Light Up Squire Road The City Council supported Ward 3 Councillor Anthony Cogliandro’s motion that the mayor be requested to talk to National Grid about which poles along Squire Road can handle a light installation, and the cost for the work. Library Makeover Councillors Joanne McKenna (Ward 1) and Angela Guarino-Sawaya presented a motion for a feasibility study for the installation of a handicap-accessible ramp at the front entrance of the Revere Public Library; if a ramp is found to be infeasible, the study should explore the installation of an exterior elevator lift. Don Martelli, a member of the Library Board of Trustees, responded to the motion during the public comment segment of the meeting. Martelli explained that the library is a historic building and the Board of Trustees is looking for grant opportunities to upgrade it. Martelli said the hope is to incorporate the ramp proposal into broader plans to improve the library. Play Ball Ward 5 Councillor Angela Guarino-Sawaya presented a motion that the city conduct a feasibility study to evaluate the installation of a basketball court at the corner of Dunn Road and Shawmut Street; should that site be found unsuitable, the study should consider the existing park at the corner of Neponset and Sagamore Streets. Beachmont Green Thumbs The City Council received a request from CFO Richard Viscay to transfer $60,000 from the Community improvement Trust Fund for the construction of a community garden in Beachmont. Pitcairn Street City councillors supported Ward 3 Councillor Anthony Cogliandro’s motion that police be requested to provide additional traffic enforcement on Pitcairn Street, particularly for the no heavy commercial vehicle restriction in the interest of public safety and preventing damage to the roadway. Clean Up After Pets Ward 5 Councillor Angela Guarino-Sawaya proposed that the Public Works Department install dog waste stations along Rice Avenue and that the DPW continue weekly maintenance of the stations. Call for Public Hearing The City Council supported Ward 3 Councillor Anthony Cogliandro’s motion that the City Council hold a public hearing to revoke for cause the Chapter 148 License # 221, 870 Broadway granted June 14, 1926.
