02/26/2024 - Yonkers recently completed the Stamford Parking Garage Design-Build Project. A ceremony was held to commemorate the grand opening of the new parking garage at the Stewart B. McKinney Transportation Center (commonly known as the Stamford Transportation Center). The ceremony was hosted by Governor Ned Lamont and Connecticut Transportation Commissioner Garrett Eucalitto.

 

The new garage features an iconic glass-enclosed pedestrian bridge, three all-glass elevators with all-glass enclosure, 914 parking spaces, 92 electric vehicle charging stations, and 120 bicycle spaces. Wrapped around the garage is an illuminated metal basket façade with more than 200,000 color changing high-efficient LED lights that will commemorate special events and holidays.

 

This project also included the reconstruction of the South State Street and Washington Boulevard intersection, making it safer for all roadway users with new sidewalks, traffic signals, and thermal crosswalks.

 

The new parking garage and its iconic pedestrian bridge will provide seamless intermodal transportation connections to the train station, train platforms, and local streets.
