Sharrows In Missoula

In an effort to make Missoula streets safer some bike lanes will be getting new, longer-lasting epoxy paint starting on Tuesday. Director of Public Works, Steve King says in addition to painting designated bike lanes, the city will also paint 168 bike route markers, or sharrows.

King says cars cannot be parked on the street during the painting and residents should be on the lookout for notices that their streets will be closed to parking just before and during the painting for the rest of the week.
