Bishop Fenwick senior honored with Fenwick FIRST Award B Danielle Nalesnik APPROVES | FROM Page 1 Park without having to drive through the adjacent Riverside neighborhood,” DeMauro told the commission. Riverside residents were adamant that they do not want park traffi c cutting through their quiet, isolated neighborhood. “The residents do not want any car access through Riverdale once the park is complete,” Ward 5 Councillor Cori McMeniman Angela Guarino-Sawaya told commissioners. Gibson Park is in the midst of a multiyear resiliency project meant to reduce tidal and storm flooding in Riverside while upgrading the park to a modern recreation space. The project combines natural fl ood protection with park and streetscape improvements. Alexandra Gaspar, an environmental scientist with Kaylee Sjursen Western & Sampson, explained that the access road construction will impact the barrier beach and the coastal dune. However, she added that the project calls for 150 square feet of native plantings and reseeding with coastal grass seed mix. But the commission had other questions. Traffi c engineer Peter Wroblewski from the engineering fi rm Howard Stein Hudson explained that ishop Fenwick High School is delighted to recognize Natalie Bono, Class of 2026, of Revere, as a recipient of a Fenwick FIRST award. A graduate of IC Revere, Natalie exemplifi es the core values that defi ne the Bishop Fenwick community: Faith, Integrity, Relationship, Scholarship and Tradition. The following is part of her nomination: She is kind and welcoming to everyone. She selfl essly puts others’ needs before her own. She is an amazing person, willing to take time out of her busy schedule to help a friend or to spend time with her family. She works hard to maintain good grades in all her courses. An asset to the varsity fi eld the access road has a simple design similar to a long driveway coming off the roundabout. He said construction would start in the summer of 2027 and take only a few months. According to Wroblewski, the road will bring 8,000 square feet of impermeable asphalt to the area. Commission member Thomas Carleton said that is a large amount of asphalt in an area known for fl ooding. hockey and softball teams as well as to several clubs, she also dances outside of school. She is a strong leader and can easily put a smile on anyone’s face. She is hardworking, determined, and overall, an incredible person. Natalie Bono He said he doesn’t feel comfortable that a public project can use so much impermeable asphalt when a private project cannot. He asked about alternatives, such as permeable pavers. “That sounds like a reasonable change we can make,” said Wroblewski. But he added that it is important to check with the city’s Engineering and Public Works Departments. “During plowing, pavers come up buckled and broken. They look beautiful, but in terms of everyday maintenance, it’s diffi cult to keep up with them,” he said. He also added that 25 drains have been installed around the roundabout. As long as public works maintain the drains, flooding should not be a problem. Commissioner Wilson Correa requested a log of the planned planting and reseeding. He was also interested in an account of the survival rates for new plants. A Riverside resident asked about plans to protect birds, fi sh, animals and plants from pollution and noise. She said there are endangered plants in the area. But DeMauro said the plan was reviewed by MEPA and Coastal Zone Management. She said there was no evidence of endangered species or risk to wildlife.
