Greetings Neighbors! 

Here are three community updates.

Community Meeting Tonight

In September, the Historic Wooster Square Association (HWSA) distributed a community survey to determine priorities for a possible state grant to improve public space and safety in the neighborhood. 85 community members responded with helpful feedback and suggestions. The HWSA would like to share the results of the survey with you to continue the conversation about your hopes for the neighborhood and possible projects.

On Thursday, January 20 at 7 PM, HWSA board members and Alder Cupo will host a community meeting on Zoom. You can register for the meeting at this link: https://yale.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYsduqopjguEtNdb7tzA-IVpOte4ETZWU-z . We will share the results of the survey and take additional questions and feedback about the neighborhood issues that are important to you.

Popup COVID Clinics

Attached are 3 City fliers related to COVID testing clinics. 

Public Safety

There was one larceny from a vehicle near 240 Greene Street on 1/7 at 5:15pm. Lt. Borer will soon be sharing signs for our cars to be hung on the rear view windows that say “Nothing to Steal Here”. He credits his wife with this crime deterrent! Stay tuned for information when these signs are available. 

Stay safe and warm ☃️❄️☃️

Greetings Neighbors, 

Below find an update from the Wooster Square Monument Committee, and an attachment about COVID testing sites in New Haven.

Wooster Square Monument Committee Survey

Here is a link to a Community Survey from the Wooster Square Monument Committee (WSMC). https://form.jotform.com/220209280903044.  The Survey shares revised renderings of the proposed statue to replace Columbus in Wooster Square Park. The Committee is asking Wooster Square community members and other supporters to complete the survey to select the rendering they like best and share feedback on these renderings by January 31, 2022. 

Stay Safe and Warm,
