What happened to the so-called "ATV Hotline"?
http://www.newhavenindependent.org/index.php/archives/entry/atv_crackdown/ The article concludes,"He urged people to keep calling the tip line at 203-946-6298 to share information anonymously, and tell the police where the bikes are being stored. He also passed out a stack of business cards with his contact information so they could contact him personally." This was only five months ago.
Only five months ago. Now people who call 203 946-6298 are told this is not a dirt bike hotline. ATV's are now swarming the city, negatively impacting the quality of life. Can anything be done, or do we have to wait until an innocent driver, bicyclist, or pedestrian is killed?

That is the normal police number.
I was walking across town yesterday, to a church event, and saw 3 or 4 bikes going the wrong way on,, I forget whether that was York or High, or Park.. but they definitel were taking up a whole lane going the wrong way.

Following is an email I which I sent to "kjacobsen," who I'm assuming is the person interviewed in the November article.
I'm trying to make sense of the morass of bureaucracy regarding the many ATV violations and why little seems to be done by the City of New Haven. On Sunday, ATVs seemed to be everywhere, snarling traffic and violating the law.
On the website "See, Click, Fix" there were a number of complaints. No police presence anywhere that I could see.
I did some googling and found this article from last November: "Top Intel Cop Promises ATV Crackdown" [link in original post] Callers to an "ATV Tip Line" 203-946-6298 provided in the article are now told pointedly that it is NOT an ATV tip line.
I also tweeted Doug Hausladen, who I assumed, wrongly it seems, that a Director of Transportation would have some influence on the control of ATVs, which are, after all, a means of transportation. I was apparently misinformed.
I then contacted my Alder, Aaron Greenberg, who contacted Sgt. Roy Davis, the Downtown District Manager on my behalf. Thus we learned that Sgt.Davis is on vacation and that I should contact you.
Assuming you are the "kjacobson" interviewed in the New Haven Independent article, I guess we've come full circle. ATV's are now swarming the city, negatively impacting the quality of life. Can anything be done, or do we have to wait until an innocent driver, bicyclist, or pedestrian is killed?
