Others (Moon, White, Marchetti) want to restrict the discussion to the Columbus Avenue lot. Some councilors (Mazzeo, Morandi, Connell, Krol, Simonelli) want to use the issue to engage in a discussion of metered parking throughout the city.

Question is, should the city install parking meters at the Columbus-Summer Street lot or keep it free? The owner of Berkshire Nautilus wants free parking. Hey, at least they didn’t tear down a classic theater (where have you gone, Palace? Our city turns its lonely eyes to you). Danger? When The Old Professor taught composition classes at BCC’s satellite campus in the Intermodal, we had to have security available to walk students from the building to the parking garage.Īll that is gone. Who wouldn’t feel a bit wistful at the loss of graffiti, the drug deals, and the ever-present danger.

The most recent parking dilemma began after the city tore down the Columbus Avenue parking garage and deck. Is it a gettin’ out while the gettin’ is good? We hope to have a report next week. DPW chief David Turocy has handed in his resignation effective in October, conveniently before the November election. THE PLANET, by the way, is in the middle of investigating the strange situation. Dan Ostrander for reasons no one in the know will share certainly doesn’t help the parking problems. Parking once again has city officials with the meter expired. That joke might well have come from Pittsfield, which, for generations, have never been able to get its parking situation in order. We cannot claim credit for this one: “I figured out what to do about the parking problem. We helped the “King of the One Liners” with books, produced one of his shows, and even wrote a few jokes. (FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, WEDNESDAY MAY 22, 2019) - One of THE PLANET‘s favorite writing gigs was a stint with comedian Henny Youngman.
