City's Line Painting Program Delayed by Mechanical Issues  

Equipment updates and mechanical issues on the City's paint truck have caused a delay in the municipal line painting program this season. Staff in the City's Traffic Department have been working quickly to get the truck and paint system up and running. In the meantime, staff have been prioritizing painting of residential intersections, crosswalks, and stop blocks. 

With the paint truck now operational, a plan is in place to complete line painting of the city’s main arterial roads by the beginning of August, pending weather and further mechanical breakdowns. This includes the Connecting Link, Airport Rd., Laforest Rd., and Hwy. 67 (Municipal Rd.).

Residential and secondary roads will be completed by mid-September. The Traffic Dept. has 367 km’s of residential and secondary lines to paint. Some priority areas like Jubilee and Theriault Blvd. have already been completed. Updates on the location of line painting are provided daily on the City's official Facebook site. 

Intersection painting along the Connecting Link will be completed by the end of July, pending an alternative traffic protection plan that will allow line painting to be carried out during the day. The Traffic Dept. is working on this plan now.

We appreciate your continued patience while we continue painting.
