This issue has been referred to the DPW for handling.

The snow banks have been lowered in this area.

Unfortunately, the sidewalks are still impassable. RHS students are still forced to walk in the street. This issue has not been resolved. Please clear the sidewalks.

The sidewalks are filled with snow. I still have to walk on the streets.

I am forced to walk on the street and with cars passing I don't want to get hurt or anger the drivers.

Hello! I would like to say that walking through Mountain Avenue is a truly stressful experience, and I think I almost got hit by a car once probably. It's super dangerous! I'm sure there are just dead bodies just thrown all over the sidewalks of Mountain Avenue. I don't even live on Mountain Avenue, but it's clearly atrocious. It's at least a meter deep. People are drowning in piles of this white demon that has overcome our city. This is a winter apocalypse, and so this snow needs to get removed immediately!

My house is near mountain ave and even though I don't walk home I feel the pain for the people who have to trudge through the large boulders of snow just to get to school on time. It should be plowed for the safety of school walkers.

As a lifelong resident of Revere and a teacher at RHS who walks to and from school in all kinds of weather, I want to confirm the need to clear sidewalks better. Snow is almost never removed from the sidewalk along the Sonny Meyers Park, and walking in the street in that intersection is very dangerous. The same can be said about sidewalks on School Street approaching the high school: the sidewalk that runs along the green space is never shoveled and we are forced to walk on a street alongside buses and cars. Again, this is a dangerous situation. Thank you for the good work you do, but please find a way to do more to ensure pedestrian safety.

I believe that some of the snow removal might be the responsibility of the homeowner. If so, maybe a city worker could remind the homeowners there of their responsibilities and how it affects the students.

Lowering the snow banks was not the solution. It may be at fault of the homeowner or of snow plows that push the snow into these banks, but regardless they must be totally removed somehow if students are going to be able to walk to and from school. Thanks for the hard work, regardless.

The Guardian Angels or similar may be helpful in terms of shoveling out sidewalks. Maybe a representative of the city could reach out to them?

As a resident and employee in the city of Revere I find the condition of sidewalks, especially at intersections, appalling. It is only a matter of time before someone, young or old, is hurt. The forecast for another 6 inches of snow will only make things worse. Hopefully this will be addressed before classes begin again following February vacation.

As a resident of Revere and a teacher at RHS, the high snowbanks are a dangerous issue. Many students from this area have come to the teachers requesting help in this area. Surely we can remove these snow banks for the safety of our children. As for a more personal situation, the banks are also a problem in other sections of the city. One house on Bosson Street actually had a snow plow build a snow bank in front of their house on the sidewalk making it impossible for students or pedestrians not to walk in the dangerous streets. We must do a better job of plowing these streets. Hopefully this can be cleared up before the students have to walk to school, walk down Revere Street and such.

Waitt Park needs to be better plowed, it is a dead end st and it seems like the plows are lazy to do a second pass because they have to room to turn around and they have to reverse all the way through, we have a neighbor that has a plow and he usually finishes the half done job, we shouldn't have to rely on the neighbors to clean the st.

Let's help keep our Revere kids healthy by allowing them to walk to school safely. No one should have to risk his/her life to walk to school or anywhere else for that matter.

Maybe we should do something about the gangs in the city perhaps?

Perhaps you should open an issue thread on the gang problem. This one is about snow removal on Mountain Ave.

We will ask the DPW to try to remove the high piles of snow especially in school areas. As for the sidewalks, we ask that all residents PLEASE clear their sidewalks in the interest of public safety especially those in a school area. Thank you for reporting that the area along the open space on School Street has not been cleared and we will have the DPW address.

The DPW has cleared the sidewalks along the open field on School Street as well as Sonny Myers Park in the interest of public safety.

As happy as I am to hear that the sidewalks on School St. have been cleared, the topic of this issue is Mountain Ave. As those sidewalks are still snow-covered, the city should stop closing this thread.

And unfortunately, asking residents to "please clear their sidewalks" won't be enough (even if you use all caps). So if the city isn't going to clear the sidewalks, then the board of health needs to issue fines to these residents. That way they can at least prevent it from happening next time.

Issue resolved

As you can see in the foreground and background of this photo taken at 6:23 on 2/24, the piles are still there.

Unfortunately, the snow that remains in the one or two areas, is the responsibility of the homeowners.

And it is the responsibility of the city to fine those homeowners.

The City ordinances only allow for the fining of business owners and properties containing more than 6 - 8 units.

Shouldn't the board of health be able to fine an individual homeowner whose actions (or lack thereof) pose a danger to the public?

This issue has been resolved.
