Poor-quality paint?

Dear Editor:

Last week, the township painted red the Elora Cataract Trailway pedestrian crossing at Frederick Campbell Street.  

On July 10, less than a week later, on the sections where the car wheels roll on the crossing, the paint is already gone.  

What kind of paint was used that won’t last even a week? I’m sure that we, the Centre Wellington taxpayers, paid for both the paint and the work.

Shouldn’t the township be using a paint that will last?

Anthony Martins,
Elora
