To understand the potential of the Maybrook Line, we must examine broader challenges facing the Nutmeg State. The Maybrook Line passes through towns where zoning codes largely restrict housing to single-family homes on large lots. This is where the Maybrook Line comes in. But rezoning around constructed stations wouldn’t just make the Maybrook Line viable for commuters; it would directly benefit existing town residents. The CT Department of Transportation should conduct a feasibility study on reactivating passenger service along the Maybrook Line.
