What are the exciting new improvements?
Improvements include the demolition of the existing 16,349 SF theatre building located at the corner of Railroad Avenue and Steamboat Road and, in its place, the construction of a new, mixed-use space with an outdoor plaza and better pedestrian access to the train platform. The space will feature green spaces and outdoor seating for a new restaurant. This new building addition will be set back more than 20 feet from Railroad Avenue, and nearly 30 feet from Steamboat Road. In addition, a new staircase to the train platform will improve pedestrian access and egress. Adjoining the restaurant to the west will be new retail space.
The revitalization also includes the renovation and re-facing of the remaining mixed-use building and both interior and exterior improvements to the train station. All will be renovated to provide new retail storefronts and tenant spaces, connecting the active retail streetscape of Greenwich Avenue to the Greenwich Train Station. Click to view all renderings.
What are the improvements inside the train station?
The use of new materials, upgraded lighting, and modern signage will refresh the station’s exterior façade, giving it a more distinguished presence on Railroad Avenue. Inside the station, renovations include full-glass entrance facades, a new wood-slatted ceiling, upgraded restrooms, and new flooring, glass railings, signage, and a new elevator. The elevator door will be reoriented, allowing for a small retail opportunity to be added on the station’s second floor. All new flooring throughout and the use of upgraded materials, including glass, will provide a more open and sunlit space. Click to view all renderings.

How will parking be impacted during construction?
Metered parking spaces along the Greenwich Crossing east retail side of Railroad Avenue have been deactivated following the Town’s established procedures and associated costs. We have temporarily relocated 12 public-use parking spaces, 2 of which are ADA spaces to the west side parking lot at the intersection of Railroad Avenue and Arch Street. There are additional street parking spaces available alongside the public parking lot.
Parking in front of the west retail is open. The train station is open.
How will sidewalks be impacted?
All sidewalks and roads beyond the current fenced area will remain accessible. The retail sidewalk, parking, and storefronts on the east side of Railroad Avenue are closed and fenced off. The train station is open. Click to view Parking & Pedestrian Access Plan.
