SHOUT OUT - WABA

Congratulations us.

The Washington Area Bicyclist Association (WABA) recognized Casey Trees for our re-greening efforts and including two "Susie Trees" along the K Street median during the 2009 National Bike Summit. Susie Trees are named in memoriam for Susie Stephens, a bicyclist advocate who was struck and killed by a vehicle in St. Louis, MO.

Thanks for the shout out WABA.
