“It's extremely short-sighted not to consider including incorporat­ing office buildings, a hotel, and supporting retail into these plans for the parking garage and the transporta­tion center itself. This is our opportunit­y to get it right at Stamford's gateway and also help reduce commuter traffic on I-95. We have to look at the big picture. We only get one chance with this. Get the state, the city, the public, and the developers involved and start talking seriously. While on the subject, whatever happened to the proposed train station on the East Side?”

— StamfordRa­dioGuy, via stamfordad­vocate.com “I don’t get the argument that parking isn’t the highest and best use. At the end of the day, it is a train station, and people need to find a convenient place to park. It’s not the fault of the commuters that the DOT and the state is so badly mismanaged that they are looking to squeeze revenue out of every pothole they own. Their core mission is to manage the transporta­tion system, not to be a real estate agency.”
