Parking Garage at Union Station
3. Notice of Scoping for New Parking Garage at Union Station
Municipality where proposed project might be located: 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, and will be limited to seven parking levels. The project also proposes new pedestrian accommodations through the existing garage to enhance access to the station from the proposed parking facility. Direct access to the rail platforms from the proposed facility via a future pedestrian bridge is also being considered in the planning and design stages of this project.
