Description
I went to the area on Friday 10.27.2017 night. The Quinnipiac River Park has two sides for reference. A. Grand Ave. and B. and C. Ferry Bridge Side Boardwalk.
A. Grand Ave: There are 36 poles numbered 1-36. Pole 31 is missing. ALL The poles in this area have new replaced heads. At 5.37 PM lights on.
Working lights are less than non-working [and readable in dark]: 9,11,13,15,17,20,22,24,26,28,30,33 [lamp broken inside head],35,36. Note the lamps/poles numbers alternate between working and not working. Every other pole does not work. Except for the cluster #1-8 nearest Grand Ave. does not work.
B. Ferry Bridge Boardwalk: There are 12 standing poles + one missing in the tree row. None of these are working. Many are damaged [tops missing]/broken/debris filled/etc. Most base access plates have been removed exposing the wires [perhaps inspecting power conditions]. The poles/heads poor finish and physical appearance, indicate these are original. According to one on site witness not working for some time; a dog walker -
"maybe 5 years". I asked another older couple who said they lived in an brick condos nearby for 6 years and they have never seen these lights on.
C. Ferry Bridge New Boardwalk: Recent site and boardwalk/railing and grading improvements were done next to Bridge. There are 4 new pole mountings, with in-ground elec./lighting boxes, not installed.

UI is going by to see. All lights in New Haven are New Haven's Traffic and Signal repair responsibility. If there is a meter or power [at source] issue UIL gets involved. They have been contacted as well.
