REVERE — The Revere Conservation Commission approved the Gibson Park boatyard's second-phase permit and pressed the Riverside Roundabout project over erosion-control lapses. Wetland scientist Claire Hogeboom secured unanimous approval of a notice of intent for the Thayer Avenue boatyard site, featuring 26 parking spaces and dock access. Project manager Julie DeMauro told commissioners her team corrected sediment-control deficiencies behind a state notice of potential violation, including covering catch basins for three weeks ahead of a scheduled pumping.
Commissioner Joe LaValle objected on the record to a removed Lynnway slip lane, warning "it's going to be a very bad spot right there," while City Councillor Reno-Sawyer said a Point of Pines resident has already been in an accident there. The board also approved a certificate of compliance for 646 Ocean Avenue, conditioned approval of a 28 Shawmut Street rebuild pending structural drawings, and an extension at 23 Blake Street.
