Looking up Breining Street from Brookline Boulevard. The roadway would soon be widened and improved,
something that neighborhood residents had been urging the city to do for over two decades.
The road was widened from the boulevard to Georgette Street at Carmalt School.
The total cost of this civic improvement project was $425,000.
