From the entire Wilkes East Neighborhood

RE: 162nd Avenue NE Halsey to NE Glisan

Dear Mr. Dorst & repair road crew:

I am writing on behalf of the Wilkes East Neighborhood Association (WEna) and all of our members.

We wish to thank you as well as congratulate you on a job well done on the replacement of the 162nd Avenue
It looks great, rides great, walks with better safety features as well as a project, which was completed as promised (and ahead of schedule).

Curtis Duval our Land-Use Chair who is a retired Engineer with ODOT and also lives at 163rd and NE Holiday Street was pleased with the plan and execution done by your team of workers.

Thank you for taking on a project, which was originally felt to be too expensive. Ultimately this will make our winter driving safer!

Kris Freiermuth, President
Wilkes East Neighborhood Assn. (WEna)
