Thank you for reaching out. If any of these sidewalks are located in front of a business please let us know and we can send Inspectional Services out to issue fines. However, there is no City ordinance for residences. Although they should maintain the property in front of their homes.

Your interest in fines is nice, but what about when the sidewalks are not in front of a residency or business. Can you issue a fine for Revere city then? Someone should be responsible. Thank you.

The area in question is State property.

incompetent people.

We cannot enforce penalties when residential properties do not shovel out the sidewalks in front of their house. We only have ordinances for commercial properties.

Rest assured that the City treats all individuals with the same courtesy and respect. The area you are referring to opposite Overlook Ridge runs along DCR (marsh property) and to the State Highway. The City is not able to clear this area.

If you can not enforce penalties how come we received a notice while away during a snow storm at two of our properties that we would be fined if our side walk was not cleared? It was the only time we didn't shovel out as we weren't in this state. I think people should be fined kids have to walk to school in the street which is very dangerous for cars trying to drive by them

Unfortunately I have to agree. We need a better strategy to deal with winter weather.

Hopeless. Mayor's office filled with incompetent people. An accident and a lawsuit might change things. It always does, unfortunately.

Complain

If the city does not treat roads, there is an accident and there is bodily harm or property damage does that leave the city open to liability?

Definitely city is responsible.

This area is NOT under the jurisdiction of the City of Revere. The area in front of Overlook and the Fire Stations are cleared and the area across the street are State/DCR property. Please contact MassHighway.

Where is the cleared areas? on the left is the cleared pedestrian side walk.

Would the city mind advocating and contacting MassHighway to get these sidewalks clear. It appears Revere residents have been calling MassHighway, but our calls are largely ignored. Thank you

Try contact the MassDOT (http://www.massdot.state.ma.us/ContactUs.aspx). I did this and one issue was fixed. I received a follow-up e-mail from them, too.

We have reached out to MassHighway - District 4 for handling.

This issue has been resolved.
