SCSU Garage
Hi All:
SCSU presented their updated Master Plan last week. They still want to put a 250 car garage at the bottom of the Ella T. Grasso Blvd & Crescent. This is not good. There was coverage on the story by NHI. There is a petition going around also even thought the official time frame passed it is a good idea to sign on.
I would like thank Toni Walker our State Representative & Carl Goldfield - Alderman Ward 29 for coming to the hearing and voicing their opposition to the garage as well.
Check in the comments section of the NHI story for my comments.
Yours,
Moti

Recent Meetings
Hi All:
I just wanted to give you an update on some of the meeting I was at this past week:
Monday - Full BOA Meeting
Tues - WEB Meeting
Tues - DPUC Meeting
At the WEB Meeting we found out that Lt. Collier is leaving the NHPD. He was on the job with us for 6 months. We wish him well in his new position. Chief Lewis was there along with Asst. Chief Gillespie and they promised us that the District will not be disbanded and that he plans to have a new District Manager in place by mid to late January.
I the left WEB Meeting a bit early because I wanted to get to the DPUC to give testimony against an increase. I did get there in time and heard from a number of passionate people who - all had the same message "Don't punish us for conserving energy & don't raise our rates". You can see my testimony at this link. Also want to note that it appears that the UI is going to take it's HQ out of New Haven and move to Orange. Not good for New Haven, I asked the CEO of UI to think about staying and I got no positive response, only silence.

Board of Zoning Appeals Hearing - items for the WEB
Hi All:
This is a public service announcement that was mailed out to the WEB mailing list.
The Board of Zoning Appeals has two items on its agenda of interest to the WEB Management Team:
The application by a large laundromat business that hopes to locate in the Walgreen’s Plaza. Their application is for a variance to open with fewer parking places than regulations require.
The application by 50 Fitch St. is for a variance to add a liquor license and live entertainment to their business. (As you may know there was a shooting outside their business on Nov. 3.) Their business is located within 1400 feet of school property.
The BZA hearing will be on Wed Nov.12 at 6:30 at 200 Orange St. Kennedy Hall of Records.

Laundymat on Whalley in Walgreens Plaza
The WEB has started a sub committee called Whalley Avenue Revitalization (WAR) that reports their activities to the WEB on a monthly basis. This group consists of:
The president & executive director of WASSD
A representative from the City Office of Economic Development
The Police District Manager
The president of the WEB
Two resident representatives of the WEB (one of which is the co-chair)
An Alderman
We focus on the issues facing Whalley Ave and how to overcome them. One issue was the cleanliness of the street. WASSD increased their payment by maximum amount allowed by their charter and will do so for the next 2 to 3 years to bring in enough revenue to service the district properly. The city is coming forward with funds and city resources to augment what WASDD is doing. Simple things like fixing the street lights that are out to trimming trees that have not been trimmed in years. The city is also helping out with façade program money that many other parts of the city already get.
All of the stakeholders mentioned above are working on a vision for Whalley to make it a place where everyone will want to shop & dine at and feel safe doing it. This is a massive undertaking and it will take time for some of the grand vision changes but small changes have taken place. The closing of Newt’s Bar on the corner of Whalley and Winthrop and the rebuilding of Chucks Luncheonette are some of the immediate changes.
When the shopkeepers on the strip know that people care they will start to take pride in their work. For the first time in years Minories is taking care of his property and has started working on a new façade and signage for his store. This was in good part to the combined efforts of WAR. We are not stopping with him.
An integral part of this all is making sure that we get quality stores to move on the strip. I agree that we can not have any more “brown bag” liquor stores or connivance stores that sell crack pipes, Philly Blunts and other drug paraphernalia with impunity. We also need to make sure that the stores don’t become hangouts (like L & A Deli, Whalley Pizza, Sam’s Store, just to name a few).
WASSD is working on a “Leakage Study” – a study showing what the residents of the area are buying outside the area because they can’t be serviced here. It is my hope that this study will be taken seriously and we can fill some of the open storefronts with what the community and WASSD wants and needs, and that the property owners look at what they are putting in and not just jump on the first call.
In order to change Whalley we need to put a higher caliber establishment in that takes pride in their store and neighborhood. If it can't happen with this store let us make it happen in the future.

