WILTON – On Monday night, train commuters had a chance to air their frustrations with the Danbury Branch Line, often cited for infrequent and unreliable service, and offer suggestions for sensible upgrades at a forum with the Commissioner of the Department of Transportation (DOT) and local state representatives. The forum was organized by a bipartisan group of legislators from the Route 7 corridor who co-introduced House Bill 6553, which would require the reallocation of previously authorized bonds to make incremental service improvements on the Danbury Line.
“The status of the service commuters get on the Danbury Branch Line is of tremendous concern to residents, and this forum was a great way for them to come out and have their voices heard directly by the commissioner,” said Rep. O’Dea. “I appreciate the Commissioner dedicating so much time with us for the evening and being willing to hear all comers. We are all looking to work together to ensure that the necessary and essential improvements to the Danbury Line are made, and that the DOT has the resources they need to make that happen.”
