This report is intended as a tool for municipalities to use as they move forward with their TOD efforts. The report identifies the range of TOD opportunities at station areas within the corridor that could result from improvements to the Danbury Branch. By also providing information regarding FTA guidelines and TOD best practices, this report serves as a reference and a guide for future TOD efforts in the Danbury Branch study corridor. Specifically, this report presents a definition of TOD and the elements of TOD that are relevant to the Danbury Branch. It also presents a summary of FTA Guidance regarding TOD and includes case studies of FTA-funded projects that have been rated with respect to their livability, land use, and economic development components. Additionally, the report examines commuter rail projects both in and out of Connecticut that are considered to have applications that may be relevant to the Danbury Branch.

  • Branchville Individual Station Report
    BRANCHVILLE TRAIN STATION VISUAL INSPECTION REPORT January 2007 Prepared by the Bureau of Public Transportation Connecticut Department of Transportation Branchville Train Station Visual Inspection Report January 2007 Overview: The Branchville Train Station is located on Route 7 in the southeast corner of Ridgefield. It is relatively easy to find, although a station sign is needed at each of the two entrances. Vehicular access is provided over two river bridges in varied stages of disrepair. The station is nestled between the Norwalk River, the railroad tracks, Depot Road and Portland Avenue. The station building houses a bakery and gift shop. New sidewalk and black railing separate the full parking lot from the tracks. An awning provides some shelter for patrons of the bakery or waiting commuters. The area is neat, likely from the housekeeping efforts of bakery personnel. A high-level platform with stairs and a ramp provides access to the rail cars. The platform has a full-length canopy and benches. Maintenance Responsibilities: Owner: State Operator: Town Platform Lights: Metro-North Trash: Metro-North Snow Removal: Town Shelter Glazing: Town Platform Canopy: Town Platform Structure: Town Parking: Town Page 2 Branchville Train Station Visual Inspection Report January 2007 Station Layout: Aerial Photo by Aero-Metric, Inc. – Graphics by Urbitran as part of the Rail Governance Study Station Building State-Owned Parking Area Page 3 Branchville Train Station Visual Inspection Report January 2007 Train Station Visual Inspection Parameters: The Connecticut Department of Transportation (Department) recently inspected all 36 New Haven Line train stations to assess their appearance, safety, means of access and overall condition.

  • Danbury Branch Improvement Program Task 5
    W FTA ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS DRAFT/FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT DANBURY BRANCH IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM TASK 5 ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM STATE PROJECT 302-008 SECTION 18: VISUAL RESOURCES MAY 2009 State Project No. 302-008 Connecticut Department of Transportation Danbury Branch Improvement Program AA/DEIS SECTION 18. VISUAL RESOURCES INTRODUCTION This section describes the visual resources in the study corridor. Visual resources contribute greatly to environmental quality, shaping the views and aesthetic experiences of people’s daily lives. Visual resources include natural landscape elements as well as features of the built environment. The quality of the visual experience depends on many factors, including the physical attributes of objects, the combination of objects and features in view, the location of visual elements in relation to the viewer, the condition of the elements, their uniqueness, viewer perceptions, and cultural connotations, among many others. Descriptions of landscape characteristics and features under existing conditions lay the groundwork for evaluating the effects of a project on the visual environment. Regulatory Context There are no federal and state laws that specifically protect visual resources across the board. There are, however, several important references to visual resources within the context of historic preservation and coastal zone management statutes. The implications of these legal protections are described below. At the Federal level, the following legislation is relevant to the project:

  • Greening Mass Transit & Metro Regions: the Final Report
    Greening Mass Transit & Metro Regions: The Final Report of the Blue Ribbon Commission on Sustainability and the MTA State of New York Elliot G. Sander Executive Director & CEO Metropolitan Transportation Authority, NYS 347 Madison Avenue, Seventh Floor New York, N.Y. 10017-3739 Dear Lee, The Blue Ribbon Commission on Sustainability and the MTA is pleased to transmit to you its final report, Greening Mass Transit & Metro Regions. Your decision to empanel this commission, which you convened in the fall of 2007 long before the impact of the global recession was known, turned out to be prescient. As my fellow commissioner Robert Yaro noted, this report calls for a green transformation and expansion of the MTA network, which serves New York City, the Hudson Valley, Long Island and southern Connecticut. Our final report makes scores of recommendations in a number of key areas of sustainability planning. Implementing these recom- mendations will result in the comprehensive greening of our region’s transit system. We made every effort to ensure that our recommendations for greening the MTA also dealt with the economic realities described in the Ravitch Commission Report. As Commissioners, we believe that the recovery of the American economy and future well-being of the metropolitan region will hinge in part on new industries and new jobs created by greening the way we live and the way we work. Our recommendations will not only give the MTA agencies tools for reducing and managing the MTA’s ecological footprint, but also policies and strategies designed to accelerate the rate at which the MTA and the MTA region can reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
