Page 10 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 26, 2022 BUSLANE | FROM Page 1 parking fi ne from $100 to $50. “Other than that, I think it should stay on and I don’t think it causes any additional problems to the city,” said Cogliandro. Revere Parking Director Zachary Babo said he also supports making the bus lane permanent, but agreed with Cogliandro that a $100 fi ne for parking in the bus lane is too high. Babo said the city might also want to reconsider the hours for the lane, noting that after 8 a.m., there is increased traffi c from people dropping off students at school and stopping at local businesses. Ward 6 City Councillor Richard Serino spoke against making the bus lane permanent, noting issues other cities have had with similar bus lanes causing traffi c congestion. He said he is also concerned that allowing the bus lane on Broadway would open the city to implementing lanes on other streets, such as Squire Road, that could lead to traffi c issues. Several residents expressed concerns that the bus lane hurts businesses along Broadway. Wayne Rose said the three minutes saved for bus riders wasn’t enough of a tradeoff . “I’ve talked to business owners, and they say it hurts their business, especially the ones that open at seven in the morning,” said Rose.
