Hearing Set On East Side Rail Station

Hearing set on East Side rail station Corporations, developers in the South End, along with East Side businesses and residents, all want to clear hurdles and make a long-sought East Main Street train station a reality, said James Grunberger, chairman of the non-profit East Side Partnership. Residents will get the chance next week to hear about possible options for the East Main Street rail station, expanded bus service, and other information from a study on improving transit links to the East Side. A South Western Regional Planning Agency public presentation on the city's ongoing $180,000 East Main Street Transit Station Study will be held at 7 p.m., Wednesday in the fifth-floor auditorium of the Stamford Government Center, 888 Washington Blvd. A branch line station on East Main Street at the railroad trestle would put a rail connection in the center of the neighborhood and, presumably, result in a larger economic benefit, while a New Haven Line station there would face resistance from the Federal Railroad Administration because it would require a disruptive track realignment, Lader said. Wise, who also developed Glenview House, a 146-unit luxury apartment development at Glenbrook Road and East Main Street, said real estate firms would also be more likely to create similar projects with a new station's improved transit access.
