Opposed to 74 Revere Street development

I am writing to oppose the A-26-36 submitted to the zoning board by Basilio DiFlumeri in regards to the property at 74 Revere Street. This house was purchased by my great grandparents in 1900. It is where my grandparents also lived and raised my mom and her siblings. It was the place where all the cousins would get together. So, yes I have a strong attachment to this home. With that said, the new owner wants to get a permit to build a 10-unit, 4 story apartment building on that lot. If he gets that permit, his next step would be to apply for a permit to demolish this beautiful, 126-year-old Queen Anne Victorian home.

Suffolk Downs celebrates official lighting of the Lighthouse at Beachmont Square

The HYM Investment Group LLC (“HYM”) and the City of Revere recently celebrated the official lighting of The Lighthouse at Beachmont Square at Suffolk Downs. Located just outside the MBTA’s Beachmont Blue Line station at the site of the former Beachmont Roast Beef, The Lighthouse serves as a new visual landmark and gateway to Beachmont Square, helping to knit together the Beachmont neighborhood to the 161-acre Suffolk Downs redevelopment. The illuminated tower symbolizes the continued transformation of the historic Suffolk Downs site into a vibrant, connected, mixed-use community and will serve as a beacon for residents, commuters, and visitors of Beachmont Square. The design of the tower pays homage to the former structure that sat atop the Beachmont T Stop and served as a visual marker to commuters.

ABC News Live: Boston students stage walkout to call for remote learning amid surge

The rat problem is out of control

I have lived on Beacon Hill for many years but the rat infestation is now worse than ever. We have rat holes in our building’s front garden that neither baited boxes nor carbon monoxide seem to mitigate the problem. The rats are under cars, climbing onto car tires to escape from dogs, eating garden plants and without any fear of humans. In the October 22 meeting, City Councilor Flynn called for a rat Czar to be hired and held accountable for our City’s rat issue – Boston being amongst the 10 most rat-infested cities in America. At the meeting, residents spoke vociferously about trash being put out the night before for the nocturnal rodents to feast upon. (Yes, “feast” was the word most often used). Why are white lightweight kitchen bags permitted rather than steel bags? Barrels would be best but buildings don’t have the storage capability. Of significance, is that the City contract with Capital Waste Services has a 6 am scheduled pick up when most residents are still asleep. Why not change the city contract pick up time to 8 am and give violations for any overnight trash? Can the City not exercise their muscle to revise the next contract accordingly? Residents had many questions and were upset with the City’s lack of progress.
