Annual Striping Program

Project Overview:  The goal of the Annual Striping Program is to maintain markings that identify travel lanes and other guidance markings for auto, pedestrian, bicycle, transit and other forms of transportation. The program will result in restriping for more than 30 miles of collector and arterial streets throughout the City. The project is typically divided in two phases:

  • Phase 1 consists of restriping all lane lines with all other pavement marking removal and installation work and downtown curb painting.
  • Phase 2 consists of restriping lane lines on arterial and collector streets.

Timeline: Striping typically beings in July each year and is anticipated to be complete in September
