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. brooklinetownnews.com/2023/0…

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.

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!

We ❤️ Brookline's #parklets! Many thanks to the incredible staff at DPW's Parks and Open Space Div for designing & building these lovely public spaces in #CoolidgeCorner #BrooklineVillage and #StMarys , and to @TommyVitolo for securing funding for this initiative! #brookline
