Neighbors making Sunnyside better.

Big Win

Matt Levesque & ThisShouldBe.org

Sunnyside neighbor Matt Levesque built ThisShouldBe.org so anyone can photograph the missing trees, broken streetlights and sidewalk hazards that make walking harder. His October walk through Sunnyside brought City officials and advocates out to see the problems firsthand, and the project landed a small grant to reward neighbors who complete walkability audits.
