Avery Seuter became involved with local politics through efforts to expand pedestrian and wheelchair access at York County Community College. Avery currently serves on the Energy Advisory Committee where he is working with Public Safety and the Library to provide bike lights to local kids. When not attending public meetings, Avery works on a lobstering tour boat and enjoys cooking, painting, and hiking!
A Vote For Avery is a Vote to:
Restore Trolley Service
Did you know, each summer, our trolleys moved 50,000 people in just 3 months? Before it was shut down, the Shoreline Explorer was the spine that connected the region's various other trolleys, buses, and trains together. Without it, the homes and businesses on Route 1 no longer benefit from the increased economic activity and reduced traffic that trolleys provide. As Selectman, I promise to work with YCCC to offset the cost of CDL certifications. I intend to work with our local transit authorities to allow for more seamless transfers between lines, and create a plan for a modernized blue line. Together we will reduce traffic, ease the strain on parking, and allow everyone to get where they need to go!
Defend Our Lifeguards
Did you know that last year Wells cut three lifeguard stands from our beaches? Thanks to the vigilance of our lifeguards, locals and visitors can safely enjoy our waters. They are key to keeping our tourism economy afloat. So why is it that many of them cannot afford to live in our town? Why do roughly half of our lifeguards need to work multiple jobs? With your vote this June, I will advocate for better pay to retain and attract some of our most crucial public employees!
Expand Outdoor Recreation
Wells’ trails and nature preserves greatly improve our local quality of life. I will work closely with the Conservation Committee and Planning Board to identify and direct resources to maintaining neighborhood trails so that residents have safe places to walk. When new neighborhoods go in, we will ensure that walking trails and sidewalks are included from the jump. Completing The Eastern Trail is a high priority for me! If you have spent time biking, jogging, or walking your dog on the Kennebunk segment, you will know the value of bringing the trail to our community. Finally, I will push for a true multi-use path between YCCC and the Train Station. Connecting our communities with trails and sidewalks will get students, workers, tourists, and residents to their destinations while also providing a safe place to enjoy the outdoors.
