NEWTON, Mass. — Newton city officials are removing the Italian flag-colored street markers on Adams Street for the second time.
The removal process began at 7 a.m. as officials started repainting the streets with yellow markers.
This action follows a previous removal of the tri-color lines earlier this year. The green, white, and red center lines were a feature of the annual ‘Festa,’ which led to significant community backlash.
Mayor Ruthanne Fuller stated that the lines were repainted due to traffic and safety concerns.
