New Bedford Mayor Jon Mitchell has proposed zoning changes aimed to create the city's second "transit-oriented development" district. If approved, it would allow more dense, mixed-use buildings centered around the Acushnet Ave. MBTA station, which will see South Coast Rail service start next month.
