ApprovePassed · Unanimous, 9 present

Motion presented by Councillor Mercurio: That the City of Revere name a certain portion of land at the corner of Leverett Avenue and Endicott Avenue as the Carole Tye Legacy Garden. This island is currently being developed through the efforts and sponsorship of the Beachmont Improvement Committee, whose dedication to enhancing our neighborhood continues to make a meaningful impact. The proposed garden will feature a thoughtfully designed landscape, including a brick paver area that residents will have the opportunity to purchase as a way to contribute, as well as a well-planned planting design and irrigation system to ensure its long-term sustainability. Naming this space the Carol Tye Legacy Garden would serve as a lasting tribute while also recognizing the community-driven effort behind this project. It represents an opportunity to create a beautiful and functional public space that fosters neighborhood pride and engagement.
