Elm City Cycling contributed the first two questions, regarding 20MPH
residential speed limits (which have become a priority policy in
thousands of other cities, but not in New Haven, despite decades of
requests) and Route 34.

For those looking for additional details from New Haven Mayoral candidates, a couple of the questions from this debate appeared again within ECC's candidate questionnaire.

"This summer, Elm City Cycling distributed a questionnaire to 2013 #NHV Mayoral Primary Candidates, in order to consolidate information about the candidates for the general public. Candidates were asked to reply by August 18th. Elm City Cycling received two responses as of Sept 5th. Read more here:"

FYI, this may be of interest given the Democratic primary results today.
