MBTA News 🚍: MBTA Community Act Being part of an MBTA community means that the town or city is near public transportation and/or offers their own. The new zoning act —  MGL c. 40A & 3A — requires any MBTA-classified area to have at least one reasonably sized zoning district, where multi-family housing is permitted as of Right. https://lnkd.in/eCJwu3KM This above law is expected to give developers a higher density for multi-family units without the requirement of special approvals and/or zoning/planning board permits, and also includes single-families within 177 local municipalities. *Depending on the community type, there is a minimum gross density of 15 units/acre. *The area must not be located more than ½ mile away from any commuter rail, subway, bus station, or ferry. *There aren't any age restrictions and it must be suitable for families with kids. Pop into this Mass.gov page to understand the importance of this compliance change: https://lnkd.in/eRg_wuz2 According to the MBTA, there are four communities who are affected by the above legislation: *Rapid transit areas include 14 greater Boston towns/cities that must submit their district compliance forms by December 31 , 2023. *The community rail has 51 communities that must submit their forms by December 31, 2024. *Adjacent communities have to send their forms by December 31, 2024. Adjacent small towns have until December 31, 2025, to remit compliance forms. To learn more, read the letter that was sent to each affected MBTA community. https://lnkd.in/ekKmvt8i

Happy Lebanese Independence Day! 🌲 https://lnkd.in/e78k2mP4 Each November 22, the Lebanese take to the streets in parades, attend concerts, and enjoy a variety of cultural activities to celebrate their independence. From 1516-1918, Lebanon was ruled by the Ottoman Empire. In 1920, the French began their tirade. After country-wide protests, France discontinued their retaliation. In 1943, Lebanon was emancipated from the 23-yearlong French Mandate. Learn more about both the Syrian and Lebanese efforts to gain Independence in this scholarly article: https://lnkd.in/ed32P9ED To celebrate, we enjoy making tabbouleh, hummus, kibbeh, and dancing the dabki!

Happy National GIS Day 🗺️ & Geography Awareness Week! On November 15, we celebrate the Geographic Information Systems technology — otherwise known as — GIS! This day is also paired with Geography Awareness Week, which began on November 19, 1999. GIS tools help many professionals across the globe, including cartographers, land surveyors like MBL, geographers, and many more. GIS is the method of cataloging records by associating them to geographic layers to develop and maintain digital maps. The “father of GIS” is Dr. Roger Tomilson — the geographer who developed GIS (in 1962) for the Canada Land Inventory. Before him, the first-ever recorded spatial analysis use was in 1832 by Charles Picquet when he was tracking cholera in Paris — this visual tracking helped Physician John Snow save lives! This technology paved the way for the eventual launch of the first satellite on July 23, 1973. Thirty plus years later, Google introduced their Street View program.
