1. Notice of EIE for New Parking Garage at Union Station
Municipality where project is proposed: New Haven
Address of Possible Project Location: Union Avenue, New Haven, CT 06519
Project Description: The Connecticut Department of Transportation (Department) is proposing to construct a new multi-level parking facility for Union Station in the City of New Haven. The project area is State of Connecticut property located north of the station and is currently being used as a commuter parking lot. The proposed parking facility will accommodate approximately 1000 parking spaces, thereby expanding commuter parking at the station to address existing and future parking needs. The facility will be designed with consideration to the historic significance, scale, and aesthetic quality of the station building. Stairtowers and a pedestrian bridge (proposed under another project) will allow passengers to access railroad platforms via an overhead route or via the existing route through the station and tunnel. All work will be performed while the existing garage is kept in operation. Occasional modifications to traffic flow at the garage driveways will be necessary to accommodate construction.
