City discusses additional roadways for line painting
Believing additional line painting could improve road safety, city council will examine the costs of increased pavement markings during budget deliberations this month.
Monday, council was presented with the city’s new line painting policy, asked to provide input and select a benchmark as to what streets they would like to see done when the contract goes out for tender in 2018.
Only main arterials and collector routes are currently covered.
In years past, specific corridors were painted in addition to major arterials, collectors and bus routes. But this practice was dropped as bus routes tend to change and others are low volume routes.
