DEPARTMENT FUNCTIONS
EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. – East Providence Mayor Bob DaSilva has created the “Mayor’s Young Innovators Advisory Committee” to advise and consult the administration on issues impacting our cities youth.
On Tuesday, August 11, 2026, the City Council approved an ordinance amending Chapter 19 of the Revised Ordinances to update Section 19-360.12 regarding attached single-family dwellings. The change brings East Providence’s zoning code into full compliance with Rhode Island General Laws 45-24-33(26) and 45-24-37(j). This update clearly defines and permits attached single-family dwellings, such as townhomes, in appropriate zones that already allow multi-family housing.
On Tuesday, August 11, 2026, the City Council authorized the Mayor to enter into a contract with UpLinkIt to increase school safety at St. Mary Academy – Bay View.
This partnership strengthens security measures at the long-standing East Providence educational institution, supporting a safer learning environment for students and staff. The initiative reflects the City’s commitment to collaboration with local schools and the shared goal of protecting the young people who learn and grow in our community.
On Tuesday, August 11, 2026, the City Council authorized the Mayor to enter into a contract with Musco Sports Lighting, LLC for the installation of new LED lights at Pierce Memorial Stadium.
The upgraded lighting will improve visibility and safety for athletes, spectators, and community users while delivering energy-efficient performance and longer usable hours at the historic stadium. This investment supports high school athletics, youth sports, and public events, ensuring Pierce Memorial Stadium remains a high-quality facility for East Providence residents for years to come.
