STATE HOUSE – Rep. Doreen Costa (R-Dist. 31, North Kingstown, Exeter) is working closely with the Department of Transportation to ensure commuters in her district continue to have access to free parking in the wake of the possible sale of the current Park and Ride lot located at the intersection of Routes 102 and 2.

“I have been working with the DOT and looking at every option available to ensure that free parking continues to be available to my constituents,” said Representative Costa. “I have been in constant contact with Bernie Frezza, DOT legislative liaison, since the issue arose and continue to work diligently for my constituents. It is my goal to have DOT establish a new, free lot for commuters should the current property be sold.”

Recent reports indicate that CVS is interested in purchasing the property.

Said Representative Costa, “I have always been here 100 percent for constituents and will continue to be. I am happy to meet with them to discuss this matter or any other issues they have in my district.”

About rhode island house republicans

In 1636, Roger Williams, founder of Rhode Island, established the first working model of Democracy after being banished from Massachusetts for his “extreme views” concerning freedom of speech and religion. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams publicly acknowledged Williams as the originator of these concepts, along with the freedom of public assembly, in the First Amendment in the United States Constitution. Today, Rhode Island House Republicans uphold the liberties designed by our Founders and preserved in our Constitution, and are the primary legislative body promoting lean government, fighting for lower taxes, and advocating for initiatives and policies that improve the economy and in turn, the lives of Rhode Islanders. As members of a part-time assembly, we are small business owners, retired educators, community activists, lawyers, farmers, military service veterans, volunteers, former local officials, retired social workers, coaches, musicians, churchgoers and board directors -- bringing these community engagement and professional experiences to our work, on your behalf, at the Rhode Island State House.
