The group worked pretty fast, going down the hill while cutting back overgrowth, shoveling soil off the sidewalk, & raking/brushing debris

3/3 A few final pics of #SeattleStreetFixers #TooleDesign crossover cleanup
-we also cleared this stairway at Beacon Ave/College St that had blackberry vines growing over parts of the railing
-you can see the areas of the sidewalk that were previously covered in soil; some parts were 1/2 covered!

@bobco85 This is great. I've tried to make horticultural folks realize what an issue landscape design and maintenance is for accessibility. Too many folks let their plants overrun the sidewalk that mobility aid users depend on. Thank you for doing this work.
