  • Meriden TOD Market Analysis 11.08.11
    To: Meriden, CT Station Area TOD Analysis Team From: Parsons Brinckerhoff Date: November 8, 2011 Subject: Market Analysis and Station Area Development Potential 1. Background and Objectives The City of Meriden, CT is located in central Connecticut midway between the larger metropolitan areas of Hartford (1.2 million population) to the north and New Haven (862,000 population) to the south. The city of 60,000 people (2010) is well served by I-91, the major north-south Interstate Highway in the State, and I-691, a short east-west connector between I-91 and I-84 near Waterbury to the west. In addition, the Wilbur Cross Parkway (US Route 15) from southwest CT terminates at I-91 in Meriden. Amtrak and Metro North (commuter rail) serve the City with six passenger trains daily in each direction with almost 36,000 boardings/alightings at Meriden station in 2010, the fourth highest number of the eight stations presently served on the 62 mile long line between New Haven and Springfield, MA. Despite this good accessibility, the Meriden City Center has not prospered due in part to a number of competing developments on the periphery of the City: • The Westfield Shopping Center, less than ½ mile away on I-691 has drawn retail demand away from downtown; • Midstate Medical Center, located across from the shopping center, has absorbed most new health related office space demand; • Research Parkway, a research/office park located east of the City Center, despite some properties that are available due to the recession and other competitive factors, has captured most larger scale non-retail commercial demand due to the availability of land and good highway access; • Hotels/motels near the Interstates have absorbed room demand.

    City of Meriden, CT Multi-Modal Improvements for the Transit Oriented Development District 2016 TIGER GRANT Meriden, Connecticut is seeking a $5.2 million TIGER grant to implement its Multi-Modal Roadway Improvement Plan in the downtown Transit Oriented Development (TOD) District.

The project is an outgrowth of a HUD Sustainable Challenge grant and a HUD Choice Neighborhoods Planning grant. The project will address past deficiencies of outdated transportation projects, increase access to the new commuter rail station, and create “Ladders of Opportunity”. The project is a part of a regional commuter rail project that will have a significant impact on New Haven/Hartford area as well as the State of Connecticut and the northeastern United States.
