Issue Position

With our waterfront development moving forward, I will be a strong advocate for the timely completion of Piers Park Phase II. East Boston needs committed community activists collaborating with elected leadership to leverage the waterfront developers in providing seed money to Piers Park Phase II.

Another priority I have for our community will be completing the Greenway. Once complete, East Boston will be the only community with one continuous multimodal path from one side of East Boston to the other.

As your State Representative, I will also work on activating more pocket parks throughout the community, as I did working with Rep. Basile and MassDOT, when we created three new pocket parks between Maverick and Central Squares this past year.

We currently have one major access point to the water in Constitution Beach, however, there are micro beaches all over East Boston. As State Representative, I will make those areas accessible to residents, so everyone can fully enjoy our waterfront community.
