Project Description: The Connecticut Department of Transportation (Department) is proposing to replace the Department's original parking garage located at the Stamford Transportation Center in Stamford, CT through a public-private partnership agreement that will include Transit-Oriented Development (TOD). Up to $35 million dollars in bond proceeds are available from the State of Connecticut relative to the replacement garage. The original grarage at the Stamford Transportation Center provides some 727 spaces and was constructed in the 1980's, while a second garage provides an additional 1,200 parking spaces and will remain. The public-private partnership will include demolition of the original multi-level parking garage and the creation of 1,000 (minimum) commuter parking spaces within a 1/4 mile of the Stamford Transportation Center, possible improvements to the Stamford Transportation Center, improvements to Station Place, and the construction of TOD components within a 1/2 mile of the Stamford Transportation Center. Prior to demolition of the original garage, at least 727 parking spaces will be provided in the vicinity.
