Darien, Connecticut 2006 Town Plan of Conservation & Development
DARIEN, CONNECTICUT 2006 TOWN PLAN OF CONSERVATION & DEVELOPMENT Effective June 25, 2006 Darien Town Plan of Conservation & Development Adopted: May 23, 2006 Effective: June 25, 2006 Planning & Zoning Commission Members: Patrick J. Damanti, Chairman Frederick B. Conze, Vice-Chairman Joseph H. Spain, Secretary Peter Bigelow Ursula W. Forman David J. Kenny Traffic and Transportation Consultant: URS Corporation Environmental Resources Consultant: Fitzgerald & Halliday, Inc. Graphics work in Chapter 9: Wesley Stout Associates PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION’S STATEMENT OF PURPOSE Section 8-23 of the Connecticut General Statutes requires that local planning commissions prepare a Plan of Conservation and Development (“Plan” or “Town Plan”) at least once every ten years. The Town of Darien has been creating and implementing such plans for over 40 years. The Town Plan is just that - a plan/a vision/a roadmap. The Town Plan offers various projects and directions, many of which can be implemented on a variety of levels and scopes. The Plan has specifically been developed without a cost/benefit analysis and without a priority list of projects. The development of the costs, affordability, priorities, and other issues are left to the involved private sector parties and the appropriate town boards at the time that the projects are recommended for implementation. The fundamental goal has been, and continues to be, the preservation and enhancement of an attractive suburban living environment, but within those broad parameters are numerous factors which must be addressed to best assure achieving that goal. This Plan is the Town's most recent attempt to guide private and public participants toward this goal. -

Report Archaeological Sensitivity Assessment
REPORT ARCHAEOLOGICAL SENSITIVITY ASSESSMENT CP243 INTERLOCKING NORWALK AND WESTPORT, CONNECTICUT State Project No. 0301-0181 Prepared for HNTB Corporation Boston, Massachusetts By Archaeological and Historical Services, Inc. Storrs, Connecticut For submission to The Connecticut Department of Transportation Author: Sarah P. Sportman, Ph.D. June 2016 i ABSTRACT AND MANAGEMENT SUMMARY The State of Connecticut, through the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT), is constructing a new universal interlocking along the Metro North New Haven Railroad Line (NHL) east of the East Norwalk Station in Norwalk, Connecticut. CTDOT is constructing a new universal interlocking along the New Haven Line (NHL) east of the East Norwalk Station in Norwalk, Connecticut (CP-243; State Project No. 0301-081). Construction of a new universal interlocking at CP-243 and system upgrades from the South Norwalk Station to east of the Saugatuck River in Westport will improve operations along the NHL, including the ability of the Metro-North system to accommodate Express-Local train overtakes and limited headways between trains. The CP-243 project will help facilitate the construction of rail infrastructure projects on the NHL, particularly related to track outages, while maintaining rail service through the area. The new interlocking will include track realignment and crossovers and new track switches from approximately Strawberry Hill Avenue to the Norwalk-Westport town line [corresponding to Milepost (MP) 43.0-43.5]. New signals will be installed from the South Norwalk Station (including CP-241) in South Norwalk to approximately 500 feet east of the Saugatuck River in Westport, for a distance of approximately 3.5 miles and will include signal houses (two, each at approximately 10’ x 20’). -
