I have been following this thread and it just struck me. Why was it opened under the “All about Pets” group?

Errors happen. It's the cost of doing business. One thing I have learned is if you are to make the effort to point out someone’s flaws, you have to be flawless yourself. ;)

Is it possible the "fix" was just incomplete and they planned to come back and finish? The big paint truck is on first right now.

Painted line in the middle

I drive that stretch of 1st every day morning and night..I noticed that people on average drove straighter down that paint trail than before the trail to follow.

For all those that wonder how or why the driver didn't notice his problem sooner...stop by a U Haul rental outlet and ask to sit in the drivers seat of a 24 foot moving van for 5 minutes and take the opportunity to see what it is like to be in a bigger truck or at a dealership that sells grain or gravel trucks...see what you can or can't see in the mirrors.

This post such a hornets nest. That must have been a huge can of paint that tipped over to make an 8 to 10 inch wide line for 7 blocks.

I don''t think the post has lasted this long over the spilled paint, I think it''s lasted this long because of people thinking this is some kind of crime that needs to be punished.

Seriously, a paint can fell over and the correction was the same correction they use when they change the traffic lines.

I think the temp on this thread needs to be dialled down a bit
On the forums we often talk about things you don't see everyday. This meets that description and talking about it, asking questions how it happened, etc doesnt automatically mean that there is a mass calling for the firing squad. There's been mention of the organization/department but no names are mentioned and so nobody knows who we're talking about here except perhaps a circle of folks around the person who made the unfortunate oops. In asking questions I think your average reasonable person would just ask for this kind of thing to be learned from, something that having a thread out there with 5000+ views could perhaps have a small part in!

FWIW fading road lines is an issue for cities all over Canada and it sounds like a long harsh winter is just what the doctor ordered. Any takers? ;)

Amusing and disturbing at the same time: Two pages arguing over an accident and the "fix" - neither of which really matter in the great scheme of things.

Talk about contrary people. SMH

Another current thread jarred my memory and figured it was time for a followup. The quoted post wins the prize. One year later, looks like water under the bridge (pic added for photo evidence)
