  1. Former Mayor Emeritus Harrison will give a 15th anniversary of city-hood presentation. During today’s regular council meeting at 7 p.m., Mayor Emeritus Bill Harrison will give a presentation on what fifteen years of incorporation has meant for Lakewood and will offer his historical perspective. All citizens are welcome. Light refreshments will be served afterwards to commemorate the City’s 15-year anniversary.
  2. Construction Update on Bridgeport Way improvement project. From March 7-9, weather permitting, Miles Resources, the company contracted to the project, will be performing night work to install underground utilities across Bridgeport Way. During these days, Bridgeport Way from Steilacoom Boulevard to Custer Road will be closed to all through traffic from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. Local traffic with no detour option will be allowed access to and from their residence; however, delays should be expected. The link below provides detour information. Custer Road and Lakewood Drive are the best options. As the project progresses, additional night work closures are anticipated in association with the traffic signal installation at 86th Street and the final paving operation.
