(theday.com) — Mystic's chronic parking and traffic headaches are prompting fresh discussion of a transportation center, shuttles, and even water taxis coordinated with the Town of Stonington. Local and state officials, business leaders, and Mystic Seaport Museum are weighing locations, funding, and whether garages or off-site lots can ease congestion without overwhelming the village's walkable character.
