My name is Ryan Kenny and I have been a resident of the North End for almost 9 years. Shortly after moving to the North End, I served as a little league coach for several years and I also participated in the North End softball league.
I have had the privilege of serving as a member of the North End/Waterfront Neighborhood Council since 2009. Shortly after being elected, I formed the Resident Traffic and Parking Committee. With the help of the city of Boston, the Resident Traffic and Parking Committee has created hundreds of new full-time parking spots for North End residents. In addition, the Resident Traffic and Parking Committee has worked with the city to alleviate the often confusing and incorrect signage throughout the North End.
As a member of NEWNC, I have consistently voted with the idea in mind of keeping the North End quiet and safe. I believe in maintaining a balance between developing business in the neighborhood, while protecting the quality of life of the families and individuals who live in the North End.
If re-elected, I will continue to fight to protect resident parking and I will make sure that all resident traffic concerns are heard. If re-elected, I will continue to vote in a manner that encourages business, but protects our residents quality of life. The North End is the best neighborhood in the city of Boston. If re-elected, I will do everything I can to keep, protect, and honor the traditions that make us all proud to call the North End our home.
I am #4 on the ballot, and I would greatly appreciate your vote on Saturday, May 17th.
Thank you,
Ryan
