The best #education journalism in the United States: "Bailey spent the year following an undocumented student who was top of the class, but whose immigration status kept her from receiving a scholarship for valedictorians at the University of Connecticut. After Bailey’s story, the university changed its policy." https://kappanonline.org/how-to-excel-at-in-school-reporting-russo-connolly/ #journalism #nhv #connecticut

"New Haven is planting 1,200 white oaks and chestnut oaks in park spaces this spring, as part of a multi-state Native Oak Regeneration experiment. The idea is to monitor the soil and see how each tree fares in order to apply the lessons in future replanting on a much larger scale."

"What Could Have Been details the history of the effort to found a Black college in #NewHaven in [1830]. At the time, #NHV was the co-capital of the state and had one of the most educated populaces in the US. #Yale was the biggest college in the country." The case led directly to "the Supreme Court’s 1857 decision in Dred Scott, denying free Black people the rights and protections of citizenship and upholding slavery."

(12/n) Another view showing the impact of ongoing highway and parking lot removal discussed in post 10/n.

This is great - includes $400K for pedestrian/bike safety build-outs in #NewHaven. “On Feb. 1, 2023, U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg announced $800M in grant awards for 510 communities through the first round of funding for the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant program.”

#NewHaven took a nasty intersection with weird angles and wide streets, and is currently turning it into an enormous peanut-shaped roundabout with protected cycletracks, pedestrian medians, and a park/garden area inside the peanut, that will limit traffic speeds to about 15MPH or less.

@christosilvia @streetsblogmass High-speed rail from #Boston to #Springfield, where it would connect with the Hartford Line and the Vermonter (or even to Albany to connect to the Adirondack), would be nice. An additional alternative is a new high-speed rail route to #Hartford running along I-84 at 200MPH. From there, a connection to the Vermonter could be made, and this could also significantly speed up travel time to NYC via #NewHaven #NHV. Image is Figure 10 of the #Amtrak NEC Future report.

ICYMI last month, we updated the DataHaven Communities pages with the latest 2021 #Census 5Y ACS data, released just this week. Although many of our other resources, such as our Town Equity Reports, are more comprehensive, these pages are quite popular too. They were designed by a group of national data experts to be super easy to navigate and use!

“Yale Law School students and faculty join[ed] counterparts from the Yale School of #Architecture and the Yale School of Management to create proposals for adding homes to #NewHaven. What helps set the course apart is a commitment from the state of #Connecticut for up to $3 million in funding for projects deemed feasible.”

The most pleasant and walkable #cities in the United States do not have limited access highways in their downtowns.

4 aerial photos: #Madison, #NewHaven, #AnnArbor (with #Hartford provided for contrast).

Although it may not be apparent to a driver, few businesses or human activities can succeed in areas close to the noise, traffic, and pollution of large highways. Planners should be working on urban #highwayremoval, not expansions.

“Only 1.8 percent of New Haven’s housing stock was vacant at the beginning of December — a lower vacancy rate than the state’s 2.1 percent (the lowest of any US state) and the nation’s 5.6 percent.” The result? Skyrocketing #evictions and displacement due to lack of housing supply

Skateboarders comfortably using the city streets are the “indicator species” of a healthy, walkable downtown.

The heavy rain, followed by a rapid 40-degree drop in temperature overnight, created miles of amazing ice sculptures and frozen foam along a fast-moving river in #NewHaven
