Letter to the editor: Put better paint on Prince George streets

I understand the paint was changed to save the wildlife, but I haven’t seen any wildlife being harmed on account of licking the roads.

I have a wonderful suggestion to save lives and make Prince George a friendly, safe place to visit and live.

Please update the street surface markings with paint that lasts so people can see where they are going. I understand the paint was changed to save the wildlife, but I haven’t seen any wildlife being harmed on account of licking the roads.

What I have seen is drivers confused, driving in the wrong direction or the wrong lane and turning inappropriately. This is a safety concern for all.
