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.

  • Ansonia Train Station
    ANSONIA TRAIN STATION VISUAL INSPECTION REPORT January 2007 Prepared by the Bureau of Public Transportation Connecticut Department of Transportation Ansonia Train Station Visual Inspection Report January 2007 Overview: The Ansonia Train Station is a small rail stop located on West Main Street in downtown Ansonia, one block from Main Street (Route 334). Storefronts line the street opposite the station. Across the track is the Naugatuck River floodwall and floodgate, which are pleasantly clear of graffiti. Between the wall and the tracks is an abandoned roadway with an old wooden post guide rail. Weeds have overtaken the old pavement. The platform area consists of a wooden box and an old wooden canopy on bituminous pavement. A Plexiglas glass shelter sits nearby on a concrete pad. Shrubs obscure the shelter from the street. Several large trees shade the adjacent street. Paths to and from the station use city sidewalks and are illuminated by streetlights. This is small station whose ridership is less than 100 commuters per weekday. Weekend numbers may equal or exceed the average weekday ridership. While only a minor facelift to the canopy and immediate area will make this a more attractive rail stop, ridership numbers will likely not increase until commuter service is perceived to be more reliable.

  • 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.

  • Economic Development Action Plan 2015-2020 Page 2
    2015 Economic Development Action Plan City of Norwalk, CT Norwalk CT Economic Development Action Plan 2015-2020 Page 2 August 2015 Dear Colleagues: Thanks to an enthusiastic and dedicated group of nearly 40 people from a wide variety of sectors -- including business, government, education, culture, tourism and the arts -- I am pleased to present Norwalk’s Economic Development Action Plan. It is a living, dynamic document that we will update periodically, and use as a reference and guide in Board, Commission and Department Head meetings. Many individuals gave considerable time and expertise to assess business needs and identify actions that will make Norwalk an even better place to work, live, shop, play and dine. I am grateful for their time and hard work. I especially want to thank SCORE for facilitating the process, and Elizabeth Stocker, our Director of Economic Development, who coordinated it. Norwalk is a New England maritime community with historic roots. Located in the heart of Fairfield County on Long Island Sound, the City welcomes large corporations, small businesses and entrepreneurs. Norwalk offers economic development expertise and a strong chamber of commerce. Business space ranges from sleek multi-story towers to historical buildings and new mixed-use waterfront developments in the heart of the downtown area. Tourist destinations, hotels, restaurants, and a strong tradition of arts and cultural activities round out this vibrant city. Norwalk is planning for the future by capitalizing on its assets to attract and sustain business, create jobs, develop its workforce, and continuously improve the quality of life for all people. We will continue to partner with major corporations, entrepreneurs and small business owners who call Norwalk home, and reach out to those who might consider locating here.

  • 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:
