Don't Demolish Stmford's Commuter Parking Garage

The current plan by the CT Dep't. of Transportation (CT DOT) is to allow a private developer to develop a mixed-use, for-profit project on the site of the current public garage for commuters at the Stamford train Station. The developer WILL NOT have to provide ANY PARKING SPACES for commuters. Instead, the CT DOT will build a new garage for commuters FAR AWAY from the train station. Hearings on the plan are not being adequately publicized; in fact no signs are ever posted in and around the commuter garage to inform commuters about the hearings.Hearings are held with little or no notice, and citizens are not even allowed to see what the developers' project is, thus they do not allow for "hard look" at the project because the project remains a secret! I am a commuter who parks at this station and has been unable to attend the 2 hearings that have occurred, because I don't have adequate notice, and am unavailable at such an early time, when I, and most commuters are still working. Unfortunately, this lack of attendance at hearings is being interpreted by the CT DOT as lack of opposition to this scheme. Commuters will be very upset to learn that their commuter garage is about to be demolished, and that some developer is about to make a lot of money on a secret real estate development deal with the CT DOT!
