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.

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 Youth & Education 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.

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.
