Brookline Compliance With The MBTA Communities Act

What might the Harvard Street proposal accomplish besides MBTA-CA compliance?

In addition to MBTA-CA compliance, the Harvard Street proposal could provide the following benefits:

  • more residents using our biggest retail corridor, meaning more customers for our local businesses
  • more predictable development in line with community standards
  • more affordable housing, well-integrated into our housing inventory, instead of 40B projects that the town is forced to accept.
  • helping the environment by adding more housing closer to public transit.
