[Massplanners] A Thoughtful View of Proposed MBTA Zoning

[Carolyn Britt]

All,

I want to draw your attention to a thoughtful view of the potential 
impact of the provisions of the MBTA zoning, particularly on already 
dense communities on the MBTA system that have been making efforts at 
transit-oriented development. The article appears in the recent 
Commonwealth. The author, Charlotte Kahn, particularly questions ongoing 
large scale investment in MBTA communities given the recent assessment 
by the MBTA of the climate vulnerability of the system. She makes good 
points about looking at development around the state, particularly in 
less vulnerable areas, given other proposed investments in public 
transit elsewhere.

Have the proponents of these regulations had enough feedback to provide 
appropriate modifications? If you have issues, you need to weigh in by 
Thursday.

I hope you find it as thought-provoking as I do.
