Seymour Seymour has a small facility and a lease for just the parking facility and not the station structure or platform. Also, in lieu of a lease payment to the State, they administer the parking program. They also do not have to reinvest any surplus in improvements. The town had not been not aware that they had to keep up the parking area but once they found out they have done so. They feel that the station contributes little to the community and therefore the station should be kept up by CDOT. They thought that the parking was all on town property, but the lease shows otherwise. The signage for parking says two hours, but people can get a pass either for a day or for a year for a nominal fee. This is not widely known. There are few complaints about the station; the only significant one was about a vagrant who has since passed away. CDOT agreed to paint and clean the building, and the town has agreed to maintain the area, do landscaping, and keep the pavement in good condition. Over the next five years, the town would like to have more service, but otherwise they have no plans for the station. Derby and Ansonia A joint meeting was held at the Valley Regional Planning Agency with staff of the agency and a representative of Derby. Ansonia asked to be represented by the VRPA Executive Director. Derby holds a lease with CDOT for the station and parking, and in turn the city sublets the building to the Valley Regional Planning Agency, which occupies offices there. There is not written agreement between the City and VRPA. VRPA then has a sublease agreement with a vendor operating a coffee shop in the building. The State has a small Department of Motor Vehicles office in the building as well, which is perceived as a benefit to the Valley community. Congressman Maloney pays a small sum to use one of the conference rooms once a week for three hours. VRPA is responsible for maintenance of the interior space, although CDOT helps pay for any significant repairs such as carpeting, a boiler, or other capital replacements. Therefore, VRPA is truly doing routine operations and maintenance on a day to day basis. The coffee shop staff maintains the waiting room in exchange for free rent. This is deemed mutually beneficial, as it gives the station an on-site presence, provides customers with some amenities, and keeps the area clean on a regular basis. They feel that the platform needs better maintenance. Overall they are pleased with the response they get from CDOT staff, but feel that a lot of the arrangements are done on a personality basis and not via the contractual relationship. The City is happy with the lease arrangement with CDOT. The City plows, maintains plantings, and maintains the parking lot, although CDOT provides grants when major repairs are needed. Parking is free. There are 96 CDOT spaces in the lot, and parking is plentiful. There are no revenues so there is no reinvestment fund. The City does spend some money on maintenance and upkeep, but there is no rail line item in the City budget. CDOT provides grants when non-routine items are needed, as described above. The City may have some desire in its long range planning to use this location to create a full 30 Parking Inventory and Utilization URBITRANR EPORT URBITRAN Prepared to Connecticut Department of Transportation S ubmitted by Urbitran Associates, Inc. Task 2:Technical Memorandum Parking Inventory and Utilization Seymour The Seymour Rail Station has surface parking with 22 spaces. All of the spaces at the lot are considered 2-hour parking spaces. There is one handicapped space at the rail station. The station spaces appear to be mixed-use spaces, as there is a commercial and retail district adjacent to the rail parking. The usage rate for the station was 72.7%. However, due to the mixed-use nature of the lots, it was impossible to determine how many spaces were designated for rail commuters and, in turn, how many cars belonged to rail station users. Parking Area Ownership Seymour Rail Station parking spaces close to the Station are owned by the Town of Seymour. Parking lots north and south of the station are owned by the State of Connecticut and account for approximately 80 spaces. All of the lots are used for mixed-use purposes. Because of the mixed- use nature of the lots further from the Station, it can be said that the State owns none of the rail commuter parking at the Seymour Station. Parking lot configuration and ownership status are shown in Figure 36. Fee Structure There is no charge for parking at the Seymour Rail Station. Table 36 presents specific information on the parking area immediately adjacent to the Seymour Rail Station.

The lot appears to be shared with downtown stores. A portion of the lot had parking for Fleet Bank personnel and patrons.

Waterbury Branch All communities except for Naugatuck were represented during the stakeholder process, although Waterbury was represented by the Chamber of Commerce and Ansonia by the Valley Regional Planning Agency. Waterbury The Chamber of Commerce was designated by the Mayor as the representative for these discussions. The first issue that was raised concerned the parking lot, and the lack of clear directions regarding what is city parking for the station and what is SNET parking. The lot itself is unpaved and poorly marked. There is no lease between the City and CDOT for the station or parking lot, and the City has no responsibilities regarding them. The Chamber representatives stated that they could not speak to policy issues and the City’s attitude towards the station or rail service except in general terms. In that regard, the basic desire is to have more service on the Waterbury branch, and to construct a new intermodal terminal for buses and rail in the city. There is a study underway for such a facility, and site locations as they impact on local businesses and the transit network are currently under review.

  • Combined with a New Devon Station from Alternative W-13, the Passing
    Waterbury and New Canaan Branch Lines Needs and Feasibility Study Phase II Report Combined with a new Devon Station from Alternative W-13, the passing siding located south of Beacon Falls Station could also support hourly shuttles in both directions between Waterbury and the New Haven Line via a transfer at Devon Station. The northern location for the siding would not support hourly shuttles in this instance because it would shift the meet location three to four minutes closer to Waterbury in each direction, resulting in turn times at Devon that are operationally infeasible. The conceptual capital cost for constructing this alternative (without CTC) would be $6 million (2008 dollars). 2.3.6 Four Passing Sidings (W-11) This alternative would add four passing sidings on the Waterbury Branch, one north or south of Beacon Falls Station (described above and shown in Figures 3-7 and 3-8); one north of Derby- Shelton Station, from 74+640 to 782+261 (approximately MP 9 to 9.7); one two miles north of the Devon wye; and one two miles south of Waterbury Station (see Appendix B – Waterbury Passing Siding Drawings). The proposed locations would not require any station platform modifications, as trains would pass outside of station limits. All passing sidings would be of sufficient length that, with CTC, trains could enter and leave the sidings at 30 MPH. A RAILSIM TPC run was performed to determine the capacity (minimum headway) improvement achieved by adding both passing sidings. Adding four passing sidings would allow one more non-revenue train to be sent northbound to Waterbury (for an early morning double berth), which would allow an extra southbound morning peak period train to operate.

  • 2018-2021 Public Transportation Transit Asset Management Plan
    2018-2021 Public Transportation Transit Asset Management Plan Tier I Plan in accordance with 49 CFR §625.5 September 2018 This page intentionally left blank CTDOT PT-TAMP This page intentionally left blank CTDOT PT-TAMP Message from the Commissioner It is my pleasure, as Commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT), to present the State’s initial Public Transportation Transit Asset Management Plan (TAMP). This plan goes beyond federal mandates and demonstrates a strong commitment to achieving a State of Good Repair for our transportation system. Connecticut’s transportation system is multimodal and supports the economy by enabling the efficient movement of people, goods, and services. Connecticut is a vital transportation link between northern New England and New York, New Jersey and the Mid- Atlantic states. The transportation system also links our communities; helping connect neighborhoods, towns, and cities. In order for Connecticut’s economy to function properly and grow, the transportation system must be maintained and updated. This document presents a plan developed in partnership with CTDOT Public Transportations’ statewide service providers, to achieve a systematic and comprehensive asset management system for the State’s public transportation assets to provide safe and reliable service for the citizens of Connecticut. Implementation of this plan will align with the Department’s priority to maintain and preserve the transportation system. James P. Redeker Commissioner CTDOT PT-TAMP This page intentionally left blank CTDOT PT-TAMP Disclaimer The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) has prepared this Transit Asset Management Plan (TAMP) in accordance with 49 CFR 625.5 and pursuant to the further guidance and direction of the Federal Transit Administration.
