The busy I-95 Corridor:
This from the Downtown/Wooster Square Community Management Team, sent them by the Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge Folks, who are building the beautiful bridge and re-organizing the highways:
<<This summer, I-95 Northbound will be shifted into a new alignment onto the bridge over Water Street. When this occurs, the off-ramp to I-91 Northbound (Exit 48) will exit on the right.
I-91 / I-95 / Route 34 Construction Activities
Impacted Roadways: I-91, I-95, Route 34 and Water Street.
Nighttime closure and detour of Woodward Avenue on-ramp to I-95 Southbound is scheduled to occur Tuesday, may 24, between the hours of 10 PM and 5 AM. This work is necessary to facilitate roadway construction.
Nighttime closure and detour of Route 34 Eastbound off-ramps to I-91 Northbound and I-95 Northbound is scheduled to occur weeknights through May 2016 between the hours of 10 PM and 5 AM. This work is necessary to facilitate bridge construction.
A continuous daytime and nighttime closure and detour of the Vision Trail between State Street and Sargent Drive is scheduled to occur through May 2016, as part of State Project No. 301-0144, to facilitate work in the New Haven Railyard. Although this work is not part of the Program, CTDOT is coordinating with the Program to reduce the potential for conflicts and control the impact on local bicycle and pedestrian traffic. Signage will be posted.

This Program was been exemplary in its diffusion of knowledge, accessibility and openness.
LOCAL SECURITY:
We visited CompStat, the weekly all Security and Public Service Organizations meeting at Police Headquarters, and this is what we can report:
As per our District Manager, Sgt. Roy Davis of the New Haven Police Department:
- Motor Vehicle Theft: Church Street
- 3 Larcenies from Vehicle: Center Street, Temple/Elm Street, State Street/Trumbull Street
- Intimidation with a Weapon: Chapel Street
- Assault with a firearm: Grand Avenue/Artizan Street
Although these events and incidents occurred on the near periphery of our Wooster Square neighborhood, please remember that we are a conduit neighborhood, connecting Fair Haven and Downtown, and all incidents are linked.
Please be mindful of your vehicles, your property, and, most of all, yourselves.
Three kind of great folks were born today, Johns Hopkins (1795), Malcolm X (1925) and Pete Townshend (1945) and we know many of you out there were also born today, so, all together now:
Happy Birthday!
DO NOT FORGET:
The New Haven International Festival of Arts and Ideas is gearing up and will blossom all over town soon, and very soon:
