Page 10 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 18, 2023 Acting Mayor Patrick Keefe, Jr. announces “Responsible Roadways Revere” infrastructure improvement initiative to increase safety and mobility across the city A cting Mayor Patrick M. Keefe, Jr. announced “Responsible Roadways Revere,” an infrastructure improvement initiative that seeks to increase safety and mobility across this city. The City of Revere will be installing speed tables across neighborhoods to help reduce car speeds and deploy traffi c strategies to calm neighborhood streets. The City continues to analyze public safety data from Revere 311 as well as traffi c patterns to best determine where the street humps will be placed. As part of the Responsible Roadways in Revere, there are four additional speed tables scheduled to be installed across the city before the end of the year. “Revere residents have been clear from day one: We need to make our roads safer,” said Keefe. “Road safety is not just a transportation challenge, it impacts all of our residents, and that is what we are addressing here today. This initiative uses data, community feedback, and traffi c patterns as just one solution to creating Responsible Roadways in Revere.” Revere 311 has received nearly 400 speeding and street safety-related requests. In 2022, Revere 311 saw a record-high request for street safety measures to be implemented. To date, speed tables have been installed at Fenno Street and Sargent Street. Acting Mayor Keefe and the City of Revere plan to expand this program in 2024. This work coupled with the city’s master plan, Next Stop Revere, will create the tools and policies necessary for the next generation of success in Revere.
