Bill Summary

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

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 81Q of Chapter 41 of the General Laws to allow municipalities to adopt rules or regulations that permit dead-end ways (roads) with a minimum pavement width of 20 feet and a turnaround, as long as the length of the dead-end way is no less than 1,200 feet or the length specified in the State Fire Code, whichever is shorter. The bill also requires existing rules or regulations under the subdivision control law to comply with this new provision by January 31, 2023, and allows planning boards to waive the requirements until that time.
