Danbury’s Downtown Transit-Oriented Development Study has been recognized by the New England Chapter of the Congress for the New Urbanism.  The City was honored with the 2020 Urbanism Award in the neighborhood/district/corridor category.  There were a record number of applications this year in this category.  The TOD study was completed in January of 2019 and has a goal of creating a more effective use of transit service and unlocking development opportunities within the downtown corridor.  CNU New England acknowledged that by focusing on downtown land use, transportation, public spaces, and the unique cultural and diverse community, Planning Director Sharon Calitro says Danbury has created and will continue to create a place where people want to live, work, and play.  The complete study is available on the City of Danbury website, https://www.danbury-ct.gov/government/departments/planning-zoning/tod/.
