MAGIC Trails
This project is working with municipalities in the MAGIC region to identify trails connections, highlight wayfinding opportunities, and host an in-person trails event in 2025. This project will connect with ongoing trails work in the MetroWest and North Suburban Planning Council Regions.
MAGIC Noise Ordinance Research
This project is a collaboration between MAPC’s arts and culture and public health teams who are engaging in a field scan of existing noise policies and noise ordinance best practices. The deliverable of this project will be a noise ordinance toolkit and recommendations for local and statewide noise policies.
MAGIC 3A/MBTA Communities Research
MAPC is providing ongoing support to the MAGIC subregion to assist with navigating the new MBTA Communities regulations. MAGIC communities indicated a strong interest in communications support as they seek to review the regulations and implement new zoning districts in their towns.
