Minutes from March 20, 2025 Meeting

Traffic Updates

  • Mather Street: Speed tables have been installed and neighbors report they’ve been a success. Rest of speed bumps will be installed this year.
  • Leeder Hill/Whitney Center: A new design has been proposed with two or three speed tables and a better cross walk, possibly using a bump out near the Whitney Center. The design can be viewed on the engineering web site engineering@hamden.com. This may be done by public works this year.
  • Canal Trail: Cross walks are going to be installed on streets where walkers on the canal trail have to cross adjacent streets. This is a joint project with New Haven.
  • Davis St: Install sidewalks estimated to happen in spring 2026.
  • Whitney Ave Road Diet and Rte 15 exchange: Updated timeline is later than we hoped – design in 2027 with installation in 2028. We had been told last June that it would be 2025/2026 so this was disappointing. CTDOT is making changes on the Rte 15 interchange off Whitney and is tying the two projects together which we think is the reason for the delay. We have asked the town to request of CTDOT that the work on Whitney happen earlier than the Rte 15 exchange.
