Motion presented by Councillor McKenna: That the Mayor be requested to contact our State Delegation to direct MassDOT to halt the reconfiguration of Bennington Street. The reconfiguration project will decrease four lanes of traffic to two lanes of traffic for the purpose of establishing a bike lane on both sides of Bennington Street. This reconfiguration would be catastrophic to Revere residents, especially Beachmont, where Bennington Street is the access road for evacuation in the event of an emergency. Bennington Street is also a major roadway for regional commuters to and from Boston. This reconfiguration will bring traffic to a standstill.
