Unsafe

The Farmington Canal Trail is great, but getting to it is very dangerous. We refer to the portion of Treadwell Street from the intersection with Leeder Hill Road to the Canal Trail trailhead as "suicide alley". There is no sidewalk on either side of the street. Too many drivers drive too fast, and the road is way too narrow where it crosses a small stream.
Mather Street, from Martin Terrace westward, is equally dangerous, with no sidewalk. The area of Waite Street that traverses the lakes is a lovely place to walk, but also dangerous. Again, no sidewalks.
Whitneyville would be a lot nicer if there were continuous sidewalks on all of the streets. Our taxes are absurdly high (by far, our largest single monthly expense) and we can't help wondering what we are paying for.

This problem has not been resolved, but you closed my complaint saying it was. The driveway skirt and sidewalk need repair, still.

Curb is broken between 144 & 148 Circular Ave
Also sidewalks need to be repaired from 142 thru 156, actually you should look at the whole block from Bradley Ave to Wilbert
I requested sidewalk repair for 148 in January 2019 , was told it was added to 2010 schedule please update. Thank you

Last year a crew from Public Works removed a tree next to 107 Westminster St, Hamden. Prior to the tree removal the tree root was pushing the sidewalk up. Resident is putting in a request to have just that little section of sidewalk repaired, evened out so no one trips and falls in the future.

Unsafe sidewalk

4/7/2021-I have reported a problem with the sidewalk in front of my home since Feb 2011. The sidewalk is raised due to tree roots that the town has since taken down (Oct 2013). The sidewalk has cracked more and when it rains there is a huge puddle and now it's completely crumbling to small rocks. Many older and handicapped people walk on this side of the street and I have seen many people trip. The town has marked out the sidewalk and driveway skirt numerous times, needs repaired asap.
Here is the last signoff from the Engineering Inspector 12/8/2017: "The Town currently repairs sidewalks based on the roads with the oldest complaints. Once we get to a street, we attempt to repair all sidewalk problems on the street. We are currently working on streets with complaints from 2007 and about to begin 2008 streets. Based on current funding and given your street is a 2007 street, we anticipate it to take within a year to get to the street. The town is currently winding down sidewalk work for the year due to impending cold temperatures and snow". I do not understand why it would take over 10 years for the Town to repair this issue. I would appreciate a timely response.

There are 2 areas in need of repair. This is one area right by a tree recently removed by the town last autumn. The other area is further down the sidewalk, also raised, but not visible in this picture. Both present a significant tripping hazard

My sidewalk and a small portion of my neighbors sidewalk just next to my driveway. I have a special needs son with mobility issues and it is difficult for him to traverse the sidewalk.
