The sign makes it official AF. We turned the basement of the sickest brutalist parking structure around into a weather protected, free to use- indoor skatepark. LFG. Thanks @doughausladen @SkateboardSkoob + Bobby Murphy for making it happen. Also, Plush and Cons for the ramps. 🧡

Saddened to learn of the death of Joe Comfort, window-washer par excellence and one of the most beloved of downtown New Haven's many beloved street characters. #RIP

Imagine if New Haven invested 2.5 Million in skateboarding. We’ve done so much with so little but a real commitment from @cityofnewhaven like what Groton, CT is about to do would be epic.
I’m here to say that we’re officially getting the park built! The town took a big voting tonight and not only we’re getting full funding, but also getting an additional 1.4 mil which makes it 2.5 million for the park itself. I’m so proud of everyone. We did it!!

Hell yeah @SkateboardSkoob
New Haven well-represented in the new @TheCTMuseum exhibition on #sports and community, esp. the skateboarding section. Nice shout-out to the Push to Start Program (cc: @benberkowitz) #nhv 🛹

Solar question: we are looking to install solar on our garage to expand our solar footprint. We currently have solar on the roof. The existing company is not taking new contracts due to backlog. Any reason why hiring a separate company would cause a problem?

This is not the picture from a town that accommodates pedestrians or small businesses. Fully disappointed.

51% drop in pedestrians because @cityofnewhaven decision to allow developer to close sidewalk to retail business instead of constructing solution for pedestrians. These two locations are a block away from each other. % change is compared to 2019.

Twice in last month someone has beat me to reporting illegal dumping by only hours in relatively obscure locations. V satisfying.

Really surprised how rewarding door knocking for @LBNewHaven these last few days felt. New Haven is a great home filled with kind and thoughtful people. Volunteering for a campaign like Liam’s was worth all the energy. 10/10. Highly recommend.
