Dear Editor: I don’t often agree with Councilman Mario Guerra but at the latest City Council meeting he brought up a good point.

At numerous intersections in Downey the streets and sidewalks are defiled with graffiti markings left behind by public works crews. They are orange, red, blue and various other colors. I’m sure the markings were important during construction so as to avoid gas and power lines, but there is no reason workers couldn’t clean up the markings before they packed up and left.

I hope the road work currently happening on Firestone and Lakewood won’t be ruined by similar street markings.
