  • New Boston Street Economic Development Study Memorandum
    Memorandum To: City of Woburn From: MAPC On: 6/26/2018 Re: New Boston Street Economic Development Study Memorandum This memorandum outlines the existing conditions research and recommendations conducted for the New Boston Street commercial / industrial area of Woburn. The following mapping and analysis cover existing zoning, land use, building size and type, connectivity, property ownership, and relevant planning and development processes. Further, it includes high level findings from the New Boston Street business survey and business breakfast convened on February 9th 2018. Executive Summary The New Boston Street Industrial Park is a thriving business district supporting over 300 businesses and thousands of jobs. Its easy access to highways make it attractive for businesses serving a regional customer base and also provides an excellent employment base both from the Boston suburbs as well as smaller cities around the region. Reasonable rental rates, large building sizes, and available space all have contributed to the success of the business district. While the regional location of New Boston Street has been a boon for business attraction, local access to the area has been a challenge due to its somewhat isolated nature on the western side of the Lowell Line commuter rail tracks. The opening of the New Boston Street Bridge will likely alleviate some pressure on Mishawum Road and improve overall traffic circulation. The City should continue to explore the feasibility of additional transportation options to access this important employment center via a pedestrian sky bridge and possible alternative transportation models such as private shuttles (e.g., as part of a larger Transportation Management Association’s routes and/or from the Anderson/Woburn Regional Transit Center) or rerouted MBTA buses.

  • Initial MBTA Service Pilot Proposal
    November 4, 2019 To: Massachusetts department of Transportation Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority [email protected] cc: Senator Jason Lewis Representative Paul Brodeur Representative Donald H. Wong Thank you for the opportunity to submit the Town of Wakefield’s MBTA pilot proposals. Wakefield is fortunate to be serviced by two commuter rail stops (Wakefield Station and Greenwood, via the Haverhill line) and two bus routes (136 and 137). As indicated by your recent passenger counts, hundreds of individuals use Wakefield’s MBTA service each day. The ideas proposed are the direct result of public input. To determine what adjustments to propose, we gained feedback from individuals via the attached survey. The survey was available electronically, and physical copies were available at our library. It was open for the entire month of August 2019. There were 295 responses, 98 percent of whom were Wakefield residents. A majority of respondents (95%) utilized the MBTA during weekdays and 35 percent rode on weekends. Residents also provided feedback during Town Councilors’ office hours and via email with these representatives. Wakefield’s Zoning Board is currently deliberating on petitions that would add 491 residential units throughout town. Several large developments would be located steps from the Greenwood and Wakefield commuter rail stations, likely drawing tenants specifically looking to use the MBTA. Others are in close proximity to, or directly on, current bus routes. It is critical that we prepare for these public‐transit‐ oriented residents. According to our research, 62 percent of respondents take a non‐preferred form of transportation to their destinations (walking, taxi, Uber) at least once per month because the MBTA schedule isn’t convenient.
