Just a shout out to the city of Burien for repairing some, though not all, of the crumbling sections of Ambaum Blvd. north of downtown.

Unfortunately, many of the patches failed in the prolonged December freeze.

Still, a "thank you" is owed.

Now, it would be great if the utility providers -- surface water, natural gas, sewer, water -- would get out and fix the many sunken utility covers in the roadway.
