the travelled (so to speak) portion making it less
travellable ?

(c) From Councillor Pratt to the Works Manager:
Lloyd Wright would like to resolve the problem of his
culvert heaving so that he may repave his laneway so that
is won't be destroyed in the spring. Can you consult with
him to come up with a solution (costs etc.) ?
