeit without ill intent. I've read numerous complaints about parking, sidewalk, and careless driving issues in this site. That said, maybe the City should be more diligent in supervising the area and taking note of residents' concerns. It is surprising that Nica's would have a permit for a new driveway that neighbors were not consulted about--my experience is that the City issues letters before issuing permits for such kind of new construction. If those concerned are renters, it may be worth checking with your home's/apartment's owner; if owners, make sure to submit an actual letter--and not an email--to the Building Department and its board (if it has one)--and in either case, contact your alderperson.
Here is the Building Department contact (which I believe could answer questions about the driveway, though not parking issues)

The owners of the home pay taxes in New Haven just like everyone else and it seems to me that they are taking steps to improve the property. I personally did not find the old garage that attractive.
I'm wondering if all this concern about what is going on is fueled by other unrelated issues, perhaps personal.
The garage cannot be built without a permit, so whatever they are doing then it is in line what the zoning regulations if it was granted.
I suggest we worry about bigger issues concerning our town and not the reconstruction of an old garage. Cheers.

I like the store , the owners are friendly.They have a thriving business,good luck.
They fall short in comparison to Nick Cassella,former owner,Prime Market. He would have as many trucks as he can deliver early as possible (not too early as to waken the nabe )
They were quick and stealthy in regards to unloading a truck and getting the driver and truck out of there as soon as possible - No loitering around for an hour as we see many a delivery person do now

I'm afraid I have to second that ("afraid" because I know other East Rockers are tired of our endless trouble with Nica's -- the town's most ****** residents). But what to do? I've spoken with them frequently when, after dark, they are "blowing" loudly with their machines (what is wrong with a rake or a broom?) thus sabotaging our summer evening's peace. Today a nerighbor and I stood and looked at the squalor that is now Nica's "little acre" which, but a few years ago, was an attractive property with lawns and pretty dogwoods & ancient hemlocks bordered by beautiful firs.. As we gazed with dismay on today's unpleasant spectacle it was not without a sense of irony since,: for the past 4 years, while Nica's has been degrading the neighborhood, East Rockers have been working hard, day after day, week after week, with Greenspace....... to beautify the area.!.

There is a noise ordinance on the books. Read up on it and call the cops. Demand they bring the noise meter. Get your alderman to make sure they listen to you.
If you can't get help with this, and it really is such a problem, consider replacing your alderman with someone who can get things done.

Then you keep calling the switchboard until they send someone.
Or tell them you have an emergency and have to get your kid's spare inhaler to him because she's having an attack at a friend's house and if they don't get the car moved immediately you'll sue them so hard it will make Ricci vs. New Haven look like overturning a speeding ticket.
Key point, squeaky wheel gets the grease.
