Utility markings are a necessary part of construction to protect underground infrastructure: however, they often remain long after projects are completed, leaving streets, sidewalks, and public spaces with unsightly, lingering paint marks. The City of Wheat Ridge currently lacks a clear requirement for their timely removal, resulting in aesthetic and maintenance concerns across the community. Establishing formal standards for utility marking removal will ensure that construction sites are properly restored, maintain the community’s visual appeal, and align Wheat Ridge with best practices in neighboring cities.
