Walker: “Optimistic,” “proud” of deal.
The resident-owners at one of the city’s last cooperative housing developments have reached an agreement to sell the crumbling property to a Meriden-based real estate company, which plans to temporarily relocate them, demolish and rebuild the housing complex, and retain the same number of subsidized affordable housing units for anyone interested in returning to the new facility.
Alders prez Walker-Myers breaks news to neighbors Tuesday night.
New Haveners will receive a slightly higher mid-year car tax bill in January 2018 as the city looks to stay within budget without cutting social services, in the face of reduced state aid.
Chair Florita Gillespie: Tonight we’re voting for this.
The city’s Redevelopment Agency won hard-earned community support on Tuesday night for its bid to use eminent domain to hold slumlords accountable in the Dwight neighborhood.

Pacavisiting Immanuel Baptist.
Sunday morning Immanuel Missionary Baptist Church‘s Associate Pastor Ron Smith — a former city clerk and 2015 mayoral aspirant — preached an impassioned sermon with the theme “Nothing is impossible.”
Those words had particular resonance for one visiting worshipper, Marcus Paca, whose campaign to unseat incumbent Mayor Toni Harp constitutes taking on the New Haven’s Democratic establishment.

The fish run thickest often near the piers of bridges. That’s why several fishermen recently were casting their lines from above the newly finished seawall on the newly repaired promenade at Brewery Square in Fair Haven.
As part of that nearly $1 million state-funded project, there’s a broad new pedestrian walkway and even a crescent of concrete where anglers can set up a circle of chairs to bide the time until there’s a bite.

Dinah Sellers, one of Antillean Manor’s original residents, at Monday night’s meeting.
Residents of Antillean Manor, a subsidized housing complex, voted to reconstitute their long-defunct co-op board — checking off the first requirement in the complicated and controversial process of selling off the property to a developer eager to raze and rebuild it.
City traffic commissioners held off on clearing the way for the proposed west side two-way bike track along Edgewood from Forest Road to Park Street until they hear that the neighborhood’s alders are on board.
A hazmat scare at the Saint Raphael Campus of Yale-New Haven Hospital on Chapel Street has been cleared and turned over to both local and state police for investigation.

Hamilton, Douglass and Walker at the announcement.
They’ve worked together to fight blight and slumlords and to plan for development on Route 34. Now the three alders — dubbed “Three the Hard Way” and the “Three Musketeers” — representing Dwight, Edgewood and West River are seeking another term to focus in on jobs for their constituents.

Tyisha Walker and Amy Marx with residents Thursday evening.
A developer managing the Antillean Manor subsidized housing cooperative failed Thursday to secure the votes it needs to reconstitute the facility’s board — the first step to buying out residents, tearing down the hopelessly deteriorated complex and constructing new mixed-income apartments there.
After nearly three years spent convincing Westville, Edgewood and Dwight neighbors of the benefits of a two-way cycle track stretching from Forest Road to Park Street, city planners found one group left to convince: Republicans.

Yale New Haven Hospital (YNHH) announced it is following up on a promise to provide better outpatient care in New Haven — this time with same-day joint procedures, and a therapy regimen most people can do from home.

Blight in Wooster Square.
Be a good neighbor and not a nuisance, or the city’s Redevelopment Agency might look for a developer to take your property — at fair market value — and tell you to kick rocks.
Or at least that’s what its chairman would like to do.

The city plans to restore a historic West River brownstone that was once pegged for demolition into affordable homes for two working-class families and their future tenants.
The man who figured out that thousands of people would love to live in the center of New Haven — then made it possible — is now battling to remain a part of it.

Neighbors in the Dwight Historic District said they don’t want another raucous sorority in their neighborhood. That’s fine by the members of a sorority that is looking to move in: They don’t plan to be raucous.
