Big Change coming for Traffic Lights
In the near future, the way that traffic lights have been managed may change. Instead of city engineers monitoring the lights, a computer algorithm could decide the traffic light patterns throughout the city. The goal of this project, part of Go Boston 2030, is to “Better move traffic along, reduce fender-benders caused by drivers trying to make it through the intersection before the light changes, and address safety concerns in general, for drivers as well as bicyclists and pedestrians.” More on The Boston Globe.
Short Term Rental Tax and Regulations Opposed by Realtors Association
On Beacon Hill, the plans to tax short-term rentals, like Air BNB, has been met with some opposition. According to Salem News, the tax could create an additional $50 Million for Massachusetts’ State budget. The Massachusetts Realtors Association has opposed the proposed tax because they believe that home owners should not have to pay additional taxes or uphold regulations for trying to earn extra money.
