Things are getting worse on Treadwell Lane ... it has become a one lane road with familiar Treadwell drivers stopping to let oncoming drivers pass by before entering the most treacherous sections of Treadwell. Driving in the middle of the road is the best way to survive Treadwell Lane, but "center lane" driving has also become a video game experience, with a series of new potholes, roughly the size and depth of uncovered manholes, appearing in the middle of the road. Naturally, a few days ago, the town commissioned more quick-fix fillings for our newest potholes. These will last until the next rain followed by freeze when they will pummel us all with broken fill.

Town of Weston, PLEASE HELP before we are swallowed up by these potholes!

I want to keep you all appraised of the drama unfolding here on Treadwell Lane ... today, I witnessed another shoddy attempt to quick-fix the caverns that litter our fair street ... a single man who declined to make eye contact (presumably out of shame) while he shoveled some black rocky substance from the back of his truck into various holes. Your trusty correspondent doesn't know if he was refilling the potholes "repaired" at the beginning of this week or if he was filling additional holes.

Hello again, loyal readers. My husband took a call today from selectwoman Weinstein, who expressed her concern about the drama unfolding here on Treadwell. I didn't get to speak to her myself as I was picking up children from preschool, so I cannot relate for you her tone. My husband said she was nice but perhaps frustrated with my silly rants when the town is really doing all it can to maintain the drivability of the road until the weather improves enough for a lasting repair (let us hope that means REPAVING!). I am sure that you are happy to hear the town is aware of our situation here in the outer reaches of Weston and is plotting the total demise of those potholes!

I leave you with a humble apology for my tongue-in-cheek humor ... I truly meant no harm. While it has been mildly frustrating to watch the road become worse over the years, no real harm has been done by its poor condition. Sure, there have been a few exciting moments entering my driveway after unusually heavy rain ("will I make it?"), but even those have only been a mild annoyance to me. There are things in life worth getting really upset about and potholes aren't anywhere on that list.

In any case, I am very pleased we can expect lasting improvements in the near future. Thank you very much, Gayle, from all of us who use Treadwell Lane to get around town!

Hello again! I am once again reporting from Treadwell Lane on the latest pothole developments ... while the potholes have been patched over five times that I've noticed since my last report, no lasting repairs have been made. Avoiding oncoming traffic has become quite a sport during morning school drop-off as cars from both directions are forced into a narrow part of uncratered road. While I am seasoned at this game, my heart still misses a beat when I see that oncoming car barreling down on me ... it is like auditioning for a fast and furious movie! We are well into road work season now, with no sign of an repaving effort for Treadwell ... hopefully, in the next month or two, we'll receive word of help on the way!

Hello again! I write from an address on the freshly repaved Treadwell Lane! It is a joyful experience to glide down our perfectly surfaced lane into my relatively bumpy driveway. The nostalgic side of me misses the near-miss driving excitement of days gone, but I must thank Weston taxpayers and others involved in fixing our roadway. Thank you!!!
