The Boston Public Works Department reports a crew this morning put down new crosswalk stripes at the intersection of Dubois and Orchard Park streets this morning.

Earlier this week, a grandfather painted his own crosswalk to try to protect the kids crossing there to get to the nearby Orchard Gardens School.

The city had repaved the roads earlier this year. PWD said it had planned to put down new stripes several times earlier but until today had always been foiled by rain.
