Stoneham kicked off the subregion focus group discussion regarding public transportation in the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) Suburban Mobility Study, November 28.
Facilitated by Travis Pollack of the MAPC nad Stoneham Town Planner Erin Wortman, town planners from Stoneham, Winchester and Woburn along with business leaders discussed the “first and last mile” transit connections to jobs in these communities; the challenges and possible solutions for employers, workers, and residents in having reliable access to jobs, especially those without access to cars.
This discussion kicked off the round of focus group discussions in the 9-community region surrounding Stoneham. Stakeholders intend to meet routinely to discuss and propose creative public transportation solutions.
