Description
My son and other young people in New Haven go to Gateway community College and some of them walk home at night. Some of them have to walk to work because they don't have a vehicle. I tell my son to take the bus or to call me for a ride if I am not working (I don't want him walking the streets of New Haven)He said to me that sometimes him and his friends like to walk if the weather is good. My issue is, why the city let the tree branches get so big that we can't see the street lights. I would like for the next mayor of the city to walk by themselves thru Howard ave, Truman st. Arch st and many other streets in New Haven that are so dark at night that it is scare. The city is responsible for the safety of their citizens. That is why we pay so high taxes. Is good to plant trees in the city. But, the city also have to remember to keep them trim. That would also make the police departments job easier.
