Last week I wrote Supervisor Mark Stone and the Press-Banner questioning why a downed tree on a sunny day left Lompico Road closed from before dawn into the night, forcing all residents to make the perilous climb up and around narrow, winding Lake Boulevard.
I am pleased to report that, two days later, I received a copy of a letter Stone sent to the director of public works — on the very day of my inquiry — asking him to look into and address the situation. I hope there is effective follow-through.
I am glad to have a local elected official who is so responsive and communicative about the expressed concerns of his constituents. Thank you, Supervisor Stone.

The tree also took out power, phone and cable lines. I believe it also took out a power pole. It takes time to shut off the power, clear the tree, and secure all the wires to make it safe to use the road.
In most areas this wouldn't be a problem as there are usually multiple ways to get around problems like these. Unfortunately, we don't have that luxury here in Lompico.
