Seattle Mayor Ed Murray unveiled rainbow crosswalks in the Capitol Hill neighborhood early Tuesday morning.

The Capitol Hill Seattle Blog reports the LGBTQ community has been working on the symbolic effort for years.

The rainbows were installed Monday night at six intersections on Pine and Pike streets.

The city said the project cost about $66,000. The crosswalks are expected to last three to five years, but the city said it plans to maintain them for years to come.

SDOT spokesperson Rick Sheridan said the work was paid for primarily using Street Use fees, which come from developers using the public right of way.

"SDOT typically reinvests the funds in neighborhoods that are experiencing development and where the fees are being generated," Sheridan said.

I used to ride my bike through the Capital Hill area. I described it two ways:
1. The circus is always in town.
2. It’s full of ugly people, as in, “they work hard at being ugly”. Seriously.

I don’t miss it one bit, though.
