Stacey Burt

Fifteen years in the Financial District — raising four boys, and paying close attention to the blocks around them.

Lower Manhattan

I got into civic work the way most people do — because something needed fixing near my kids' school, and it turned out no one else was going to fix it.

That's led to PTA leadership, a seat on Community Board 1, and a habit of showing up to meetings most people skip. My husband Brian and I live downtown with our four sons, two dogs, and a cat who runs the household.

Business

Former Laundromat Owner

Owned several laundromats on the Lower East Side and in Chinatown, and learned firsthand what it takes to run a small business — and to keep good people employed — in this city.

A crosswalk, finally

For years, the corner of Trinity and Edgar — right in front of PS 150 — needed a real fix. This year, after sustained advocacy through CB1's Education and Cultural Committee, it got one: a dedicated diagonal crosswalk, redone signals, planters from the MTA, and crossing guards secured through the Hugh L. Carey Tunnel leadership.

It's a small corner of a big city. But it's the corner my kids and their friends cross every morning, and now it's safer. That's the kind of work I show up for.

A school for grades 6 through 12

I'm working with fellow parents, educators, and District 2 partners on expanding Lower Manhattan Community Middle School into a 6–12 school.

Right now, families in Lower Manhattan who love their middle school often have to leave the neighborhood to find the right high school fit. A 6–12 school would give kids a stable, connected path through their teenage years, keep families rooted downtown, and make the whole community stronger. It matters for our students, and it matters for the neighborhood they grow up in.

Stay in touch

I'm always glad to hear from neighbors, fellow parents, and anyone thinking about the same corners of the city I am.
