Everything is symbolic in this country! Everything is political!

I’d cross the street somewhere else if I lived there.

It breaks down like this:

$800 for labor
$2200 for paint and supplies
$63,000 for kickbacks.

Someone will paint it over with a confederate flag. Can’t wait till that happens.

That paint looks really shiny. I’ll bet they did not use proper pavement marking paint to make those, and that they will be slicker than snot on a brass doorknob when they are wet.

I wonder how many motorcyclists will be injured or killed trying to ride a bike across one of them in the rain - not to mention pedestrians slipping and falling.

It is worth it to feel morally superior to all those other bigots.

I find that offensive and DEMAND it be removed!

That sodomite flag was STOLEN from Christianity and is an insult to my religion and is a symbol of hatred of people of faith!

crosswalks painted to promote a recreational sex practice.

wife swapper crosswalk.

bondage crosswalk.

animal sex crosswalk.

BTW did anyone tell these rocket scientists the act of stepping on a symbol is considered a show of contempt to the symbol.

also, that paint looks slippery and dangerous for cars and people.

They mark their territory with rainbow paint, but we can’t have the ten commandments in a courthouse?

There is no way the painted X-walk will last 5 years. I could see that if they used thermoplastic (heat applied and melted onto the street) strips but the water based paints they are required to use will scrub right off within a year.

As for cost it was probably based on the time to tape off for each color and relocate several times. Something like this: 6 intersections X 4 - 6 color striped X-walks per intersection. Since these were custom colors the chances of having 6 different color pots on one truck were pretty slim. Most traffic painting trucks (white and yellow paint) are equipped with only one pot (requires cleaning to place a different color) or 2 pots, so the contractor would have to rinse and clean between colors.

Is it a hate crime to spit on these sidewalks?

It’s almost as big as the rainbow flag flying over the Starbucks headquarters.
