Public Hearing Scheduled For Springdale Transit-Oriented Development Project

STAMFORD, CT — The Stamford Transportation, Traffic & Parking Department will be holding a public meeting on Oct. 6 at 6:30 p.m. to discuss the Springdale Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Project.

During the meeting, project team members will go over the project design, highlight key components, discuss the intended benefits, and conclude with a question-and-answer session.

According to the project page website, improvements include:

• Improved Pedestrian Circulation within the Train Station;

• Much more...

Stamford has been awarded $2 million to implement the recommendations of the state-funded "Glenbrook / Springdale Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Feasibility Study" to improve access to the Springdale Train Station.

The project is funded through the 2017 Responsible Growth and Transit-Oriented Development Program through the State of Connecticut, Office of Policy and Management.
