FOLLOWUP: City crew fills hole at ‘crumbling cul-de-sac’

Just yesterday, we reported on the case of the “crumbling cul-de-sac,” with pavement problems at SW Portland Court including a hole that neighbors said they’d been trying to get filled for three years. They sent a note to a list including City Councilmember Lisa Herbold and WSB on Wednesday; Thursday morning, we stopped by to talk with them and get a look; later Thursday, the councilmember referred their case to SDOT director Scott Kubly. Then this morning, a crew showed up to fill the hole, neighbors Brian and Andy (who shared the top photo) report. (Don’t know if it was the same crew, but we also saw SDOT workers filling a hole on California SW in south Morgan Junction this morning.)

    I called the pothole hot line yesterday and they came today and filled in all of them. 684-7623

    The city works very hard to fill in the potholes. We had a few in front of our house last year.   I called them and the next day they came and corrected the problem. It doesn’t take the West Seattle Blog or Lisa Herbold, It just takes a phone call! Thank you Seattle!

      As noted in the previous story, the residents say they HAD been reporting it. For years. Don’t know why this one, unlike many others, did not get attention, but yes, of course there are many that do, and we have reported that many times over the years. You can report potholes by phone, via the website, and/or via the Find It/Fix It app. – TR

      I have a huge pothole near my house that I have reported multiple times for at least six months, including a face-to-face opportunity with the pothole rangers. It just keeps getting bigger. It is nice when FIFI works, but it doesn’t always.

    It sort of looks like an Owl’s face
