Progress is being made on plans to get the old Maybrook train Line up and running in Danbury to hook into Metro North.  The New York Metropolitan Transportation Council has unanimously agreed to fund a study to connect Danbury to Southeast and the Harlem line. The $1 million study is mostly being funded by the federal government.  Putnam County Executive MaryEllen Odell is a voting member of the Council, which is a collaborative planning forum to address transportation-related issues, develop regional plans and make decisions on the use of federal transportation funds for its planning area.  The money for the feasibility study comes from an $800,000 federal grant, and a $200,000 contribution from from Putnam County.
