Johnny Dye: “There will be holy hell around here.”
Parking is so scarce in parts of the Hill that neighbors put trash bins out on the street to try to preserve coveted parking spots. Homes are so close together that people hear toilets flushing next door.
So neighbors expressed skepticism about proposals to update the city’s zoning rules — including allowing smaller lots sizes and “accessory dwelling units” (or “ADUs,” like garage or mother-in-law apartments) with no parking requirements.

New Haven’s kiosk model with Gar Waterman design.
Hill neighbors heard a plea for addressing a public nuisance plaguing kids on Minor Street, while debating whether a “syringe tree” will create a new threat to kids at a playground near the John C. Daniels School.
Bottle deposit machines on every corner. Breezes free of incinerated trash particles. No litter in sight.

Looking east from College St., towards future site of Temple Crossing.
Get ready for some short-term driving detours around Temple Street and Route 34, to make way for long-term changes stitching Downtown and the Hill back together.
Construction should begin in June on a planned new 10-story, 500,000 square-foot bioscience lab and office tower slated to be built atop the former Route 34 Connector downtown.
One of three PurpleAir sensors set up to monitor air.

Volunteers outside John C. Daniels School.
Cigarette butts, bottle caps, plastic wrappers, and needles disappeared throughout the Hill as part of a spring cleaning event that took place at four locations in the neighborhood Saturday.
Soil contaminated? Have to shlep five gallon buckets of water by hand to your thirsty veggies because no spigot is nearby? Is a zoning conundrum blocking you from planting a garden in the first place?
Fewer people will step on needles. Fewer kids will be picking them up. And drug users may find a phone number to get life-saving help to save their lives.
That’s the idea behind a plan to bring secure syringe disposal kiosks to New Haven streets.

Get those dogs back on their leashes. Kindly ask the old gents to remove their dominoes tables from the walking paths. And be forewarned: there’ll be no more cars parking partially on the sidewalk blocking passage.

The murals would cover the beige walls on both sides of Five Star Laundromat on Washington Avenue.
