Street striping takes place in town this week

The Town sends along an update about the street striping happening in Friday Harbor this week.

Street striping throughout the town of Friday Harbor is scheduled for Thursday and Friday this week. The goal is to complete re-striping of major streets, as well as some of the secondary streets.

Motorists should use caution when they encounter road striping operations. The contractor will place orange cones to signify freshly painted areas. Do not drive across the wet paint stripes. Although the manufacturer claims the paint will dry quickly under ideal conditions, your vehicle tires will likely track the paint if crossed when it is still wet. This tracking will not only make the finished striping job look sloppy, but the paint may transfer onto your vehicle if not cleaned off immediately.

If you drive through road paint, go to the car wash and pressure rinse the area right away before the paint has a chance to set. This will loosen and remove most of the paint unless it has dried for more than a day. Avoid solvents or scouring as this will likely damage the finish of the vehicle.

As always, drive carefully and thank you in advance for proceeding with caution in areas where crews are working in the roadway. Contact Town Hall at 360-378-2810 with questions or concerns.
