Striping of Banner Grade Delayed

Striping of Banner Grade Delayed

With all the beautiful repaving done, residents of Banner and Shelter Valley are wondering why there has been a delay in restriping town and Banner Grade. There are actually two reasons. The first is that Cal Trans engineers are having a much more difficult time than they had anticipated laying out the new carpool lanes on Banner Grade. The second and more ominous reason is that even though the guy with the spray gun and truck is ready, when he went to the Home Depot to buy the paint, he found that the Cal Trans credit card wasn’t any good because of the budget crisis and the fact that higher risk cardholders are having their credit lines drastically reduced. It looks like it’s happening soon, but in the meantime, drive very carefully.
