We paused some of those videos during the pandemic while we shifted to helping our community get though COVID.<\/p>\n<p>While the pandemic isn\u2019t behind us yet, I did just dust off a video we created right before\u00a0 COVID changed our world. In early 2020 I visited the Sewer &amp; Traffic Operations (STOP) facility to see how we make the myriad of signs that help our residents stay safe on our streets and trails. That\u2019s why you won\u2019t see any masks in the video &#8211; what a marker in time!<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, my thanks to Steve Martin, a maintenance supervisor in PPW. He gave me a great tour and even let me help create one of our street signs.<\/p>\n<p>I was staggered to learn how many signs we maintain throughout unincorporated Pierce County.\u00a0 Care to guess?\u00a0 Watch this video to find out the answer \u2013 and I will bet your guess is way off!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed wp-block-embed-youtube is-type-video is-provider-youtube epyt-figure\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_51862\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/o8TjfsgVtYM?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=1&playlist=o8TjfsgVtYM&modestbranding=0&rel=0&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/figure>\n<p>Until I visited the Sign Shop, I hadn\u2019t given much thought to how important it is to get damaged safety-related traffic signs replaced quickly. If a stop sign is knocked down, a once safe intersection could quickly become hazardous for drivers and pedestrians.\u00a0 That is why we maintain a two-person team on-call 24\/7.\u00a0 They routinely replace damaged signs within one hour of notification \u2013 and received national recognition for their response time!<\/p>\n<p>Our work at Pierce County includes many things our residents could easily take for granted: effective wastewater treatment, well maintained roads, and clear, reliable signs that keep them safe and on the road. These are just a few of the\u00a0ways that our residents depend on us every day.<\/p>\n<p>As I close, I want to remind you about the upcoming Town Hall meeting next Wednesday.\u00a0 You can submit anonymous questions <a href=\"https:\/\/my.co.pierce.wa.us\/FormCenter\/Communications-8\/Employee-Townhall-Questions-299\">here<\/a>.
