The Newton Centre Task Force has hired landscape architect Bruce Leish and is now pondering his preliminary sketch of a park in the triangle with a kiosk or other public meeting space, according to chairman Charles Eisenberg. Task Force members are also looking at the costs of solutions to various vexing traffic problems. Ultimately, the three subcommittees will have to reconcile differing visions of how much to leave green and how much to build in the area, including increasing the height of stores, extra housing, and parking lots. They are scheduled to meet again on Jan. 31. -- Connie Paige Posted by the Boston Globe City & Region Desk at 04:56 PM
