Human beings were seen jogging, walking, and hanging out at the urban renewal-devastated corner of Legion and Dwight — in an architectural sketch displayed at a groundbreaking for a project aiming to make that dream a reality.

Over the next five years, the Connecticut Department of Children and Family Services, the Department of Public Health and the City of New Haven will receive $4 million in federal funds to prove that providing integrated physical and mental health services improves outcomes for the city’s youngest children, particularly those who live in the Dwight neighborhood.
Yale-New Haven Hospital promised to find $65 million in annual cost savings when it took over the Hospital of St. Raphael. Two years later, it has exceeded that goal without cutting the workforce, according to its top exec.

Dwight management team chair Curlena McDonald speaks with zoning staff after the decision.
Developers of a proposed Marriott Residence Inn on Whalley Avenue were granted more time to talk with Dwight neighbors before continuing with their quest for zoning relief.
A scheduled kiss-and-make-up meeting between Dwight neighbors and the proposed builder of a new six-story 115-room Marriott Residence Inn turned into a mass denunciation of the plan — when the developer failed to show.
Dorthula Green urges zoners to let neighbors’ voices be heard.
After the project initially seemed bound for easy approval, neighbors lined up to urge city zoners not to let the Marriott build a new residence inn on Elm Street behind its Whalley Avenue hotel — at least not until Dwight has more say.

After an hours-long public hearing Thursday evening, city lawmakers voted to recommend rezoning 16.2 acres of vacant land along Rt. 34, between Ella T. Grasso Boulevard and Dwight Street.
Michael, a wanted man carrying a loaded stolen gun, got to meet six of his new Dwight neighbors at once, in a back alley. Unfortunately for him, they were six rookie cops.
