Carry the One and Total the Column.

I’ve been told that Brookline’s chief engineer has “recalculated” the lost revenue from displaced parking at the lot hosting Brookline’s Farmer’s Market. The new calculations are reportedly lower than the $14 thousand presented to the Selectmen. Imagine that.
Seems like a lot of trouble for something that is “nothing but a rumor” (to quote Selectman’s Chair Gil Hoy.)
An aside: When the Market was moved to make way for the Marriott on Webster St., a condition of the redeployment had the Town providing a banner and “marketing signage.” I’ve been told the Town stopped providing that service.
Makes you wonder what the market gets for their $2,300 and why the Brookline Selectmen are surprised that some would question their deep affection for our local grower’s mart.
