Our ward was promised a traffic circle at the intersections of Crescent Stree and Munson where Glen and Winthrop also end. It is time to get that constructed as Crescent St. has become a speedway where a fatal accident could occur at any time. Also, there should be a bike route along Crescent Street from Goffee to the SCSU campus. A bike lane would be a perfect aditon after the traffic calming circle is completed.

Did you fill out a Complete Streets Project request form? I do not see a submitted project for a round-about listed here: http://www.cityofnewhaven.com/Engineering/completestreets.asp
However, bicycle lanes are going to be installed on Crescent St. by the end of June. Currently, there are bike lanes on Crescent St from Fitch St. to Ella T. Grasso Blvd. They will extend from the Blvd. to the other end of Crescent St @ the intesection with Goffe.

Thank you Dept.of Traffic and Transportation for the City of New Haven. I also pleased that you responded so quickly and did a great job with the painted bike lane on Crescent. I did indeed see it this past weekend and felt so pleased for everyone that bikes or drives down that street. But what we still DO NEED is the traffic circle at the corner of Crescent and Munson which will considerably slow traffic down for that section of Crescent where many drivers use it like it is a racetrack. Or if you don't put a traffic circle there then we will need a traffic signal at that very dangerous intersection. The Athlectic Center and Hillhouse H.S. get so much use through the year that I a very surmised that nothing has been done yet at that corner.
Again thank you and the City of New Haven for getting those bike lanes in on Crescent. A job very well done!

The idea that a traffic circle costs $500K, or a speed hump costs $50K, is incorrect.
If you study the experience of Seattle (which has installed thousands of traffic circles) and other cities, the figures are often less than 1/10th of that.
Our government needs to stop "scaring" people about what traffic infrastructure costs, and delaying projects for years or even decades. The level of misinformation that comes out of City Hall is truly astonishing. These projects can be accomplished within a week and at almost no cost if the correct solution is used.
