She is the vice-chair of the committee on streets and services of Philadelphia. Her responsibility is to help keep the streets, bridges, alleyways, driveways, and the roads clean and free of garbage. “All matters relating to the surveying functions of the city.”
In the past, as it has been researched there has been a bill that was passed by the Mayor on October 21st, of 2009 that has been sponsored by Ms. Maria D. Quiñones-Sánchez. Which is bill that amends the provisions of Philadelphia’s code regulating dumpsters. The bill describing that dumpsters need to be in licensed areas, kept well painted, and etc. The link to the PDF version of the enacted bill 090123-AAA is here. https://docs.google.com/a/scienceleadership.org/viewer?url=http://legislation.phila.gov/attachments/9251.pdf
I currently live in the Seventh District of Philadelphia in which is the District that Ms. Maria D. Quiñones-Sánchez is the democratic council member of. http://citymaps10.phila.gov/Map/default.aspx?&SA_PLANNING_2000Councilmanic=on
A streets department program called “Philly Spring Clean Up” was started in 2008 and the even was most definitely a great event. The turn out was amazing, so for the past four years there has been annual events where Philadelphians help clean up around April. In 2010, for the Philly Spring Clean Up event, Mr. Jason Dawkins from Mr. Ms. Maria D. Quiñones-Sánchez has acted as project coordinator to organize volunteers for the event. Within the Philly Spring Clean Up, the Philadelphians that are resided help de-weed, clean up parks, remove debris from areas, repair benches, help paint and etc. In 2008, it was confirmed by ‘Keep America Beautiful’ that the Philly Spring Clean up event for the single day had the largest city-wide clean up on record. Ever since there has been this amazing event that happens in the spring to help the beautification of Philadelphia. Being as though Ms. Maria D. Quiñones-Sánchez is in the help of beautifying Philadelphia, I feel as though she is a great person who represents me and my lobbying topic.
