We will be painting over 230 miles of roads this year starting sometime in September.  We paint all the roads that we chip seal that need lines and we restripe roads that were chip sealed 3 years back.  Roads that receive both center and edge lines are determined by the amount of traffic that the road receives.  We received a Grant for edge lines last which allowed us to put the edge lines on roads that normally would not receive them.
