Local roundup: Brookline bus lanes, parking fine increases and Schick Park reopening
Summary
During the July 23 TV on TV news segment, host Tommy Vitullo said the Brookline Transportation Board recommended removing Boylston Street red bus-only lanes, the select board raised many parking fines, and Schick Park reopened after a major renovation.
In the program's news roundup, host Tommy Vitullo said the Brookline Transportation Board recommended removing red bus‑only lanes on Boylston Street because of persistent driver compliance issues in the eastbound lane. He also reported that the select board voted to increase many parking violation fines from $30 to $45 (with some fines set at $50) and that the increases are expected to generate more than $1,000,000 in new annual revenue.
Vitullo also announced the Department of Public Works had reopened Schick Park after a major renovation that added two new playgrounds, a picnic pavilion and a loop path around the lawn. The host presented these items as part of a local news roundup during the July 23 broadcast.
