Page 4 THE REVERE ADVOCATE–Friday, November 1 , 2019 Revere awarded $1M MassWorks grant for improvements on Ocean Ave. M ayor Brian M.

As this work is approaching the end stages, it makes sense for the State to fund long-awaited infrastructure improvements such as the relocation of utilities and major streetscape accommodations.” In particular, focus will be on pedestrian and bicycle access along the way. “Sidewalk improvements have been set aside for years as we awaited the completion of much of the development in the area,” said Mayor Arrigo. “In addition to the private development along Ocean Avenue, we see the completion of the new DCR facility that sits between Ocean Avenue and Revere Beach Boulevard. Now, a next phase is [to] bring the streetscape into conformity with the area’s new and modern appearance.” The infrastructure improvements will help advance the long-term goal of a well-conceived Revere Beach TransitOriented Development District. “Thanks to the support of Governor Baker, Speaker DeLeo, Senator Boncore, and Representative Vincent, this will fuel the momentum happening in Revere, benefiting residents, visitors, and businesses along Ocean Avenue,” said Mayor Arrigo. “The grant monies will support the growth of our local economy, creating walkable space between the mixed-use communities, centered between two Tstops.
