THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 2026 Page 13 RCCR | FROM Page 4 tal permits are in place. Dakin explained the soil issues that set the project timeline back by three to four months. Soil needed to be moved to bolster the ground for heavy machinery and the building. But once soil is dug up to be moved, it is tested and contamination was found in several areas. That soil needed to be removed and disposed of, which took extra time. Dakin is still optimistic that the time may be recouped and the building could possibly open at the originally scheduled date, September 2028. Dakin said the project is four percent complete and is in a position to achieve the fi nancial goals set by the city. “We’re in very good shape,” Dakin told councillors. Special Permits approved O n a favorable recommendation from the Zoning Subcommittee, the council approved a special permit for Flor Gomez to modify a nonconforming structure by converting a retail fl ower shop to a restaurant at 619 Broadway. The council also approved a special permit to H&J Realty, LLC, to reconstruct, alter and extend a preexisting nonconforming residential structure into a four-story residential apartment structure consisting of nine units at 95 Stanton Ave. City Council security T he council supported a motion from Councillor-atLarge Joanne McKenna and Ward 5 Councillor Angela Guarino-Sawaya that the Revere Police Department assign an offi cer to be present during City Council meetings. According to the councillors, due to the increasingly hostile climate and heightened concerns regarding public safety, having an offi - cer at meetings would provide reassurance to councillors, staff and members of the public. The presence of law enforcement would help ensure that meetings are conducted in a safe, orderly and secure environment. Councillors did raise questions about the cost, and the motion was referred to the Ways and Means Subcommittee. Investments in technology T he council approved spending $490,000 from the Educational Technology Program funds. A mobile LED screen will be purchased for $115,000 for the Parks and Recreation Department to support recreational activities and entertainment at community events. An additional $375,000 will be spent on a communications upgrade for telecommunications and videoconferencing for all school, city, public safety and 311 constituent services. City Council requests safety audit T he council supported a motion from Council Vice President Angela Guarino-Sawaya that the Traffic Commission and the Engineering Department conduct a comprehensive citywide safety audit of crosswalk visibility, pedestrian signage, pavement markings, traffi c signal timing and traffi c calming measures within a defi ned radius of public and private schools, licensed daycare centers, dance studios and youth recreation facilities, youth athletic fields and complexes and senior housing complexes. In addition, Guarino-Sawaya requested the DPW/Traffi c/Engineering Departments report back to the City Council with fi ndings, recommended improvements, estimated costs and a prioritized implementation timeline.
