ALT Green school-type chalk board split in 2 by a vertical chalk line. On left is a list of Things Kids have Sacrificed for Drivers. Playing on their street. Safe school streets. Walking to school. Biking to school. Walking to the park. Random play. Crossing the street. Playing at night. Independence. Quality Street life. Air quality.
