South End Neighborhood Council

We had a great Pop-Up Clean-Up in New Tacoma today!

In one hour we collected about 6 bags of trash from around Broadway & Division 🙂

Special thanks to Melodi for shouting out this location & to Josh, Mary & both Kathys for showing up & showing some love for New Tacoma!

Another beautiful Walking Tour in Birney on 5/7

Jennifer Kammerzell and her fan club (the rest of us) walked the neighborhood taking notes of opportunities for improvements, and learning about Safe Routes to School upgrades coming next to Birney Elementary including sidewalks, bulb-outs, and traffic calming. We even managed to continue our streak of sunny Walking Tour weather!

🙂 Special thanks to Amber & her dad Bob for joining us 🙂
