ers of students with severe disabilities
told us‘ they needed to do their jobs
better,” said Hope, R-Lake Stevens. “The

students to spend more time progress-

Prepare for repairs on 20th Street SE
JOURNAL STAFF
The west end of 20th Street SE, west of
Cavalero Road, has a section of roadway r
pavement that has been in poor condi-
tion for the past several years.
The County, and now the City as of
2010, has had to perform regular pave-
ment patching nearly on a weekly basis.
The problem has been that the surface
pavement is separating from the base
pavement which is resulting in potholes
developing nearly as fast as repairs can
be, performed. '
Under the County, a permanent repair
washeld off since the plan had been to
perform the reconstruction of 20th Street
SE between US 2 and 91st Avenue SE in
2011 including this section of roadway.
However, due to the funding shortfall
by the County, the road improvement
project was put on hold.
While the long range plan is still to
perform the road widening improve—
ments in this area, the City has decided
that an interim repair of this distressed
section of roadway is necessary as soon
as practical.

it was voted unanimously in support of
awarding a contract to Lakeside Indus-
tries to perform a pavement repair of this
section of roadway. It is anticipated that
the entire project could take up to five
days to complete.
The project start date is dependent on
weather for both temperature and an
extended dry period.
It is hoped that this will occur in late
April or May.
Due to the narrow section of roadway,
providing a travel lane during the con-
struction will be difficult and sometimes
not possible. Signs will be posted in
advance with estimated times for con-'
struction.
Motorists will be advised of alternate
routes during the construction period
or to expect long delays along 20th Street
SE.
“Although there will be some inconve-
nience during this repair, it is absolutely
the right thing to do for our citizens,"
Mayor Vern Little said.
Recognizing that this roadway is a
major route for daily commuters, the
City and the Contractor will work to do
their best to minimize the disruption to
the public.

tions” is designed to galvanize the basic
warrior attributes of sacrifice, dedication,
teamwork and endurance in each recruit
through the practical application of basic
Navy skills and the core values of Honor,
Courage and Commitment. Its distinctly
“Navy” flavor was designed to, take into
account what it means to be a Sailor.
