Please take the PVD Rescue Plan survey on how to spend the funds from the American Rescue Plan Act distributed to the City! pvdrescueplan.com/pvd-rescue…
Al has been missing since last Friday morning and his neighbors are concerned. He has been ill and is missing his treatments. Please RT and let us or @ProvidenceRIPD know if you see him.
.@CityofProv is getting $160 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds from the federal gov't. This week @pvdcitycouncil is planning to allocate $42M of it with no public input & in some cases, such as $7M for small business recovery, no detail on how it will be spent. 🧵

Earlier this spring, at the request of @Nirva_LaFortune, the Mayor’s Office and City Council formed a COVID-19 Recovery & Resiliency Task Force that should inform this process for public input.

“The ruckus of planes and cars takes a toll beyond [our] ears. #Trafficnoise has been flagged as a major physiological stressor — second to #airpollution and on a roughly equal footing with exposure to second-hand smoke and #radon.”

Thank you @davidcicilline, @SenWhitehouse, @Jorge_Elorza for taking time to discuss the #AmericanRescuePlan. I'm excited @pvdcitycouncil passed my resolution to create a task force to engage with the community and provide recommendations for the funds. I look forward to the work!

Our DPW crews are out making repairs to multiple streets throughout the @CityofProv. If you see a pothole in your neighborhood, please report it through the @PVD311 app so that we can dispatch a crew to repair it.

"The report’s authors suggested the city create an Office of Neighborhood Services, which could serve as the umbrella agency & liaison between different city departments & organizations that could respond to certain calls rather than police/firefighters."

A group of city councilors are proposing to create a special commission to recommend how to spend the Biden stimulus funds in Providence. (This resolution was referred to the finance committee)
Spring is approaching and with it potholes, downed branches, debris, and many other hazards on our streets and sidewalks. But don't just complain, report it! The City can't fix what they don't know about. Take pictures and tag @PVD311 here, call 3-1-1, or use the smartphone app.
