5 Things: State Promises Funding for Medford Sq. Garage; Toll on I-93?

Good morning, here's five things to know today:

The city has been selected by the state to receive $2 million in funding to construct a new parking garage on Governors Avenue, Lt. Governor Tim Murray announced in an appearance in Medford Thursday. "That is condition upon the city council approval," Murray said. "We hope that will happen because $2 million like that doesn't usually hang around and we've already spent the $1 million (on garage design)."

The debate over placing a toll near the New Hampshire border on I-93 may return in 2012 as an option to shore up transit funding shortfalls in Massachusetts, according to one state representative. “Open road tolling is a possibility, on the New Hampshire border, that Governor Patrick and the (MBTA) caucus is looking at,”  Rep. Sean Garballey, D-Medford/Arlington, said Wednesday.
