Home  »  Issues

Fore River Bridge

  • Ensuring that the reconstruction of the Fore River Bridge is done in a timely manner and that its design has direct input from the North Weymouth community.

Route 3A

  • Working with local business community, civic association and mayor’s office to push for a rehabilitation and revitalization of Route 3A from Bicknell Square up to the base of the Fore Rive Bridge.  In order to be maximally beneficial to the residents of north Weymouth, this can only be accomplished in conjunction with a comprehensive approach treatment that is consistent with the Fore River Bridge Replacement Project.

Public Safety

  • Prioritizing our public safety concerns about crime and especially the distribution of narcotics; working with the administration, the town’s public safety committee and police chief to stop the sale of drugs along Route 3A and the rampant vandalism.
  • Continuing to provide ongoing support to flood victims and facilitate the assistance of FEMA and MEMA so that Weymouth residents can recoup some of their losses.
  • Working with residents, neighbors, the Weymouth School Committee and parents to ensure our schools provide the safe atmosphere and physical grounds our students need to thrive.
  • Advocating for Weymouth’s fire department to have the resources they need to protect our residents.

Accountability

  • Promoting the interests of all our citizens by working toward and advocating for the most prudent use of taxpayer dollars.
  • Working with community partners to save taxpayer money through the donation of services and labor to the town’s effort in open space preservation.

Environmental Cleanup/Open Space Preservation

  • Working with ConocoPhillips to ensure the North Weymouth community has public input on their on-going cleanup activities in Weymouth Neck. Click Here for PDF.
  • Advocating for maximal open space preservation along the Fore and Back Rivers.  Over the past four years, Weymouth has acquired several new parcels for conservation, mostly in North Weymouth, including the former Kibbie Property in a joint state-town venture that saved the last piece of coastal open space from development.

Human Services

  • Helping promote the good work of the South Shore ARC and supporting their unique efforts to assist families in and around North Weymouth.
  • Advocating for North Weymouth groups such as the St. Jerome Parish community, which was recently recognized for working with the Mass. Homeless Coalition to provide hundreds of coats to the poor and needy.
