Another Accident on Evergreen

Recently, a current resident of Evergreen who shall remain nameless, posted photos on facebook of a car that had been smashed as a result of yet another accident on Evrrgreen. Those photos have now been deleted. 

But the event still happened. 

So much for the County's "safer route" and "we are not allowed to make things worse." 

Moral of this story is, "When concerned citizens point out lies on a grant application, don't go forward with the project!"
