Brookline Town Meeting members late Tuesday voted for a re-zoning plan so sweeping that several called it a “generational change,” opening up the town’s commercial districts to significantly more apartment and condo construction near its public transit stops.
The measure required a two-thirds vote for passage, but far surpassed that margin, passing 207 to 33 with seven abstentions, as supporters in the Brookline High School auditorium erupted into cheers and applause.
