With street safety issues in the forefront in the community, most snow related, a concern was brought to my attention about the lack of visible painted lines on many roads making driving hazardous, especially so during darkness, fog and tourist season. Time for conversation on this issue. Many times, I have encountered vehicles thinking the street is one way, their way.
