2. Notice of Scoping for New Haven Rail Yard Maintenance of Way Building and Parking Lot

Municipality where proposed project might be located: New Haven

Address of Possible Project Location: 1 Brewery Street, New Haven CT

Project Description: The proposed project, which is part of the overall New Haven Rail Yard Facilities Improvements program, consists of demolishing the existing 113,000 square foot freezer warehouse and constructing an approximately 25,000 square foot Maintenance of Way (MOW)  facility to house the Metro-North Railroad (MNR) personnel who maintain the main line and rail  yard infrastructure. This includes the Track, Structures, Power, and Communication & Signals (C&S) Departments. The remainder of the property will be graded and paved for employee parking.

Existing Brewery Street will be relocated as part of this project, so that it runs through the center of the 1 Brewery Street property. The proposed Brewery Street relocation would also require acquiring a partial take from the IKEA property just east of the 1 Brewery Street property and would require rearranging the access easements on the Hummel Brothers property to the west. This would provide better geometry for the relocation and it’s tie-in to the existing street system.
