The idea
More trash cans and manpower to take care of our public spaces. So much trash and unkept parks around the city, especially in East Boston. Improve our roads! They are rollercoasters filled with potholes. Bike riders, cars, busses...deserve better!
Who it helps and why
Safe spaces for ALL neighborhoods in Boston, not just the ones that are visible for tourists.
