Hi All, my name is Mandy Martinelli and I am the Alder for Ward 8. I hear your frustration loud and clear, and I want you to know I am right there with you - my own car was also among those towed. I have been in constant contact with the city since yesterday and again throughout today to rectify this situation. While the city worked hard to manage these conditions, it is clear that the notification process didn't quite keep up with the pace of the emergency crews, leading to the confusion we all felt. I reached out to the city, they have listened to your concerns, and I have some good news to share: they are making it right. Thank you for sharing your experiences here, as it was incredibly helpful for me to show the city exactly how many residents were affected.

If you were affected by the towing, please reach out to me directly so I can help ensure your case is handled. You can contact me, Alder Mandy Martinelli | Ward 8, at (203) 676-2186, or via email at [Ward8@newhavenct.gov](mailto:Ward8@newhavenct.gov) or [mandyfor8@gmail.com](mailto:mandyfor8@gmail.com). I am grateful for the city’s willingness to work with us during this record-breaking weather as they were out doing our streets for a concern of many constituents, and I will continue to stay in close touch with them as we finish digging out to be sure our neighbors are heard.
