Concerned about the amount of speeding on Canner Street, specifically the stretch between Nicoll St. and Whitney Ave. Many people use the street as an alternative to Willow and/or Cold Spring, and I have been nearly hit at least once. Also, the Yale Shuttle speeds, and is too wide for the street. I see NHPD using Canner street very frequently, and am concerned that they too have gotten caught up in the frenzy.
Please slow down if you're cutting through on Canner! Sightlines are a pain around here, too. Kids are tough to spot with all the parked cars.

A number of residents walked door to door in the fall and got people to sign a petition addressing speeding on Canner Street. I presented the petition to the Dept of Traffic and Parking. They were optimistic about installing some traffic calming measures. I'll keep you informed as to their progress.

It was at 2:45am, it sounded like a speeding motorcycle.
Not the same kind of "speeding" as was referred to in the OP's concern... but still creepy. There's a lot of people out there, folks!

Canner Street has had consistent complaints about dangerous driving. The Board of Aldermen is wrapping up the city's budget in a matter of days and from that point on we'll have a better idea of how much money is available to implement traffic calming infrastructure on streets like Canner's.
This is a high priority and I'll be working on it and have already been in a number of conversations with the city as to potential fixes. As you know, these things unfortunately take more time than one would like. Thanks for your patience.

Thank you Justin. I lived here for several years and it was indeed a major problem and quality of life issue.
If measures like curb extensions (like those used at Nash & Lawrence) can't be immediately installed, why not used temporary curb extensions? Many cities use these and they are very inexpensive.

It looks like Traffic and Parking will start by putting yellow striping down the middle of the road (currently there is no striping at all.) They feel this will make the road feel less like an open road to drivers.
Although I'm very happy T&P is excited to work on this issue, I don't think this goes far enough and will keep working to see if we can't get additional traffic calming measures installed.

Did the residents who filled out a petition also submit a complete streets "project request form"?
Based on the design manual, this should be a traffic calmed residential street with a limit of no greater than 20 miles per hour... not another arterial street with a double striped lane like Willow.
