Gov. M. Jodi Rell announced Thursday that the state Bond Commssion is expected to approve $950,000 for a new canopy at the Glenbrook train station in Stamford on Dec. 10.

Located at 2 Crescent St. and 502 Glenbrook Road, the Glenbrook Station operates on the Metro-North's New Canaan line and features a 320-foot platform, which has waiting shelters, but no canopy.

"This enhancement will add to the comfort and safety of commuters," Gov. Rell said in a statement. "Whatever the weather, the canopy will offer much-needed shelter for the commuting public. My administration has made it a priority to get more people off the roads and into mass transit and this improvement will help in that effort."

The Department of Transportation is currently building a 400-foot, $1 million canopy at Springdale train station a mile-and-a-half away at 886 Hope St., which also operates on the New Canaan line. Work on the canopy began in April and was completed last month.
