It’s that time of year again for the City of Penticton’s annual road line painting.
The road painting is set to begin this week and should be completed by mid-May. Infrastructure that will be getting repainted includes on-street parking stalls, directional arrows, crosswalks, parking lots and bikes lanes.
Construction of the second section of Penticton’s lake-to-lake bike lane is also well underway.
In October, city council approved the estimated $4.7 million price tag for the next phase of the lane.
Work on Duncan Avenue, Atkinson Street and Kinney Avenue will mostly proceed from north to south on various routes:
• Between Fairview and Duncan
• From Duncan to Kinney
• Between Lanes and Atkinson
• From Atkinson to South Main Street
Before construction on the next phase of the project begins, however, the city issued a statement reminding people about the road delays they should expect to see during spring.
“Residents, businesses and drivers in the area should expect to see crews at work during day-time hours, Monday to Friday, with more activity ramping up through the months of May and June,” the city said in its announcement.
