Using paint for crosswalk markings in the city doesn’t work very well.
The Deputy Commissioner for Municipal Operations, Kevin Rice says in our climate, the paint begins fading after about four months so the city is now trying out something else………3-M tape on the crosswalks along Woodward Avenue.
The city will evaluate how long they last and do a cost analysis to determine if this will be better financially for the city instead of having to repaint every spring.
