The Dalles and Wasco County road crews will paint the center and side lines on most high traffic streets throughout the community Monday through Wednesday of next week.  Work will begin at 7:00 a.m. each day, weather permitting.  Motorists are asked to watch for the crews and avoid driving on the wet paint.  The paint truck will be preceded and followed by warning vehicles, with signs calling attention to the wet paint.  The trucks will be spaced according to the necessary drying time of the paint.  Attempting to pass or drive between the trucks will result in a messy striping job and paint damage to the motorist’s vehicle.  In recent years, paint with low “volatile organic chemicals” has been used in order to protect the environment, but it is slower to dry, taking about 4 minutes, so extra precautions are needed to give the paint time to dry.
