I would like to thank the Vancouver Public Works staff for its prompt action to repair a curb in our neighborhood.
A vehicle had cut the corner too short and damaged a concrete slab with a manhole covering a storm sewer drain at the corner of Southeast Baypoint Drive and 160th in the Fairway Village community. The slab was broken and raised three inches above the sidewalk, creating a potential hazard for our neighborhood walkers.
Within a half hour of a phone call on March 13 notifying the public works department, a crew had placed a “sandwich board” hazard sign over the manhole.
First thing the next morning, a crew was on site and installed a new slab and manhole.