Endorsement of State Rep Toni Walker
Hi All:
As you may be aware, there is a race for the State Representative position in the 93rd District. Jackie James is running against Toni Walker.
I would like to take this opportunity to wholly & enthusiastically endorse our current State Rep Toni Walker.
Toni has treated me fairly & honestly even when she could have done otherwise.
She has been one of the City's strongest allies in Hartford in this budget mess. She looks out for the concerns and needs of the neighborhood, from everything from the Whalley Avenue Jail problem to stopping SCSU from putting a 550 car garage at the intersection of the Ella T. Grasso Blvd & Crescent Street.
I believe that Toni is an asset to the District, the City & State. She is the right person for the job and is dedicated to it.
I have worked with her and look forward to continuing working with her to make the City a better place to live, work & play.
Yours truly,
Moti Sandman

Heating Oil Crisis
From our neighbor, Peaches Quinn
I learned yesterday that the cost of home heating fuel, right now, is up to as much as $4.94 per gallon ! I cannot be the only one who fears the next call for home heating fuel and what the per gallon cost will be. Likewise, electricity. Is there any end to rising cost?
What I am proposing will not affect the economics of energy globally, but it will positively affect our wallets.
Let us do what smart consumers have done elsewhere: become a group purchaser. Use the numbers of a group to purchase better service, better quality fuel at a reduced cost .
The New Haven Energy Buyers Group
What is it? Residential and business owners band together to purchase energy to reduce our cost. Let's start organizing in our neighborhood focusing on heating oil.
How will it work? Simply put, as many property owners in a location as possible commit to joining the buyers group. I will then put together a request for bids that I send out to local companies. They respond. The best bid is selected and we make a deal.
Does this mean we would have to pay for the fuel up front? NO! It only means all members of the buyers group sign contracts with the selected fuel company. A number of "ways to pay" will be available as they are for an individual deal.
Will furnace service be included? YES, Absolutely!
How quickly do we have to act? Very quickly. July usually begins the new contract year.
What next?
1. Please respond and let me know if you are interested
2. Circulate this note to everyone in our neighborhood (Beaver Hills/Westville) . Ask them to RSVP to me their interest
3. I will announce a "Call to Action" meeting at Hillhouse for those who want to hear more and discuss face to face.
Your thoughts and interest ASAP, PLEASE!

April 18 & 19 - no classes scheduled
Also, Peaches has requested information on decibel levels involved in
the various training and certification exercises which take place on
our shooting range.
It is most likely that the Special Emergency Response Team (SERT) and Hazardous Devices Unit have the highest noise levels but I will defer to their officers-in-charge to provide you with details.
At the chief's suggestion, I will speak with these two officers and ask them to contact you and Peaches directly.
I hope this will help in our joint efforts to ameliorate the range's noise situation.
Sincerely,

Important meeting regarding Route 10
SOUTH CENTRAL REGIONAL COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS
Judy Gott, Executive Director
For Immediate Release March 12, 2008
PRESS RELEASE – April 2 Public Information Meeting for Route 10 Corridor Study
The South Central Regional Council of Governments (SCRCOG) is currently completing a study to identify and assess transportation system needs and deficiencies in the Route 10 corridor between I-95 Interchange 45 in the City of New Haven and Skiff Street in the Town of Hamden. This area includes sections of Ella T. Grasso Boulevard, Whalley Avenue, Fitch Street, Arch Street, and Dixwell Avenue.
An important component of the study process is public outreach to the local community of residents, business people, and commuters who are concerned about transportation and its effect on the livability or quality of life of neighborhoods in and around the Route 10 study corridor. Towards this end, a public information meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday, April 2, 2008 at 7:00 p.m. in the Beecher School gymnasium located at 100 Jewell Street, New Haven. The public information meeting will provide interested citizens an opportunity to learn about the study purpose and initial study findings, and will allow them to provide input to SCRCOG staff and our technical consultant, Clough Harbour & Associates LLP.
In general, the purpose of the Route 10 Corridor Study is to identify and address transportation needs in the corridor relative to safety; traffic operations; pedestrian and bicycle facilities; and transit services and amenities. The study will also investigate opportunities to apply Smart Growth strategies in the corridor and will coordinate transportation system recommendations with municipal land use and development plans.

