The Dalles Public Works Department Will be Painting Center and Side Lines On Several Streets
From City of The Dalles Public Works Department:
By Jill Hoyenga
The City of The Dalles Public Works Department will be painting the center and side lines on several streets throughout the community on Monday, August 14 through Thursday, August 17, 2023, beginning at 6:00 am each day, weather permitting.
Motorists are asked to watch for the crews and avoid driving on the wet paint. The paint truck will be preceded and followed by warning vehicles, with signs calling attention to the wet paint. The trucks will be spaced according to the necessary drying time of the paint. Attempting to pass or drive between the trucks will result in a messy striping job and paint damage to the motorist’s vehicle.
The purpose of this project is to provide clear lane and bike path designations for the safety of the traveling public.
Motorists are strongly advised to avoid the wet paint because it cannot be easily removed from vehicles.
Please proceed with caution around work areas and observe all temporary traffic control devices. Thank you for your assistance during this work.
