Lynn Underwood Ceglie 2nd WARD KICKOFF

August 21, 2024

5:30-7:30pm

 

 

Since being elected in 2014, it has been a great privilege representing 

the residents of the 2nd Ward at At-Large

​

 I have decided to return to my roots and run for the open

2nd Ward seat.

 

I am proud to cite the following accomplishments:

• Strongly advocated for and voted to institute the two-tier tax program reducing property taxes for Newport residents;

 

Strongly advocated and worked with staff and RIDOT to implement the safety crosswalk on Memorial Boulevard;

• Voted to ban non-homeowner occupied short term rentals in residential neighborhoods

• Continuously work with city’s enforcement officers on speeding, parking, noise, health, traffic, lead paint enforcement, and trash concerns

• As an Edward King House Senior Board Member, I have championed seniors helping to make the city more livable for all residents

• Advocated for the creation of RIPTA/Discover Newport free bus loop –in two summers, 300,000 riders have been provided free transportation throughout the downtown area

• Supported and contributed to the creation of the North End Urban Plan 2022 – a blueprint for the creation of jobs, housing and economic development in the North End

​

• Strongly advocated and voted to bring to reality, a new skatepark!

• Supported conversion and re-adaptive uses for:

 

The Armory into the Sailing Hall of Fame;

Gateway Center into and Aquarium and Adult Learning Center;

Sheffield School into Innovate Newport;

Cranston and Calvert schools in needed workforce housing

I have worked to be fair, responsive, and effective.

My experience on the council is essential in this election.
