No, your eyes don’t decieve you…
They did paint right over that ring. Not only does it seem like the Expressway work is taking almost as long as the Walker Road underpass (which opens this weekend… YAY!), but the job is half assed as well apparently…
I have seen some dumb lazy crap in this city, but this about takes the cake. 🙂
I’m guessing the guy who paints the lines will offer up the famous defence of “it’s not my job!”
Special thanks to Ken who sent along this great photo, and for putting a smile on my face when I opened this photo.
David, advanced waring, please don’t tun this into an anti-union rant. For all you know it could be the paving company that’s the lazy ones…

I was going to say that it could've been painted roadkill, but somebody beat me to it. Okay, somebody could've been sitting there at the side of the road trying to thumb a ride, and not paying attention, and gotten striped! So it could've been worse!
Thats classic. Aaron I can so see something like this being down there at the sculpture garden. I mean if a box of Corn Flakes poured on the ground or a bunch of Saffron coloured fabric gates put over a trail that remind me of some arcade racing games can be called art. Then surely this can be. Whats next the raccoon sitting on the side of the road getting a nice new layer of white to co-ordinate the tire ring?
Is that the Howard Ave. exit? I thought I saw that a couple weeks ago but didnt register as I went by it.
A'Burg Dave, don't forget apple fingers and steel butt!! yeah, those gates could really bring you back to "pole position" huh? lol just don't confuse your HI and LOW gears or you'll bike too fast down that trail and then you're just plain screwed!!! :)
oh, and that looks like the westbound approach on lauzon to me BTW lol
i love this photo! this needs to be made into a postcard -- welcome to windsor!
Aaron: You're right about those. Apple Fingers though should be in an indoor art gallery though. The paint job on it is too nice for it to be out in the elements. Pole Position!? I still got that game... Oh man that does it, I'm breaking out the Atari and putting it on the HDTV tonight.
Pole Position was one of my personal favourites growing up. I remeber how awesome I though the graphics were as a kid lol...
alright, i'll give apple fingers some credit. steel butt has to go though.
hell ya andrew! when your car blew up running off the road??!?! nothing did it better!
atari still rocks. i just hated in E.T. i'd fall in this hole and even though you could extend your neck and fly i could never manage to get out :( lol
That is an awesome picture - I totally LoLed. And I'm generally not much for LoLing.
This reminds me of how the city fixes potholes (if anyone else has actually ever witnessed this)
Basically they shovel out some hot asphalt, get back in the truck and then drive it over the pothole a few times to flatten the asphalt. Of course, a truck wheel can't actually flatten asphalt well, so it ends up sinking into the existing pothole, spilling the asphalt out the sides and making the situation arguably worse. Gotta love the City of Windsor... why do a job right?
lol yeah....i've seen that too. as far as i'm concerned, fixing a pothole should mean cutting a square around it, remove the pothole, and fill in the square. doing it the other way just makes a more shallow pothole.
