Thanks to lucky timing, the lumber’s arriving at Tower Lane construction site, where Carlos Rivera (below) was hard at work this week.

Sgt. Marshall preps canvassers.
At a corner where two men were shot last Thursday, 10 Hill neighbors and cops gathered to go door to door to offer people reassurance and seek some sort of solution to the current wave of violence.
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.

Even if you didn’t make any income in 2020 … and even if you don’t usually file taxes … you may want to file a tax form this year. Because you may be eligible for thousands of dollars under the American Rescue Plan.
At stake are $1,400 stimulus checks for each household adult, and a $250 per-child child tax credit.

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.
Main branch’s Sharon Lovett-Graff and Alana Delgado: Please come back! We missed you.
The doors were wide open again at the public library’s main branch — and two patrons were found browsing through the wide variety of nonfiction books in the stacks.
Staffers are trying to get the word out so more New Haveners come back inside.

State DOT
Proposed pedestrian safety upgrades.
The city plans to sell a small portion of publicly-owned land near the Ella T. Grasso-Orange-Columbus-Davenport Avenue intersection to the state Department of Transportation (DOT) to help facilitate long-awaited pedestrian safety improvements to New Haven’s deadliest stretch of road for pedestrians.
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.
