Introduction to the MBTA Communities Law
The MBTA Communities Law requires zoning that will permit the creation of significant multi-family housing {3 units or more} in a community served by the MBTA. Here is a list of some important sites and documents related to this law.
The planning document below mentions MBTA Communities compliance
A key feature of the MBTA Communities Law is to require a certain percentage of the zoning designed to create multi-family housing to fall within a one half mile circle around a rapid transit or commuter rail stop. Thus, knowing these half mile circles is important for planning. Displaying half size circle maps for Newton is the goal of this document.
