Description
I am writing this note as I trucks live park on the street, back up (with that lovely beeping sound), flash very bright lights down the street, and paint pedestrian walkway lines. It's almost 2am - my entire family has now been up for almost an hour. I don't understand how work could be approved in a residential neighborhood to take place at this hour.

We apologize for the inconvenience, with public safety in mind, pavement markings were restored as soon as possible after the first course of paving on Danforth Street. It is standard practice for the Department to install pavement markings at night when traffic is at a minimum as you can imagine the paint takes time to dry before cars can drive on it. Annual re-painting of all traffic markings throughout Town is also performed at night.
Thank you

I understand the need for public safety and the need to do some work off-hours, and I completely appreciate the effort to impact the neighborhood as little as possible by getting the job done quickly, but my issue is with the hour chosen to do the work. The neighborhood is quite quiet from dusk onwards, so why not 9-10pm rather than 1-2am? Even some notice to the neighborhood that this would be happening at that hour would have been helpful, that way we're not surprised and cranky due to lack of sleep.
