City of Lakewood social media post.
We have some good news, some bad news, and some great news pertaining to road construction around Gravelly Lake.
The good news? On Feb. 14, Gravelly Lake Drive and the new Veterans/Gravelly Lake roundabout will open to through traffic.
The bad news? On Feb. 14, Washington Boulevard will close between Lake City Boulevard and Gravelly Lake Drive. Refer to the attached map for detour routes. This phase of work is expected to be completed by early fall.
The great news? The JBLM North Access project is progressing on schedule and delivering improvements. Sidewalks and bike lanes will improve non-motorized access. New crossings will improve safety. New medians on Washington Boulevard will feature trees and streetlights. New roundabouts will reduce delays and accidents, and improve pedestrian friendliness.

And if there is any left over paving material, the pot holes on Nyana Rd. SW could use some filling. Some were done, but not all.
Thanks.
I like Jean Reddish’s idea about leftover paving material. How about leftover sidewalk paving material to complete sidewalks on the very busy Hipkins Road so that school children have a safe place to stand while waiting for the school bus or pedestrians can safely walk without waiting for cars to pass by.
Thank you
First, they just don’t dump asphalt in a hole. The patch needs to be prepared and the patch needs to be placed correctly, compacted and sealed in order to not be reproduced a few weeks later. Implying you could simply drop some extra asphalt in the hole on your way back to the plant is uneducated.
Second, they are working on Hipkins Road according to the council meetings in November.
