Dodging sewer lids

Thu., Aug. 31, 2017

After a winter of potholes, we now face another shock-absorber hammering. Am I the only one in Spokane who has to dodge the sewer lids that are not at the asphalt elevation? Why is it so hard for paving companies to get the elevation correction? Try going up Nevada from Francis and not having your fillings rattled by deep sewer lids. Or try Dishman-Mica. That one will break your shocks!

I have become adept at driving along and dodging these low level lids and just can’t understand why pavers can’t get it right.
