  • CHAPTER 6: SERVICES and INFRASTRUCTURE Introduction
    Chester 2009 Plan of Conservation and Development Page 6‐1 CHAPTER 6: SERVICES AND INFRASTRUCTURE Introduction Town services and infrastructure are the framework on which the community network operates, progresses, and interacts. Town services include governing boards and commissions, social services, recreational programs, education, public safety, and public works. Infrastructure incorporates tangible facilities that can be moved, expanded, modified, or removed. The library, town hall, community center, transportation, communications, parks, trails, water, sewer, fire stations, and schools are some of the significant facilities that enhance community character and quality of life. This Plan of Conservation and Development explores Chester’s services and infrastructure to provide recommendations to address future needs. To coordinate efficient and effective town planning, multiple services need to be supported by mutually shared infrastructure. A caveat in final recommendations within this section of the plan is the ability of the town to legally act within the context of enabling statutes outlined by the State of Connecticut. There are also policies and standards outlined by the state and federal government which the town follows in the context of receiving state funding or use of state property. Chester has significant acreage dedicated to state or regional ownership; parks, forest, regional watershed, and transportation. The town’s ability to coordinate future planning goals with infrastructure improvements in parks, roads, and utilities

  • The Reality of Failing to Fund Transportation
    The Reality of Failing to Fund Transportation “I depend on VTD to get me to work and If I don’t have you guys to get me back and forth to work, what am I going to do? I’m struggling now at the $3.50 level and now am possibly I going to the $4 level – that’s $8 dollars a day to go back and forth to work! I really depend on this service; it is a good service. I hope everything works out. I really depend on VTD to get me where I have to go, and that is mainly to work.” Tonya C., Valley Transit District bus rider Prepared by the Connecticut Association For Community Transportation (CACT) 1 “A strong transportation system is critical to the economy of the state, and it’s certainly no coincidence that we have lost Connecticut-based businesses to those states that have such a transportation system.” Jim Gildea, President, Connecticut Commuter Rail Council Proposing a Dead State: Transportation & Infrastructure in 2018 and Beyond CACT has long been advocating for a strong Connecticut by supporting the criss-crossing lifeline infrastructure that is Connecticut’s transportation. Indeed, every year, more and more people rely on public transportation to get to and from work, to schools, universities, healthcare visits, shopping and to see family and friends. A vital and robust transportation network is fundamental to Connecticut’s prosperity: now and in the future. It just makes sense: if people can’t get to where they’re going, they’ll either not get there (loss of money, loss of spending, loss of time) or start the dangerous consideration that compared to other states, Connecticut lacks the necessary arteries to conduct business.

  • Transit Service Enhancements Analysis
    Feasibility Study I-95 Corridor Branford to Rhode Island November 2003 Transit Service Enhancements Analysis Prepared for: Clough, Harbour & Associates LLP 2139 Silas Deane Highway Suite 212 Rocky Hill, CT 06067 Prepared by: PARSONS 655 Winding Brook Drive Glastonbury, CT 06033 Transit Service Enhancements Analysis 1.0 INTRODUCTION This report describes an analysis of potential transit service improvements in the I-95 corridor between Branford (Exit 54) and the Rhode Island state line. The analysis was intended to determine whether a set of in-state transit improvements could serve as a stand-alone alternative to adding capacity along I-95 to relieve summer Friday peak hour traffic congestion. The analysis was based upon the following: · Application of the state’s existing transportation demand estimation model as the basic tool for forecasting the year 2025 diversion of normal weekday travelers to transit. This application is consistent with the data developed for the remainder of the Feasibility Study. · Application of a methodology developed to estimate additional potential diversion for summer Fridays, especially for visitors to Southeastern Connecticut. These leisure travelers are not explicitly represented in the state’s weekday model. · The analysis concentrated on the summer Friday peak hour travel period. This application is consistent with the focus of the remainder of the Feasibility Study. · The modifications considered for transit would be limited to those that could be reasonably achievable within the State’s resources and jurisdiction. In effect, this focused on transit services within the state of Connecticut, and excluded both reconstruction and significant modifications to Amtrak’s Shore Line between New Haven and Rhode Island, and service or pricing strategies on interstate common carriers.

  • Connecticut Public Transportation Commission Minutes of March 6, 2014
    Connecticut Public Transportation Commission Minutes of March 6, 2014 Fourth Floor Conference Room Union Station, New Haven Attendance: Members: Alan Sylvestre, Yvonne Loteczka, Richard Sunderhauf, Mort Katz, Robert Rodman, Russ St. John, Ed McAnaney, Bill Kelaher, Chris Adams. Ex-officio members: David LeVasseur (OPM), Fred Riese (DEEP). Guests: Joseph Comerford (Estuary Transit District). Administrative Vice Chairman Fred Riese called the meeting to order at 1:35 pm. He noted that Chairman Kevin Maloney was attending a Freedom of Information Commission hearing this afternoon in regard to a complaint filed against ConnDOT and the Commission in connection with the Commission’s August 2013 meeting at ConnDOT. The minutes of the meeting of February 6 were then approved as written. Featured Speaker Joseph Comerford, Executive Director of the Estuary Transit District, explained that the District serves the nine member towns of Old Saybrook, Old Lyme, Chester, Clinton, Deep River, Essex, Killingworth, Lyme and Westbrook, as well as providing transit service in Haddam and East Haddam under contract. The Estuary Transit District was founded in 1981. For the first twenty years, it did not provide much service and was, until fairly recently, largely serving a ridership base of senior citizens. However, the District has seen substantial growth in the last five years. The Estuary Transit District (ETD) uses a fleet of 13 body-on-chassis vehicles to operate four routes. These are the Shoreline Shuttle from the Old Saybrook train station along Route 1 to Madison, the Riverside Shuttle from Old Saybrook to Chester Center, the Southeast Shuttle from Old Saybrook to Old Lyme and New London, and the Mid-Shore Express from Old Saybrook train station to the Middletown bus terminal.