Towards this end, a public information meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday, April 2, 2008 at 7:00 p.m. in the Beecher School gymnasium located at 100 Jewell Street, New Haven. The public information meeting will provide interested citizens an opportunity to learn about the study purpose and initial study findings, and will allow them to provide input to SCRCOG staff and our technical consultant, Clough Harbour & Associates LLP.
In general, the purpose of the Route 10 Corridor Study is to identify and address transportation needs in the corridor relative to safety; traffic operations; pedestrian and bicycle facilities; and transit services and amenities. The study will also investigate opportunities to apply Smart Growth strategies in the corridor and will coordinate transportation system recommendations with municipal land use and development plans.

March is GO GREEN MONTH
GO GREEN month is a national month of recognition and reminder for everyone to make more effort being environmentally conscious. Just as we make effort to remember the contribution of African American during February Black History Month. This month we should make effort to remember ways to help improve and save the enviornment.
How can you help save the environment and save money at the same time?
Did you know that eating and buying local produce helps boost the local economy and the dollars in your pocket. We save on emissions that are created by trucks carrying foods across the country, which in turns makes the food less expensive.
Imagine that! Eating healthier can benefit your health and your bank account.

Local CT Fitness Guru Offers Unique Alternative to Boring Exercise and Weight Loss Programs: Best Of all it's FREE To Women and Girls who Reside in the New Haven County!
New Haven CT - February 26, 2008
Local fitness guru unveiled the most unique solution for fitness and weight loss boredom yet - BALANCE Outdoor Fitness Boot Camp for women! This alternative to crowded gyms, bogus diets, and clunky home exercise equipment is the fastest growing fitness trend today and because it works - it's here to stay. "Most people have tried the fad diets and trendy fitness gimmicks and have failed. I got tired of seeing that. So I created the most exciting fitness adventure ever. Who doesn't want to burn up to 500 calories per workout and have a ton of fun in the process? And our Free Saturday Boot Camps are just the way to do it!" says Mubarakah Ibrahim, owner of BALANCE fitness Studio for women and head boot camp trainer.
In the U.S., an estimated 60 percent of all adults are overweight, and 20 percent are obese or 100 pounds over their ideal body weight. More men are overweight but more women are obese. Overweight and obese people are more at risk for many chronic and devastating diseases. Boot Camps are designed to encourage women in CT to focus on health and fitness as the national obesity rates grows at an alarming rate. It's a fun "team" training program designed to give participants that extra boost they need. The activities include fun exercises, and team relays specifically designed to burn calories and tone the body. "In addition, the participants will have spent an hour outdoors in a beautiful community park. That doesn't' happen much these days! Honestly, I can't think of a better way to spend my weekend than having an energizing workout and burning some serious calories in a team setting" say Ibrahim, also known as "the Muslim Trainer". To make is even better it's a fun way for me to give back to the community and to help hundreds of local residents get back the body that they deserve," explains Ibrahim.
The FREE Fitness Boot Camps for women will take place every Saturday morning in April at 8:00 am - rain or shine, in a beautiful New Haven Area Park.
Boot Camp Date & Time: Every Saturday at 8:00 AM (Rain or Shine!)
Camp Cost: FREE to New Haven County residents
All participants must register the Thursday at 6:PM before the day of Boot Camp
