Are they providing an upgraded bus stop?

The CTurbanist bench we placed at the bus stop south of the main driveway entrance back in August 2023 disappeared shortly right after.

We have strong suspicion it was the hospitals doing

Fronting the first CTurbanist bench!

An iteration of the bench is still there

it's not a real city

its a satellite town of NYC. that's always been the case

their downtown grid isn't even orthogonal

Recent feedback shows revealed that 73% of survey respondents do not have access to a personal car, 59% use Via NHV to connect to other transit options, and 96% would be disappointed if the service were no longer available.

Via NHV is on-demand shared transit that’s operating 7 days a week from 7 AM to 7 PM with a $1.75 base fare and $0.85 discounted fare for seniors and low-income riders.

The service launched with free fares in March, and today ridership is already 56% higher than our pre-fare peaks 💪

example: they determined that they couldn't connect to the existing Danbury train station (Alt. A pg. 56) because "it would require significant
grade crossing/signalization to maintain."

but did not consider rebuilding/rightsizing the intersection😂😂

ridiculous

the whole study is flawed

loop back existing northbound Southeast service back to GCT down the Danbury Line. by combining southeast and Danbury scheduling you also increase service on the Danbury branch which would need to be electrified

Over $9M in funding for the Union Station Area Thermal Energy Network has been provided by the generous support of the previous @EPA administration

makes sense. it might be a little longer on my end only 160k miles on the Prius

😂
