Re: [LincolnTalk] Massachusetts will punish suburbs that don't allow apartments near transit.

We do have a bus stop and I have used it for a couple of months. It is a lot cheaper to take a bus ($2.50 a ride) than the train ($8.50 a ride) but you will pay in time and gas. It takes about 2.5 hours to get into Boston via Alewife from my unit in South Lincoln. Yes, thats one way. The bus st

Re: [LincolnTalk] Massachusetts will punish suburbs that don't allow apartments near transit.

The Housing Choice Act covers "by right" zoning. Specifically, to comply we would need to zone 50 acres at 15 units per acre. The Oriole Landing buildings are consistent with that density. The act does not address housing construction or the current multi-family housing inventory. It is concerned

Re: [LincolnTalk] Massachusetts will punish suburbs that don't allow apartments near transit.

I believe that many existing units count. Could someone please clarify? Planning Board? Many of us want to help with the housing crisis in this part of MA. And i appreciate that there are differing opinions. May we continue to be civil as we are doing now. Joan On Mon, Jan 24, 2022, 7:54 PM Deb

Re: [LincolnTalk] Massachusetts will punish suburbs that don't allow apartments near transit.

I guess I wish they would just take into consideration the housing we already have. There are 120 units next to the Hanscom bus stop (Battle Road Farm) not to mention all the HAFB units. That's a ton of units. There's a lot of open land on the Hanscom Air Field lot right across the street from the

Re: [LincolnTalk] Massachusetts will punish suburbs that don't allow apartments near transit.

I don't (yet) have a POV on the specifics of this legislation nor the feasibility for Lincoln, but I do wonder about a moral responsibility to reconsider wholesale housing policy in towns like Lincoln. It is my understanding that part of the housing crises that have plagued San Francisco, Los Ange

Re: [LincolnTalk] Massachusetts will punish suburbs that don't allow apartments near transit.

Richard, Yes, most of that land is in the National Park. In my view, considering Lincoln a bus community (which gives us tighter deadlines) is not reasonable given the location of the bus stop. Margaret On Mon, Jan 24, 2022 at 6:49 PM Richard Panetta wrote: > Margaret, > > > Would the property

Re: [LincolnTalk] Massachusetts will punish suburbs that don't allow apartments near transit.

Margaret, Would the property near the bus stop be an area of concern as well then? Or would most of that land be in the National Park district? Rich On Mon, Jan 24, 2022 at 6:45 PM Margaret Olson wrote: > Sara, > The original map published in the Squirrel was incorrect. This is my fault > - I

Sara, The original map published in the Squirrel was incorrect. This is my fault - I made that map and made a mistake in the GIS. This was brought to my attention in the comments; Alice contacted me and she updated the article with the corrected map. What the updated map shows is that in order to

Re: [LincolnTalk] Massachusetts will punish suburbs that don't allow apartments near transit.

Debra, This legislation has defined “Transit oriented” to just about every city and town, as long as they are anywhere near transit. And, transit is rather loosely defined. Lincoln is identified as having bus transit. How many in town know that there is a bus route and how many have access to it>
