The new bike and pedestrian lanes on Yale Ave in front of Edgewood School are great, but on multiple occasions, as I'm dropping my child off at school there, drivers have been driving their cars up those lanes. One driver was actually dropping their child off and was confronted by the crossing guard to not park there, that it was a bike, lane, to which the driver responded that there were no bikes now. The crossing guard seemed content with that response.

Enforcing bike lanes when there are no bicycles makes about as much sense an setting red light times for imaginary pedestrians at every freaking intersection so cars sit wasting gas and pumping fumes.
The end result will be the bike lanes and traffic signals being ignored.

Hyper-cameratization and drone dispatch are in order here.
Kids are demonstrably able to be educated remotely.
The abuse of a DEDICATED "BIKE , LANE" by a child and/or their parent/guardian should literally be criminalized.
No more excuses.

I have noticed an increase of parking and student drop-off on W. Rock as a result of the Edgewood changes. I wish planning for Edgewood School student drop off could have been focused to occur on the school property rather than making it harder for parents to use the nearby residential areas. A parent that uses the front of my house for their drop off will force children to cross Edgewood and W Rock. This is not a a safety improvement for the children.
Summary: give the parents a drop off lane on the school property so the children can go directly into the school. With the existing space around the school a drop off lave could have been incorporated with minimal effect to playground and parking.

Adam .... I am a daily bicycle rider/commuter with a bike pass from Metro North to prove it. Crazy me I'd prefer to see my tax dollars spent on solutions that WORK as opposed to stuff that "feels good".
I realize addressing the actual issue at hand can be a challenge for some folks though... carry on.

5 minute traffic signals are NOT the answer any more then cutting local streets down to one tiny lane in order to cater to a dozen people on bicycles is.
Enforcing SPEED LIMITS with visible patrol units for one example would do one heck of a lot more to make the neighborhood safer.

Automobile drivers PAY for the road.... that is reality.
I'd love to see a more bike/pedestrian-friendly New Haven but poor planning and lame design (par usual) is not getting it done. The way that school bike lane was laid out will not work out long term and the money spent on it will have been wasted... but I guess that's just fine by you hmm?
And AGAIN I ride a bike on the road nearly every day.... do you?

Apologies for allowing myself to be "trolled" .... my only excuse is I was in a bad mood.
Won't happen again.
