Bill Summary

Relative to subdivision dead end ways. Municipalities and Regional Government.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 81Q of Chapter 41 of the Massachusetts General Laws to allow municipalities and regional governments to adopt rules or regulations for dead-end ways, provided that such ways have a minimum pavement width of 20 feet and a turnaround, and are no longer than 1,200 feet or as specified by the State Fire Code, whichever is shorter. The bill also requires any existing subdivision control law rules or regulations to comply with this new requirement by January 31, 2021, and allows planning boards to waive the requirement until that time.
