Waterbury Transportation Center

2. Notice of Scoping for Waterbury Transportation Center

Municipality where proposed project might be located: Waterbury

Address of Possible Project Location: Meadow Street (Existing Train Station Site) 

Project Description: An Environmental Assessment/Environmental Impact Evaluation (EA/EIE) will be prepared under National Environmental Policy Act/Connecticut Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/CEPA) for the proposed State action.  The State action is the construction of a new multi-modal transportation center which would consolidate numerous modes of area and local transportation services such as commuter rail services, local bus routes, taxi service, inter-city bus service and shuttles in one location.  The purpose of the proposed action is to improve the efficiency of the transportation system, promote increased transit ridership, ease automotive and pedestrian congestion in downtown Waterbury and restore the Waterbury Green to its original civic function.

This EA/EIE will address the direct impacts of the state action described above as well as secondary and cumulative impacts associated with the proposed multi-modal transportation center.
