Yes: Argenzio, Chris Giannino, Cogliandro, Guarino-Sawaya, Kelley, McKenna, Mercurio, Novoselsky, ZambutoThe minutes list Robert J. Haas as absent for this vote (on the attendance list for the meeting); left out of this vote.

Motion presented by Councillor Guarino-Sawaya: That the Mayor, Traffic Commission, Revere Police Department, Massachusetts State Police, Parking Department, and Inspectional Services be requested to increase enforcement against delivery vehicles, rideshare operators, and commercial drivers — including but not limited to Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Instacart , Amazon Prime , and similar services — who routinely double park or stop in active travel lanes on Revere Beach Boulevard and other major roadways instead of utilizing legal parking or designated loading areas. Residents continue to raise serious concerns regarding drivers who stop in travel lanes, place vehicles in park, and leave them unattended while completing pickups or deliveries, despite the availability of nearby legal parking options. These practices contribute to traffic congestion, unsafe roadway conditions, delays for motorists, and potential barriers for emergency response and public transit operations. This Council further notes that enforcement expectations must be applied consistently. Any private motorist who obstructs a travel lane and leaves their vehicle unattended would be subject to immediate enforcement action, and the same standard should apply to all commercial and delivery operators utilizing city streets for business purposes. Finally, that the City coordinate enforcement efforts with the Massachusetts State Police and evaluate whether additional signage, designated loading zones, or enhanced penaltie
