 |
|
Popular science named Lexington as the #25 greenest city in the US, and noted we have the highest recycling rates in the country or something.
Thats just another nod in the right direction for complete streets and the greater good of our region. |

Maybe they meant "greenest" as in, most money spent foolishly?
