Heads up! City of Ferndale and Whatcom County Public Works will be striping the streets in the Ferndale area this Friday, August 30th.
Signs and cones will be utilized to keep drivers out of the wet paint and No Parking signs will be going up in various locations in order to maintain access to paint areas.
Drivers can protect their car from damage by keeping an eye out for striping crews and avoiding lane changes on freshly painted lines. If you happen to drive through wet paint, it can be removed immediately by using soap and water as the paint is water based. Please drive cautiously and provide plenty of space for crews when driving through a work zone.
City Offices will be closed on Monday, September 2nd, in honor of Labor Day. The regularly scheduled City Council Meeting will instead be held on Tuesday, September 3rd.
As always, emergency services can be reached by dialing 9-1-1. City Offices will be open again on Tuesday, September 3rd for regular business hours.
