Motion presented by President Pro Tempore McKenna: That the Acting Mayor request the Traffic Commission and MassDOT to reconfigure the signalization and pedestrian light at intersection of Winthrop Avenue and Revere Beach Parkway. For traffic continuing on Winthrop Avenue towards Beachmont, the pedestrian signal turns red when the traffic light turns red for traffic continuing on Revere Beach Parkway towards Revere Beach. This is causing major traffic backups on Winthrop Avenue. The pedestrian signal should remain green until activated allowing traffic to flow towards Beachmont.
