In case you were wondering: We checked in with SDOT this afternoon on two post-storm road issues. SDOT spokesperson Marybeth Turner sent answers. First, on the Beach Drive slide:

SDOT has a bit of work to complete on Beach Drive SW. Crews will continue working on it tomorrow. Until then, the roadway will remain restricted to one shared lane.

Second, we asked about the strategy for re-filling the potholes that lost their fill during the deluge – we noticed multiple cases along Alki Avenue SW while driving around on Sunday morning, and published this photo in our ongoing coverage that day:

The SDOT reply:

Thanks for asking about potholes. We are receiving lots of pothole requests from all areas of the city, at times several reports for the same pothole. We have crews out in force to fill them.

If you want to report one – 206-684-ROAD, or use this online form.

I submitted a work order for Delridge/Sylvan Way SW area (next to the Police substation and behind the AM/PM).

Thanks for the link WSB, hopefully they take a look at it soon!

@Cascadianone, I submitted one for the same location a couple of days ago. There are some real “tank traps” there! I hope they take notice!

Funny I submitted one for the same pothole I think after hitting it squarely when I couldn’t really see it. It’s more like a trough than a hole.

With all of the budget cutbacks, they don’t have the staffing they once did on the pothole repair crews.

.

So, repairs may take a little longer than in the past.

It’s horrible. I cannot remember a year where there were as many potholes left unrepaired. Am in Detroit? Or Seattle?

I hope Mayor McSchwinn takes a nosedive in one of them on his bike. Then maybe he’d do something about them.

Sorry, comment time is over.
