Page 2 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JANUARY 23, 2026 TRAFFIC | FROM Page 1 Other business DeMauro also made a request for a public hearing to restrict parking on Everard Street from Cottage Street to Belle Isle Avenue. As part of the state’s Safe Routes to School program, which is investing $1.4 million for improvements, the sidewalks around the Beachmont school will be extended from four feet to 10 feet, which will not leave enough room for parking. DeMauro said the area is not a residential parking area but rather a drop-off space and there is room for student transportation at the back of the school. The Commission voted to hold a public hearing. The Commission also voted to approve parking restrictions on the odd side of Bradstreet Avenue from Atlantic to Endicott Avenues and on the odd side of Winthrop Avenue from Broadway to Beach Street, to allow for snow plowing. Commission chairman Chris Ciaramella said the proposal to restrict parking was developed by the parking department, the police and the public works department. “We thought this would be a benefi cial change to the schedule to help with plowing. It is defi nitely needed,” said Ciaramella. Ward 1 Councillor James Mercurio told the Commission he plowed that area for many years, the plows are getting bigger and he supports the new restrictions. Commissioners voted unanimously to approve the new parking restrictions. The Commission reviewed several requests to change the schedule for handicapped person parking.

The Commission voted to make those hours 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. Commission Chairman Chris Ciaramella said he is concerned about possible damage and maintenance of the charging stations. Conte explained that if a charging station were hit by a vehicle, a panel would be exposed to allow fi rst responders to turn off the power. Ciaramella proposed that some of the revenue from the charging stations be set aside for maintenance. Ward 6 Councillor Chris Giannino will chair the council’s Public Safety subcommittee.

The council also approved its Rules of Order although Ward 3 Councillor Anthony Cogliandro proposed amending or repealing rule 8, which sets limits for the amount and number of times councillors are allowed to speak and debate issues. Cogliandro said the rule should be eliminated since councillors violate it every meeting. But City Council President Anthony Zambuto disagreed and said he wants to enforce the debate limits. “And I will, as president, enforce that rule,” said Zambuto. “I think we should live with it, it’s a good rule.” Advertise i in the Adv dvertise n the Advoccaatete Classifieds!
