The c.1970 non-historic facade concealed two historic properties, located at 770-774 Chapel Street and 776-780 Chapel Street, both of which are now considered as contributing to the district's documented commercial architectural development from 1820 to c.1940. The 1920s buildings represent the Chicago Commercial Style and were constructed as New Haven's first "fireproof" structures. Page 7/3 of the National Register documentation is now revised to reflect this change as recommended by the State Historic Preservation Officer and the Mid-Atlantic Regional Office, NPS. Reference: See MARO memorandum, Part I applications, and State Review sheets. Note: The historic district is inadvertently misnamed by the State on the review sheets as the Chapel Street Historic District, they should read the Ninth Square Historic District.

It is the largest seaport in the state and the region and also the first city in Connecticut to have joined the national complete streets movement in 2008 by adopting the City’s Complete Streets Design Manual, balancing the needs of all roadway users including pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists. Journey to Work Data For a U.S. city of its size, New Haven has substantial share (45 Aerial view of New Haven seaport: largest in the state and the region. percent) of commuters who use a form of transportation other than driving alone. Approximately 15 percent of all commuters travel via carpool, close to 14 percent walk to work, while over 11 percent use a form of public transportation. Of the 10 largest cities in New England, only Boston has a higher percentage of residents who travel to work via non-motorized transportation. Also, out of this same group of cities, New Haven ranked highest in the percentage of people who walked to work.

    APPENDIX A Appendix A Sampling Methodology for DataHaven 2015 Survey Respondents are contacted via landline or cell phone. The design of the landline sample is conducted so as to ensure the selection of both listed and unlisted telephone numbers, using random digit dialing (RDD). The cell phone sample is drawn from a sample of dedicated wireless telephone exchanges from within Connecticut and the specified zip codes within New York State. Respondents are screened for residence in the state of Connecticut or one of the seven zip codes in New York. The primary supplier of the RDD landline and cell phone samples is Survey Sampling International (SSI) of Shelton, Connecticut, “the premier global provider of sampling solutions for survey research1”. From the SSI Fact Sheet on Radom Digit Samples (for landline telephone samples): Most SSI samples are generated using a database of “working blocks.” A block (also known as a 100-bank or a bank) is a set of 100 contiguous numbers identified by the first two digits of the last four digits of a telephone number. For example, in the telephone number 255-4200, “42” is the block. A block is termed to be working if one or more listed telephone numbers are found in that block. The sample composition is comprised of random numbers distributed across all eligible blocks in proportion to their density of listed telephone households. All blocks within a county are organized in ascending order by area code, exchange, and block number. Once the quota has been allocated to all counties in the frame, a sampling interval is calculated by summing the number of listed residential numbers in each eligible block within the county and dividing that sum by the number of sampling points assigned to the county.
