I believe it is vital the proposed New Britain busway becomes a reality it will meet the social and economic challenges that New Britain faces now and in the future."I believe New Britain busway is an exciting project New Britain and one of the most important development projects for the area."I am 100% support on this New Britain project and I back Mayor Timothy Stewart in trying to get this accomplish. This is one of the best thing that has and will happen to our city.   The Busway will be a dedicated Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) facility along a 9.4-mile corridor between downtown New Britain and downtown Hartford. The Busway project will include associated improvements to the transit and transportation system that are necessary to make the busway possible. The recommended corridor for the busway follows an abandoned railroad right-of-way from New Britain to approximately 2000 feet south of Newington Junction (a distance of approximately 4.4 miles). From this point north, the busway corridor lies within the active Amtrak railroad right-of-way and is, for the most part, parallel to the active Amtrak rail line (a distance of approximately 5.0 miles).A total of up to 11 transit stations will serve the users of the busway. Buses using this corridor will have more competitive travel times when compared with automobiles, since they will bypass congestion on arterial streets and I-84. The facility will permit bus access at intermediate points, so circulator bus routes could readily serve surrounding neighborhoods and then use the busway, thus providing a one-seat ride. In addition, the busway will include express, shuttle, circulator, and connecting feeder bus service. A multi-use trail will be constructed adjacent to or near the busway from downtown New Britain to the Newington Junction Station in Newington.   Miguel A. Nieves New Britain ...read more
