Reply to comment by movdqa in Dozens of cities and towns are facing their first big deadline to comply with a new state law that requires them to legalize more homes near MBTA stations. In Weston, a notoriously exclusive suburb, town officials met this morning to discuss how they might comply with the new rules: by streetsblogmass

You dont need direct mbta access. Towns adjacent are also effected

Scroll down a bit and youll see the map, its basically the eastern 3rd of the state.

I grew up in Waban and we still have a place there that's walkable to Woodlands and Waban stations and I tend to think of MBTA as the rapid transit stations. We're up in NH now and sometimes use the Lowell station to get into Boston. So I don't know the commuter rail system that well.

Yeah, I know. I went to Boston College for undergrad and Boston University for grad school. My sister went to Northeastern and I had to take the Beacon St line from time to time. I just didn't recall any of those going out to Weston.
