At approximately 1:20 PM on September 8, 2022, I witnessed a woman I believe, from the badge she was wearing, to be an employee of the City of New Haven, trip on one of the numerous trip hazards on the access ramp to the back door to New Haven City Hall.

Changes in vertical level other than the slope of the ramp itself are not allowed on access ramps. An engineering degree is not needed to know that individual paving blocks will respond independently to seasonal weather changes and shift in different directions at different rates and create trip hazards.

It should be noted that there is a ballot drop box at the top of this ramp that is not accessible to voters who have a disability.
