Although Senator Petruccelli has proven himself to be a knowledgeable and respected member of the Legislature, he has remained focused on the quality of life issues that affect his East Boston district. He has continuously fought against the expansion of Logan Airport while mandating that MassPort pay for the maintenance of the new 17 acre Bremen Street Park. He has been closely involved in the development along East Boston’s once remote waterfront. He passed legislation that helped usher along the development of the Maverick Gardens Hope VI project. Senator Petruccelli has advocated for the modernization of the Orient Heights T Station as well as the development of the old Joseph Barnes School as a state-of-the-art housing facility for East Boston senior citizens.
