Roadway Markings Program
In 2025, 330km of long line road markings was completed. That's approximately the distance from Chilliwack to Revelstoke! Long line road markings include centerlines, lane lines and edge lines.
2026 Program Details
This year's line marking program is scheduled to start and finish this fall. Work will primarily take place during nighttime hours to minimize disruption. Expect minor traffic delays and keep your distance when the contractor is completing the work.
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 each year’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.
