[url]http://www.globalwinnipeg.com/fading+lane+markers+frustrate+drivers/6442819655/story.html[/url] [quote=Global News]You may have noticed something missing if you have been driving around Winnipeg lately. The lines that define the lanes have faded on many city streets and it will be awhile before city crews are able to paint new ones. "Over all we've had to put out more sand on the streets than we normally would so it has an impact certainly on the line markings," said Ken Boyd, the manager of streets maintenance for Winnipeg.[/quote]
Who's line is it, anyway?

Free Skating at my arena. Lol Don't think my bosses would like that, but If they close all the arenas they want to, I'll be jobless Next winter anyways. People don't seem to stay in their fuckin lane even with lines, So I haven't noticed any change without them lol.
lanes in Winnipeg right now are simply dictated by tire tracks in the snow haha. this city sucks :(
We lost our road lines about teo months ago.
It's a pain in the ass to drive here where the lines have faded. Also, winnipeg-punch represent.

Im amazed that there has never been anyone from Winnipeg on Canada's Worst Driver. The number of times I Fear for my life in a day is bewildering. Are people really that much worse in other parts of the country, or are we just too boring for a tv show?

Winnipeg's Worst Driver would be an awesome show! "You have to navigate this course and not hit any pylons" "Then I get my smokes right?"
