#SafeTree
Today's #goodnews comes from our neck of the woods. Tacoma got a grant from SafeTREE Routes to School which aims to increase tree canopies near school.

Volunteers planted 80 trees near Mann Elementary. Trees reduce visibility making cars slow down so it's safer for kids walking to school. 😊

Looks like you could be right, things like Safetree should have been funded through the ACC money that formed WS funds alongside vote funding and licensing. But it was always tricky allocating the ACC money because of a fundamental disagreement about measuring value.
