There are a lot of Dallas Cowboys fans up here. You’ll be fine.

You need a scally cap, you a Yankee now.

Eh, wear your hats! People will either complement you or ignore you lol

> exit 27 in Bridgeport comes to mind.

To be completely fair, the idea was that Super 7 would help connect to i84 and ultimately i90 in Western Mass which would have relieved some of the truck freight traffic. Also the thought that truck based freight in general would get to the usage it has is a huge point for bottlenecking.

I would look at you funny with any sort of cowboy appearance.

I feel like newsboy caps, trilby caps, and bush hats, and boonies, probably fit in most.

Children wear baseball caps, of course.

> I would also theorize that the increase of remote work has resulted in most white-collar employees in NYC only being in the office 1-3 days a week and working the other 2 days from home.

The thing is that NYC bound commuters wasn't as large of a pool than the MTA thought when they were redesigning the scheduling post COVID. Once you see it in this light the New Haven line passenger numbers makes far more sense and the solution far easier.

Wear what you want OP, nobody cares.

Yeah I'm worried with the rise of interest rates they're just saying fuck it. Like the big hole in the ground at Elm/Orange in the heart of downtown. But the Colosseum site is finally going after years, so fingers crossed

Did Hartford grow? I thought the stats I saw showed Hartford county stagnant while FFC grew

No one really gives 2 shits with the exception of Yankees and Red Sox fans.

Large empty lot across the street. Projects like apartment building to the right across from the parking garage. Adjacent to the train is a parking garage and then a surface parking lot. Across from the surface lot is a police station lol.

The only place to get food is a tiny Dunkin’ Donuts inside the station and the tiny sbarro when it’s actually open, nothing available around the station.

The saddest part to me is that the now empty lot where church st projects were is evidently going to be developed by the same landlord who ran that project into a slum…and surprise there is zero development being done in this lot, in the station, or anywhere else around the station.

Eversource has a guarunteed return on equity which is determined by pura. their pricing fluctuates to reflect that. If their net income goes down one period and their ROE falls below their target threshold they make it up the next period. Same in the inverse situation. Also, dont be such a troll and pick fights with everybody who is respponding to your post with information you are not accounting for.

You can wear whatever you want up here. Nobody is going to go out of their way to make a comment about a cowboy hat. I see plenty of people wearing them.

If only there was some way to charge people to drive on I-95 in order to discourage unnecessary trips + nudge out-of-staters to drive through Massachusetts instead.

> This is very concerning, given that Fairfield County and Stamford at this point are very important economic hubs for CT, practically the only part of the state growing, and far more desirable for new employers and employees alike. > >

All of the major urban centers in CT grew. It's the exurbs that are depopulating at a fairly massive clip.

>If we can’t solve our traffic issues (likely via public transport), our economy won’t improve.

Absolutely agree

I'm loving all the people on here who think their personal perspective is more valid than actual data. Read the article, people. It tells you exactly how they measure and define congestion.

The website for that project has zero updates since mid last year, there is no construction or any visible progress whatsoever which is sad. Tearing down the Church St projects started in I believe 2018 and didn’t wrap up until like last year or 2021…pretty sure the same landlord who ran those decrepit projects has development rights to the empty land and surprise surprise…nothing is in progress.

This area should be an economic powerhouse for the state smh

Wear whatever you’re comfortable wearing. No need to change for our sake.

Thanks for noticing. Eff NYP then

The number of lanes doesn't have anything to do with congestion, that's volume. A six lane highway at 11 in the morning can easily be less congested than a 1 lane highway at 5:00 in the afternoon

Says the morally bankrupt asshole.

That's not true at all. Suburbs in all different parts of Europe, Japan, and other places have many time more more public transportation than we do here. It's much more about the car culture that we live in, where everybody owns a car and it's generally the most convenient way to travel.

> southern CT is basically a big suburb of NYC, and so all of the traffic is tied to people commuting.

The issue that it isn't, people assume it is and the infrastructure treats it as such instead of the third largest concentration of commerce in the US that's actually fairly self contained economically, socially, and certainly politically. Edit: numbers coming in have alluded that the god awful failure of i95 and the other network is that people that were using the train for intrastate travel haven't been because the MTA focused on CT-NYC commuters which for decades hasn't been the bulk of trip generation.

Bridgeport-Norwalk-Stamford is by it's own measure a massive economic centre with over 600k high paying jobs whereas only 40kish in FFC leave the state for employment (with about 25k inflow from NYS).
