This really should be fixed.

We will contact the management office at 900 Chapel Street. Please close this ticket when the lights go back on.

Thank you

Town Green has called the Property owner's office and left a message about this issue.

I called and left a message also. Thank you LCI for contacting their office - please post here if they give you a timeframe for adding the light. We've been waiting for literally years!

I left a message for Scott Sheeley who is the property manager. Feel free to call the Management office at (203) 776-7770. Please note.....
We will continue to call on a daily basis unitl this ticket is closed. Please update this issue as much as possible. We will post when we talk with Scott and he tells us the real deal!

Here is a photo to help distract everyone form this issue. Please enjoy

Thank you See Click Fix-ers for telling us about the issues!!!

Thank you Watch Man. That's awesome! I'll call each day as well.

a bike rack is neede here too. the starbucks railings get full. but a rack would be best if it were lit up at night too.

oh p.s. scott is at x18

Nobody returned my phone calls over the past 2 days. Anyone else have luck?

why does the city put up with this crap.

Scott called me!!!!!!

It will be fixed over the next few days. I asked that it be fixed ASAP! He said it might take until Tuesday July 28, 2009 because they need an electrician to do the work...it's not as simple as changing a bulb.

LCI will follow this one until we see the light!!!!!!
Or until someone tells us the lights are back on.
Please keep posting so we know what's going on.

Also....feel free to call LCI....946-7090 about other issues.

Please enjoy this photo ....I hope it helps to distract everyone form the issue: lack of light...hahaha....!

Great work LCI. And I love your sense of humor!

Maybe you can tackle the issue of speeding Yale shuttles next?

Call me about the issue @ 946-8373....it's not on my radar...yet!

from today's Register piece:

http://www.nhregister.com/articles/2009/07/24/news/a3-nenyberg.txt

“We are exactly in the same situation as everyone else — we are frustrated,” said Rena Masten Leddy, executive director of the Town Green Special Service District.

She said it has not been fixed despite several calls to College Street LLC, Nyberg’s company.

The Web site SeeClickFix.com lists 80 complaints about the lack of lights, spanning more than a year.

Leddy said it is important that all of downtown is well-lit. “There is no question we want people to feel safe,” she said.

Douglas Hausladen, who heads the Public Safety Committee of the Downtown Wooster Square Community Management Team, said it should not be hard to quickly reach the right person and get it resolved.

“It seems like a little thing to ask for,” Hausladen said. “There is nothing more important than quality-of-life issues, and lighting is one of them.”

Hausladen, who manages property for Yale University, said it took many calls to Nyberg’s office to resolve a problem with trash removal at another of his properties.

“What the hell is going on with David Nyberg?” Clark asked. “What do we do with the man? Where is he?”

its not college street, nor id david really involved anymore---its the philliy folks calling the shots who care little for their tenants, employees and the communities they serve---they are only concerned about one thing and that is money---they are ruining davids reputation here in new haven as well as hartford

At least a few of the lights were on last night, maybe they have been fixed. I'll check again this weekend during the evenings and monitor next week before closing the ticket.

Are we talking about the lights on Chapel, or on Crown Street?

Crown Street is even worse, as there are no street lights with the Gateway hole across the street.

The entire nightclub district should be lit up like Broadway Square imho. Just to make it feel safe...

This concerns the lights on Chapel.

If you want to open a clicket for Crown Street, I'm all for you doing so and totally agree - please post the link here if you decide to do it.

these are on the church street side though

Are those lit up at night, Downtown D?

the ones on chapel street were on when these were off. it was dusk at the time - so perhaps they came on later?

These lights are still off. Some of the ones near the Starbucks are working now, but the ones towards Cafe Bottega are not. It's dark and foreboding.

The city economic development office should really look into why we apparently can't keep our sidewalks lit even after years of complaints from dozens of people and articles in the local newspaper.

Here's what the sidewalk looks like right now.

Not exactly a "Welcome to New Haven" image.

All the advertising dollars in the world for New Haven won't mean much if the sidewalks look like this every night.

Countless times, I have overheard visitors from out of town comment on the darkness of this particular section of sidewalk.

LCI, have you heard anything from these guys?

Tracy Claxton is on the issue 946-2857

It came up at the Downtown Management Team Meeting. She called 900 Chapel Street about this issue.

LCI has called several times about this issue.
Feel free to call the Management office at (203) 776-7770.

i left a message this morning on extension 25

I received a callback from the local management office that informed me that as of 10am, the purchase order/bid for the lighting repair is in the hands of the corporate office based in philly.

Does that mean we should call the corporate office in Philly? This should be fixed right away.

The lights appear to be on now. This is a big improvement. Thank you to everyone who helped fix this!

Please reopen the issue if you notice that the lights are turned off.

I am reopening this issue because at least two lights are burnt out, one above the Chapel Street facade of Bottega, and the other (more important) directly above the tenant callbox entrance to the left of the revolving doors.

I am not sure that the property managers fully understand that these types of things make Downtown New Haven look very unappealing.

LCI called (again) and they say it's an electrical issue.

We are waiting for a more info about this lack of light.

Perhaps the Management company will enlighten us....we'll keep you in the loop.

Thank you! This was fixed as of October 14.

For the past two nights, the lights between the entrance to 900 Chapel and Starbucks have been off.

Please fix this unacceptable situation immediately.

Still not functioning, as of a couple days ago - please fix!!!

Has this been fixed?

The lights are operational again. Thank you!
