The MBTA Communities Act mandated requirements for us, per a Boston Globe map –

The Town of Medfield is asking the state to allow us to use the development at the former Medfield State Hospital site as part of our obligation under the MBTA Communities Act. Alternatively, the planning board has been figuring out where to rezone the town to comply with the mandate imposed on us by the MBTA Communities Act. The planning board seems to be focusing primarily on areas along Rte 109 and Rte 27. At a recent public forum, residents brainstormed plans. and my tablemates felt the rezoning should be distributed all around town rather than occur in the downtown or along those two routes.
I think it would be very helpful to know the current density of the areas around town. It could be that some of the areas already have a density that could satisfy some of the requirement.
