Recently, Lekakis worked to pass a law to preserve more green space and support a mechanism to add even more. Lekakis has also supported infrastructure improvements, mass transit improvements, a green bus fleet, and many other initiatives to tackle transportation pollution. If re-elected, Lekakis plans to pursue projects supporting local food production, community gardening, neighborhood cleanups, and education that allow her constituents to be aware of their consumption and waste.
