In response to strong advocacy by the Select Board and the @brooklinema Planning Department, the state has altered a key provision of the MBTA Communities Act guidelines to allow places like us to mandate ground-floor commercial use in compliant districts. https://t.co/Dp0cdzMD8R

Brookline's public parklets program transforms parking spaces into passive spaces where anyone can eat, drink, read, work or socialize in Brookline's commercial centers. Parklets are located in Brookline Village, Coolidge Corner & St. Mary's with more planned in the future.

[Chas Carey @chascarey]

Love any opportunity to use novelty-sized scissors! Thanks to @TownofBrookline’s Economic Development & Parks Divisions for bringing us 3 new accessible parklets in Brookline Village, Coolidge Corner, & St. Mary’s, and to Rep. @TommyVitolo for securing $50,000 in earmark funding!
