THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 13, 2022 Page 3 Morabito wants brighter lights on Broadway Councillors to query Suffolk Downs’ biosafety info By Adam Swift C ouncillor-at-Large Steve Morabito wants to see more lights shine down on Broadway. At Monday night’s City Council meeting, Morabito presented a motion asking Mayor Brian Arrigo to request the public works and community development departments to install decorative street lamps extending the entire length of Broadway. “I submitted the motion because many residents expressed their concerns about the lack of lighting at the beginning of Broadway and at the end,” said Morabito. “Currently, the streetlamps on Broadway, they exist from Fenno Street all the way going northbound to Rossetti Street, so that leaves no streetlamps going southbound from Fenno to Revere Beach Parkway, and northbound from Rossetti to Beach Road.” After submitting the motion, Morabito said he received information about funding for some additional street lights from the community development program manager. “She informed me that their department had submitted an application in their annual plan for the community development block grant, and if approved by HUD, they would be able to install six to eight streetlamps,” Billy Tse’s 441 Revere St., Revere (781) 286-2882 www.Billytserevere.com Hours: Sunday – Thursday, 11:30 AM – 9:30 PM; Friday & Saturday, 11:30 AM – 10:30 PM • Order Online: www.order.mealkeyway.com • Reservations: Billytserevere.com Sushi Chef David, formerly of Super Fusion in Boston with Billy Tse’s owner, Xiang Wang at the brand new Sushi bar.

Since late last year, a small group of residents and other meeting attendees have disrupted the monthly HRC meetings, calling for the abolishment of the commission and raising concerns about issues like the Black Lives Matter movement, Critical Race Theory and the end of Columbus Day celebrations. Several of those meetings were ended early by HRC Chair Janine Grillo Marra as the disruptions got out of hand. The April meeting ended before the HRC got to the public forum portion of the meeting, much to the consternation of some of the commission’s critics in attendance. The latest meeting of the HRC on May 5 was mostly a more ordered aff air, by recent standards, as the commission made it to the public forum. Several residents raised their concerns about the direction of the HRC, while one woman who identifi ed herself as Mary Santos took her time at the podium to explain why she was dressed as a mayonnaise bottle (for Cinco De Mayo). Several Revere residents did use the public forum as an opportunity to voice their support for the HRC. “It’s an honor and a privilege to be up before you, and I truly applaud all the work FORUM | SEE Page 21 TOBACCO ---------TUBES CIGAR SMOKERS DELIGHT! 15 Handmade Churchill Size Cigars including a Cohiba - Long wrapped $43.95 Celebrating our 50th Year!
