FEEDBACK
WHAT DID PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY?
Many pedestrians that we have came across were just visitors or Yale students who have not wandered off from the Yale campus. Many were told to be careful of wandering around past the Yale campus because of crime.
One visitor from Switzerland commented on the size of the roads and gave us their feedback on what makes them feel comfortable walking in cities.
One couple really the interventions Wharf, ones that in nature like added seating,
Overall many were in giving us feedback many were visiting others were not landscape architecture “never really thought it”
12
really enjoyed interventions on Long that are smaller tree plantings, seating, tables etc……
were hesitant feedback since visiting and in realm of architecture / thought about
One pedestrian said that the downtown area gives off a “cold” feeling. They also explained that there are no public recreational areas like basketball courts or volleyball ( Gathering SPaces )courts, which they believe contributes to the “cold” feeling.

A CHANCE TO “START SMALL” AN APPROACH TO NEIGHBORHOOD BUILDINGS THAT USES SHORT-TERM, LOW COST, AND SCALABLE INTERVENTIONS AND POLICY TO CATALYZE LONG-TERM CHANGE. WOOSTER SQUARE COMMUNITY GARDENS FOOD TRUCK PARADISE | LONG WHARF
THE KEY IS STARTING SMALL AND EXPECTING THE FIRST TRY TO A "TEST DRIVE" THAT CAN BE IMPROVED WITH FEEDBACK. PROJECTS ARE REFINED BASED ON PERFORMANCE AND ARE INTERACTIVE PROJECT DELIVERIES. THE CITY OF NEW HAVEN HAS A NUMBER OF TACTICAL URBANISM IN PLACE. RANGING FROM SMALL SCALE GARDENS TO TAKING OVER A ENTIRE ROAD.
