CIGAR 170 REVERE ST., REVERE (781) 289-4959 City to receive $750K federal grant money for Gateway Park restoration E veret t By Neil Zolot is receiving a $750,000 grant from the federal Forestry Service to help restore the Gateway Park area off Revere Beach Parkway behind Gateway Plaza. “These funds will be used to engage volunteers and community members to help restore natural functions to degraded wetlands in the area,” reads an item on the matter on the City Council meeting agenda of Monday, October 23. “It’s an impressive amount of money,” city Sustainability Planner Katherine Jenkins-Sullivan said of the grant secured through the office of Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley. “It’s great investment for the waterfront and recreation area. It’s inundated with a lot of invasive plants.” “Gateway Park has been identifi ed as a high priority for the restoration of an urban Our 51st Anniversary Chris 2023 forested wetland, stormwater fl ood management, and heat resilience,” reads the Project Grant Narrative submitted by Conservation Agent Tom Philbin. “Gateway Park was among the top six constructed or restored wetland projects (out of 465) identified across the Mystic River Watershed. Everett has no other undeveloped open space close to this size with the exception of a cemetery, the median strip of a state highway, and a recently created five-acre park. This funding will help transform a badly degraded waterfront parcel full of invasive phragmites and illegally dumped garbage into what will become Gateway Park, a forested wetland area with an Americans with Disabilities Act-accessible boardwalk. These funds would support the restoration of a wetland nestled between the Malden River and Gateway Mall, an improvement in both open space amenities and climate resilience. The project focuses on ecological restoration of 14-acres of degraded wetland and stream to re-establish hydrologic function and provide habitat for wildlife. The design will provide resiliency to city infrastructure through improved fl ood storage and filtration of polluted water. These funds would complement funds being secured by the City for the construction of a boardwalk through the restored wetland.” “Funding secured by Congresswoman Presley will help transform a badly degraded waterfront full of choking weeds and garbage into what will become a forested wetland with an ADA accessible boardwalk for people to enjoy,” Environmental Resiliency Manager Catherine Pedemonti of the Mystic River Watershed Association said. “It will be the third largest open space in Everett and will provide access to green space, fl ood storage during increasingly intense storms and shade as summers get hotter. It will also fi lter pollutants from stormwater.” GRANT | SEE PAGE 7 ~ Letter-to-the-Editor ~ Parents should expect more from their school district Dear Editor, My husband and I are parents of children at the Keverian School. We are very upset after reading last week’s Advocate and learning that this school was determined to be underperforming by the Department of Education. We were unaware there was an issue. We would have expected some notifi cation about it by either the principal or superintendent explaining to us steps and actions they are going to take to correct this. We want our children to have the same education as the children in our surrounding cities. If the principal spent more time supervising the personnel in the classroom, we might see better results.
