ATTLEBORO - A transportation bond bill making its way through the Legislature omits any additional funding for the city's urban renewal project at the downtown commuter rail station.

State Sen. James Timilty said he had sought $2 million from the bond to help fund the project, which includes a combination parking garage and bus stop called an intermodal station.

The first phase of the project has a cost estimate of $26.5 million, and the city has obtained $14 million thus far from local, state and federal sources.

Timilty, D-Walpole, said the Legislature is still in the early stages of dealing with the bond, and he has more opportunities to get the Attleboro money included in the bill.

"It's only the third inning of the game," he said. Timilty, whose district includes half of Attleboro, said the transportation bill is now under the consideration of the bonding and capital asset committee.

He said he has spoken to the committee's Senate chairman, Sen. Mark Montigny, D-New Bedford, about Attleboro's needs. Timilty said he is "hopeful" the money will be included by Montigny's committee.

If that attempt fails, Timilty said he will try amending the bill on the Senate floor.

Michael Milanoski, executive director of Attleboro Redevelopment Authority, which is overseeing the downtown project, said the lack of money for Attleboro is disappointing because several other cities are to get funding for similar projects.

He said the bond bill would provide Westfield with $4 million for a parking deck; Falmouth, $4 million for an intermodal station; and Greenfield, $2 million for a transit center.

Without the additional state aid, the city would not be able to accelerate its efforts to get the urban renewal project underway.

The project includes removing some industrial buildings along Wall Street, building the parking garage in the commuter rail parking lot off South Main Street, and eventually constructing condominiums at the site.

Milanoski said the focus right now is relocating city highway garage, which is located on the downtown site.

The highway garage is to be torn down, and a new one built off Lamb Street, but the new location needs some environmental cleanup first.
