STREET STRIPING MATERIALS - REPORT. In a memorandum dated May 14, 1990, Assistant Public Works Director Linnane identified the following striping materials and compared costs and benefits of each based upon reflectivity, wear and cost: oil -based paint, epoxy -based paint, thermoplastic striping, and heat tape.
