New Haven to NY border traffic |

What can be done about it to fix it for the long term?
Any ideas or suggestions?

2. More people should take the train, perhaps? |
|
That's what I did when I lived in New Haven for nine years.
I never understood why people drove into New York City. The few times I tried it, it was a nerve-wracking experience.

Metro North is pretty busy, if I'm not mistaken.

4. Massive upgrades to the public transportation system. |
|
This includes the local bus systems. Anything to get folks out of their cars. There is virtually no way to upgrade either i-95 or the merritt. What about light rail systems in the larger towns (stamford, bridgeport, norwalk, new haven) and better connecting service from the local train stops. Norwalk had a nice connecting service from the south norwalk station to the hospital.
Maybe if gas prices go to $4-5 a gallon, people will change their minds about driving. OBL wants oil to be at least $100/barrel.
