Day 1070
Laying down stripes
December 4th, 2014
I'm walking every street in New York City.
This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US. Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled more than 8,000 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!

Your donations allow me to keep walking full-time. If you think what I'm doing is valuable and you'd like to offer some support, I would be very grateful. On the other hand, if you think I'm a worthless bum, feel free to email me and tell me to get a job, bozo. Both are excellent options!
Considering the time of year, and the heavy clothes they are wearing, it has got to be well below 50 degrees and I doubt they are using low VOC traffic paint, the use of which which has been mandated by the DOE for the last few years now.
I think these are thermoplastic stripes, actually, although the temperature is supposed to be at least 50°F for application, and, like you said, it was not that warm out — probably still under 45 at that point just before noon.
