Councillor-at-Large Steven Morabito said the city could look into extending the public works department’s summer program and have younger people shovel snow during the winter. ings, the Revere High School girls’ basketball team came up just two points short of remaining in the top spot last Thursday night at home against the Lynn Ward 2 Councillor Ira Novoselsky successfully lobbied to add the shoveling of city sidewalks near public properties and parks to Serino’s motion. Revere Disabilities Committee Chair Ralph DeCicco cautioned that the shoveling program could be more involved than it looks at fi rst glance, and suggested the city look at how Somerville does its winter shoveling program before moving forward. “There’s a lot more involved than just clearing snow and ice – it’s a big undertaking,” said DeCicco. City Council President Gerry Visconti said he supports Serino’s motion and Novoselsky’s amendment and said Arrigo and the administration could fi netune the details in the coming weeks to come up with a comprehensive plan.
