Striping on Jefferson Avenue Downtown Set for Monday

The City of Effingham has been informed a crew will be on the Jefferson Avenue project on Monday, October 21 to do the pavement striping. This includes stop bars, turn arrows, centerline stripes and parking stalls.

The material used is paint and there will be a lot of activity associated with the striping so please use caution when traveling the downtown area and please obey any directions given by signage and the workers. The striping work will be done without closing the entire street – lanes and areas will be closed for short times to allow the paint to dry.

The tires on a vehicle can pick up the wet paint and transfer it to the vehicle and other areas of the pavement. The last thing anyone wants is splatters of white or yellow paint on your vehicle OR white or yellow tire marks on the new red brick stamped crosswalks.

Due to the striping of the parking stalls, the City requests the public’s cooperation in limiting the parking on Jefferson Avenue and the side street parking stalls close to Jefferson for very short durations. Please don’t park on the block the workers are striping.
