I would like to give a “shoutout” to the Lewis County Public Works Department for their response to a situation I brought to light a couple weeks ago.
I live near the end of Lucas Creek Road in Chehalis where for the past few months there has been lots of heavy weight logging and bridge construction traffic that has deteriorated the road in a few spots.
In the dark, it seemed like I always found this particular pothole on my way to work at 5 a.m. and on the way back home at about 7 p.m.
While heading to town for errands on a day off, I called the Public Works Department at about 11 a.m. and talked to a nice lady about the situation. On my way home from town just two hours later, I was surprised to see a county worker. I stopped to talk to him as he was just finishing up the pothole repair.
Thank you for such a rapid response and following up on the road repair. It is nice to feel like we are heard and part of a community.
