As new-ish residents in Newton, my children and I were almost hit by a car in a dangerous intersection while walking home from school. Alicia helped us navigate the process to advocate for a stop sign at the intersection and ensured our school was able to improve the blue zone drop off area as well. Alicia’s leadership on safe biking and walking is such an asset to our City and I am grateful to know our councilor does so much hands-on work as well, from volunteering time in the community to leadership on beautification efforts like the planters for local restaurants.

I have been neighbors with Alicia for more than 20 years. Since day one, I have known her to be a tireless and amazingly effective advocate for keeping our community safe. Her knowledge of transportation, from traffic dangers around schools to parking concerns around express bus stops, is unique and vital to the City Council. Alicia is committed to accessible, green transportation that benefits all Newton residents.
