Which city department should residents contact to address parking-related issues?

Residents should contact the Department of Transportation Traffic and Parking (TTP) for traffic-related issues. 

The two primary persons in TTP that residents should contact are:

1. Velisha Cloud- Parking enforcement supervisor (Weekday Daytime)
   • vcloud@newhavenct.gov 203-946-6777; Working hours M-F 8 am-4 pm.

1. Steve Saladino- Parking enforcement supervisor (Weekday Afternoon/Evening and Sat)

1. • ssaladino@newhavenct.gov 203-946-5334; Working hours Tu-Fri 1 pm-9 pm. Sat 9 am-5 pm.

The Department of TTP is closed on Sundays and after 9 pm all other days.

Residents can also call the New Haven Police Department (NHPD) for support, especially on Sundays or after hours. NHPD are issued ticket books to conduct parking enforcement. The police non-emergency number is (203) 946-6316. 

Please remember that parking is prohibited in certain places, such as within an intersection or on crosswalks, and vehicles should not be parked in a space for more than 72 consecutive hours. 

Also, it is prohibited to park in front of and to block/obstruct a driveway. You are subject to being ticketed/towed if you are in violation.

I urge neighbors with multiple vehicles in a household and neighbors hosting special events to exercise courtesy. 

6 August, 2018 – CRASH INVESTIGATION

At 11:37 AM, Firefighter/ EMTs were dispatched to Howard Avenue at First Street regarding a reported pedestrian/ vehicle crash. Police responded to conduct the investigation.

Daycare workers had tried stopping traffic to allow the children in their care to cross Howard Avenue. Two children (believed to be between 3 and 5 years old) were struck by a motorist as they tried to cross.

The motorist stopped and has cooperated with the investigation. The children have been taken to the Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. Both have remained conscious and alert.

The investigation is on-going. No conclusion has yet been determined as to fault
