08/16/08 A Trolley For Stamford And A Bus For Greenwich


Stamford Trolley Study Moving Forward

WSTC-AM Norwalk

URS Consulting has been hired to conduct a study on a possible trolley system for Stamford. The light rail service will run from the Stamford train station to the city's West Side. It's designed to offer an alternative to driving but is also about enabling residents to experience the increased development going on around the city. Stamford is hardly the only local municipality eyeing new ways of transportation.

"The Southwestern Regional Planning Agency is also looking at "bus rapid transit"...to offer an express type of bus service between Norwalk and Greenwich," says Stamford transportation planner Joshua Lecar.

A website will soon be launched for residents to share their thoughts on the Stamford trolley system. Lecar says there will also be multiple public hearings as the project progresses.
