Meet Tricia
Neighbor
Tricia is a proud resident of the Upper East Side. On any given night, you can find her participating in a community forum, walking along the East River Esplanade, eating at her local pizza place, or meeting with other residents to discuss concerns in our community.
She currently serves as Second Vice Chair of Manhattan Community Board 8, as well as Co-Chair of the Parks and Waterfront Committee. In her time serving on Community Board 8, Tricia has actively worked on local efforts calling for the restoration and enhancement of the East River Esplanade, improved pedestrian safety measures, protecting and preserving our small businesses, expanding services for seniors, increasing the range and quantity of affordable housing, and creating additional pre-k seats for families living on the Upper East Side and Roosevelt Island, among many other initiatives.
Tricia believes there's no better place to live than in the 5th Council District, and wants to ensure that her community stays safe, affordable, and protected for generations to come.
