ADDITIONAL PROJECT INFORMATION:

The purpose of the project is to replace the aging original parking garage structure for the STC (currently located on Station Place) with a low maintenance, long service life facility that meets the demand for State-owned commuter parking spaces located proximate to the STC. The needs for the project include:

•  Addressing the poor condition and continued degradation of the original garage structure that have precipitated closing of two levels of the garage to traffic and parking;
• Satisfying existing commuter parking demands at the STC;
• Replacing the loss of private commuter parking supply for the STC with State-owned and maintained parking spaces that provide similar convenience and commuter amenity as the existing private parking facilities;
• Meeting customer expectations for availability, accessibility, and convenience of commuter parking accommodations of the STC; and
• Minimizing and managing commuter disruption and commuter parking impacts during the construction of the proposed parking garage.

The new parking garage will provide a net increase of approximately 100 State-owned spaces at the STC.

Parking will be maintained in the parking garage facility on Station Place and Atlantic Street throughout construction of the new garage to help minimize commuter parking impacts. The "1985 Parking Garage" garage will be closed upon completion of the new parking garage and will be demolished 2024 under Project No. 0301-0513.

The Department previously pursued a new parking project for the STC as part of a transit-oriented development (TOD). The current projects are not TOD projects. Under this previous effort, the Department completed an Environmental Impact Evaluation in accordance with the Connecticut Environmental Policy Act (CEPA) to evaluate and document the potential environmental impacts of the project and to outline recommended mitigation for those impacts.
