History


Plans call for the station to be located at the current park and ride at 67 White Turkey Road Ext, adjacent to the Brookfield-Danbury border.[1] Original plans for the station had surfaced in 2009–2010, when a study was conducted to determine the viability of the station.[2] Although plans had gone under for a while, improvements being made to the line by the State of Connecticut could mean a station in the near future.[3] In September 2020, due to an increase in demand for expansion of commuter rail service to Greater Danbury, the United States Department of Transportation awarded a $400,000 grant to the Western Connecticut Council of Governments to study improvements along the Danbury Branch line and develop a plan for expanding service north. This would include the construction of a North Danbury, Brookfield and New Milford station.[4]
