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.

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.
