City, county to stripe Florence streets this week
Florence Public Works
announced that striping
of city streets will begin
Thursday, Aug. 15, and
conclude on Friday, Aug.
16, weather permitting.
The City of Florence
maintains 79.2 lane miles
of roadway with approxi-
mately 39.5 of those cen-
ter lane miles. Under a
co-operative contract with
the City of Florence, Lane
County crews will begin
striping city streets on
Thursday, weather permit-
ting. Crews can only stripe
when the road is dry and
the temperature is above
50 degrees.
Next to traffic control
device maintenance, strip-
ing is a top safety priority.
Drivers, cyclists and pe-
destrians are asked to re-
member to give striping
crews plenty of room and
watch for the orange traffic
cones on Florence streets,
as well as “wet paint” signs
on the vehicles in front or
behind the striper.
Although crews will use
fast-drying, water-based
paint, driving over fresh
stripes or changing lanes
when following a striping
crew can remove the re-
flectivity of the stripe, re-
duce safety, increase main-
tenance costs and spray
paint onto your vehicle.
The City of Florence
does not assume responsi-
bility for paint on vehicles.
The paint used in the
striping process is engi-
neered to last, so it may
be very difficult to remove
from your vehicle if you
drive on it while it’s wet.
Once crews spray the paint
on the roadway, it can take
as little as 30 seconds or as
long as five minutes to dry.
If a driver does happen
to drive over wet paint, it
should be removed within
the hour by a high-pres-
sure hose and using warm
soapy water.
The city and county will
deny all reimbursement
claims if a driver crosses
over wet paint.
In order to be prepared
for the striping, watch for
orange traffic cones, warn-
ing signs and warning
trucks. Don’t change lanes
behind a striping truck and
do not drive on the yellow
or white lines.
The paint is water based,
which is better for the en-
vironment, and as the paint
is applied thousands of lit-
tle glass beads are deposit-
ed upon the wet paint. The
glass beads reflect lots of
light even at night. When
vehicle headlights hit the
paint, tiny spheres in the
glass beads reflect the
light, making the stripes
brighter for drivers in dark
or rainy conditions.

street striping operations,
call City of Florence Public
Works at 541-997-4106 or

humanities efforts.
Cultural
Opportuni-
ty Grants are available to
for-profit and nonprofit or-
ganizations, as well as indi-
viduals, to support access,
awareness, and education
for programs and projects
related to arts, heritage and
humanities.
Grant amounts range
from $500 to $2,500.
Spencer has served on
the LCCC board for a
number of years and is
enthusiastic about the op-
portunities afforded by the
group to improve cultur-
al access, education, and
awareness to Lane County
residents and, in particu-
lar, Western Lane County
residents.
In last year’s funding
cycle, more than $45,000
in grants was awarded by
LCCC to support 21 cul-
tural programs or projects
across Lane County.
If unable to attend the
workshop, the public is still
welcome to complete an ap-
plication for an LCCC Cul-
tural Opportunity Grant.
