Letter: Pave before painting

By Paul Presler, Vancouver

Today I went shopping and drove on Fourth Plain, going east from Grand Boulevard, and I saw that painting strips were done both east and westbound. Why are they wasting paint and manpower on a road that needs paving work done now? There are severe cracks and potholes everywhere and the weight of those articulated buses does not help. No, that much weight breaks down the pavement in heat and cold. But to get back to my question, why was Fourth Plain not on the repaving schedule this year before painting strips? Bad management!
