Hearing on Bridgeport Danbury trolley brings no substantial objection
A Bridgeport Superior Court hearing on the proposed Bridgeport Danbury trolley line yielded little opposition. Mayor Buckingham testified the route serves public convenience, with modest objections over fare and headway from a North Main Street resident. Local officials from Bridgeport, Trumbull, Monroe, Newtown, Bethel, and Danbury voiced support, while a single North Main resident protested stopping at the terminus. If approved, work could begin in August with a charter deadline before next January.
