Two pedestrians injured in separate Brookline car crashes on Thursday - Brookline.News One crash was outside the Driscoll School, and the other in Coolidge Corner.

I was looking into an incident of a pedestrian struck and injured while walking in a Brookline crosswalk yesterday, near Driscoll School. By the time I had enough information to publish a story, another pedestrian had been struck and injured in a different crosswalk.

Little surprise: Boston’s traffic is still among the top five worst in nation, report finds - The Boston Globe The average Boston driver spent 83 hours crawling through congestion this year — four hours worse than 2024.

You're not stuck in traffic. You are part of traffic.

Address the traffic problem with congestion pricing which pays for better public transportation. Follow NYC's lead.

Commentary: ICE ads are playing on a streamer near you. Can they survive the online rebellion? As ICE recruitment ads stream on services including Spotify, Hulu and more, members of the online rebellion don't want to participate in the agency's mission.

Thank you @brooklineforeveryone.com. As a former US Air Force officer, I cannot with conscience condone the advertisements for ICE on YouTube (See www.latimes.com/world-nation...)

Don’t Stream Fascism: Cancel Spotify

It's outrageous that Spotify is running ICE ads. I've canceled our subscription (much to my teens' chagrin) because it's wrong to recruit for ICE. #CancelSpotify app.sosha.ai/s/uMrnjfJH

If you ever wondered how the Town of Brookline, Massachusetts acquired the land for its municipal parking lots, the answer is frequently by eminent domain. This video tells the history of the homes and businesses at the parking lots before they were parking lots.

When are you coming to Brookline, Mass? Jeff Speck and Chris Dempsey just gave their “A More Walkable Brookline” talk at the Coolidge Corner Theater. It would be great to have you speak at theater as well.
