Gripevine

March 29, 2018 By whvoice

Dear Eleanore Turkington:

I am writing to complain about the trash that has accumulated on the Highland Street Hill. Can you help us clean this area up?

MN

Dear MN:

Your frustration, I hope, has ended relating to the condition of Highland Street Hill. I contacted Louis Esposito, Jr., Executive Assistant to Mayor Nancy Rossi:

Esposito responded to your complaint with, “I checked with my supervisor; the Highland Street complaint has been gone through recently. “

The following letter from West Haven resident, MN, arrived on my desk recently regarding the Highland Street Hill littering of trash:

Dear Eleanore Turkington:

I’m the person who complained about the accumulated trash on both sides of the Highland Street Hill.

Well, I just wanted to convey my appreciation to all that were involved in the cleanup; E. Mitch Gallignano and West Haven Public Works. I was so pleased to see multiple trucks involved in the cleanup as well as the truck that washed both sides of the street. I am so thankful to all of you and a special “shout out, well done” to Public Works.

MN

Dear Eleanore Turkington:

There is a large damaging pot hole on Greta Street. Can someone come and repair it, PLEASE.

Bumpy

Dear Bumpy:

Gripe Vine has been informed that this pothole will be repaired and should be repaired by the time you read this response from Louis P. Esposito, Jr., Executive Assistant to the Mayor.

Dear Eleanore Turkington:

There are potholes on both sides of Plainfield Avenue. When will these damaging areas be fixed? Sure is hard on our cars. Please help, Eleanore

PO

Dear PO:

By now, these potholes should be filled by Public Works. Gripe Vine was assured by the mayor’s Executive Assistant, Louis P. Esposito, Jr. that the potholes have been filled and completed. Please let me know if they ARE NOT!

Dear Eleanore Turkington:

The crosswalk light doesn’t work at Chamber to Richard Street at 774 Campbell Ave. Can you get it repaired?

Concerned Walker

Dear Concerned Walker:

Gripe Vine has been assured by the Mayor’s Executive Assistant, Louis P. Esposito, Jr. that the Traffic Division at the West Haven Police Department has been notified of this condition. Let me know if is not!

Dear Eleanore Turkington:

The street light at 160 Post Road remains on during daylight. Let’s save some money here. Can you get this situation remedied, Eleanore?

Energy Conscious

Dear Energy Conscious:

I have been notified that the city’s dispatch will call United Illuminating Company to remedy this situation. Let me know what’s going on with this light, please.

Gripe Vine Readers:

If you see an incident or condition that displays danger or in need of repair or service, or any issue that you feel needs addressing, write to me at gripevine4wh@aol.com or send a letter explaining such concerns to Gripe Vine c/o West Haven Voice, 666 Savin Ave. Please include your name, address and phone number, kept strictly confidential with me.
