Roadway Markings Program
2025 Program Details
This year's line marking program is scheduled to begin in mid-June and continue through the fall. Work will primarily take place during nighttime hours to minimize disruption. Expect minor traffic delays.
Through the program, many of the city's road markings are repainted, including but not limited to crosswalks, stop bars, long line markings and school zone markings.
Information on the Program
Every year, staff drive all 300km of the City’s roads to assess the conditions of line markings and determine what needs to be painted. That information is then shared with the City’s line marking contractor to complete any necessary works.
There are two main types of markings that will be completed as part of eachyear’s program: paint and thermoplastic. Paint is installed for most of the lines as it is lower cost and easier to apply. Thermoplastic is a melted plastic material that is thicker, more durable, and more visible. Thermoplastic is installed on all new roads and for stop bars, crosswalks, and in roundabouts.
If you have any questions about the City's roadway markings program, please contact the Engineering Department at 604-793-2907 or [email protected].
