The City Manager's Weekly Bulletin for January 31, 2025, emphasizes the City of Lakewood's preparedness for potential snowfall, with road crews ready to clear main arterial routes if needed. Residents are advised to drive cautiously and only travel if necessary during adverse weather conditions. In addition to snow preparations, Pierce County has announced road work on Bridgeport Way, which will involve intermittent lane reductions as the depth of existing utilities is assessed. This work is essential for the installation of a sewer bypass and will impact traffic from Interstate 5 through Lakewood to University Place. The bulletin also highlights the upcoming launch of the Hidden Heroes campaign on February 3, which aims to celebrate Black and African American leaders in the community.

This six-week campaign will feature weekly profiles of local heroes and includes a proclamation for Black History Month at the Lakewood City Council meeting. Community members can learn more about these heroes through the City of Lakewood’s website and social media channels. The bulletin serves as a vital communication tool, keeping residents informed about local developments and initiatives.
