During the warm weather, the Committee cleans up on a regular basis, according to Heiser. Heiser said she identifi es Committee members as the “Clean Street Sweep Fleet.” “We’re neighbors working together for a cleaner, friendlier, better Beachmont,” Heiser said. Committee member Joseph Parzel found Peroni beer bottles and an endless supply of nips, or small alcoholic shots.

Tye suggested having a presentation of what should be trash out the window driving by. “People should take pride in this neighborhood,” Wilson said. BIC member Carol Tye collected bottles to take home to recycle. “We should all try to be environmentally friendly,” Tye said. “It not only keeps the neighborhood clean, but it means so much for civic pride.” Tye went on to say that she hopes others built in Revere so that people can base their input on what’s to come. “I think that’s one of the best suggestions that we’d heard today,” Department of Public Works Superintendent Paul Argenzio said. Cowan said the data shows will do the same. BIC member Nancy Dowd found nips, paper, cans, Dunkin’ Donuts cups, and cardboard. “I get tired of looking at trash,” Dowd said, “so I want to clean it up and have the city look pretty.” Tara Vocino may be reached at printjournalist1@gmail.com. that residents don’t have many options for recreation and they asked for a YMCA, or similar space.
