This page is devoted to an issue dear to all of us...traffic and related issues.
Important News:
The WCA has launched a new 'sister'
website...originally planned to be
a clearinghouse for all things Traffic it is designed for our
Traffic Committee and residents alike as a place to interact with
the Traffic Committee and with each other in way that we hope will bring a new
sense of direction to the problems we all face in this regard.
Check out the site at: http://hamden.ning.com. Join or just visit. Add comments, ideas, and concerns.
This site has quickly become dynamic and is fast becoming a broad coalition of citizens, organizations, and elected
officials, helping create a town with neighborhood streets that are more
livable -- more walkable, bikeable, economically viable,
environmentally sound, and safer for residents of all ages and
abilities.
Current Traffic Work:
The Whitneyville Traffic Committee, including reps from Mather Street,
North Edgehill, Lake Street, Winnet, Putnam, Ralston, Treadwell, Auger
and Carleton, are gathering information and suggested solutions to
include an a special "Traffic Calming" report to be sent to Mayor
Jackson in early April.
All interested in sharing their concerns and ideas can do so by 1)
attending the WCA meeting on March 11, or 2) completing the spreadsheet found at our new site above, noting all details and sending to Lisa KK via the new site or to List at: traffic@whitneyville.org .
Lisa KK, our Traffic Committee Chair, will be compile
all comments and suggestions into a comprehensive report. If you have
any questions, please respond to this discussion. Feel free to add other
Hamden locations that are not in your immediate neighborhood, and obtain
ideas from your Whitneyville friends and neighbors.
We want to submit
as comprehensive a report as possible to ensure our Hamden Town
administration has the info needed to plan safety improvements for the
both the short- and long-term. Contact: The Traffic Committee is headed up by Lisa Kleintjes Kamemoto and is exploring ways to connect, keep informed and
liaise with the WCA on issues in and around Whitneyville.
