Years of driving on the thin layer of asphalt coating either side of the Ruston School building have taken their toll. Add to the mix a large construction project a few feet away across the alley and here we are. The town and new owners of The Commencement building negotiated an agreement where The Commencement would repave the school lots in exchange for release from some previous obligations.
Construction equipment showed up Monday morning and started work. It appears the project includes removal of at least some of the old rusted fence. I have asked the Mayor Hopkins to confirm how long until completion and what the plans are for the rest of fencing. No word from him yet. But hopefully a new driving surface will be installed soon.

Hope they will also, repair the failing alleys between 52nd (to) 53rd (to) 54th Winnifred st and Highland st.
These alleys are going to need repair sooner than later. The sinking is worsening. Would this repair be possible!
I can't speak to your question. I encourage you to contact Mayor Hopkins with your concerns. His email is bruceh@rustonwa.org or call town hall at (253) 759-3544. This blog is separate from town government and I don't think town officials read it.
What is the difference between "The new school parking lots" and the "Mary Joyce community center parking lots"?
The Mary Joyce Community Center is part of the school building - namely the old gym that has been converted into a nice, large room with a kitchen, stage and such. I would assume we are talking about the same parking lots.
