5. Notice of Scoping for Windham Intermodal Transportation Center
Municipality where proposed project might be located: Windham
Address of Possible Project Location: 17 Walnut Street
Project Description:The Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD) is proposing to provide financial assistance to the Town of Windham in order to construct a new Intermodal Transportation Center (ITC) on Walnut Street.
The Windham ITC is a proposed 292-space municipal parking garage which will dedicate 251 spaces to the public and the remaining 41 spaces will be dedicated to the Town's police department. The public use will either be hourly or long-term rates through the chosen facility operator's parking permit process. There is new 265 unit housing development being proposed on Main Street. There is also significant investment being made the Town in the form of a senior center, town green, and bandshell which will increase traffic downtown and create a parking demand. The ITC will also improve the commuter bus service into the downtown. There are public transit commuters that can access commuter bus service between the Windham Regional Transit District, Peter Pan, Eastern CT State University Shuttle and connections to CT FastTrak. Currently these services are disconnected and not coordinated.
