Councillor-At-Large Stephen Morabito asked for a speed table on Fenno Street. Mayoral aide Gianni Hill was available to update councillors on various requests for help to reduce or calm speeding in different sections of the city. Hill said there have been 14 requests for speed tables. “Those have been identifi ed and they are a starting point,” said Hill. “The goal is to do a few every year as we do with sidewalks.” Hill said three speed tables and one raised sidewalk are in the works. Speed tables will be installed on Fenno and Sargent streets and Winthrop Avenue and a raised crosswalk will be built on Revere Street near Oxford Park. “Those are the projects we are moving forward with,” said Hill. “They are our highest priority areas for this year.” Hill said all requests for speed calming measures will be coordinated with plans for infrastructure work. Morabito made a pitch to bring the Boston-based Slow Streets program to Revere, a proposal approved by the council and then ignored. Slow Streets works with neighborhoods to reduce speed limits and install speed calming measures in order to make streets safer for all users. Morabito said the Slow Streets program has been benefi cial in Dorchester and would be something that could assist Revere. Lawrence A.
