Description
the right turn lane is almost always blocked on orange st. as people leave their cars to enter the housing authority. this blocks traffic turning onto grove, and creates a major hazard. is there a better solution?

I agree that this location is a major problem. This is a no parking zone for a reason. Each time a parking regulation like this one goes unforced, there is the potential for a serious injury or fatality.
The city's transportation department has identified this street as a major bicycle route as well. To create a more livable street for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists, perhaps the city should consider adding on-street parking on Orange Street, removing the "passing" (aka speeding) lane and reducing lane widths.

This morning (2010-07-13) a stationary delivery truck was parked here during rush hour and contributed to a huge backlog of frustrated drivers and traffic jam at the Trumbull/Orange Street exit ramp intersection.
The no standing/no parking should be aggresively enforced during rush hour.
There is obviously a need for parking here, can't the city carve out a "pullover" set of spaces into the existing concrete plaza.
The traffic was a complete mess this morning.
