Another horrible idea from recent decades — crosswalk “art.” Our San Fran Peninsula town made colorful geometric designs on a “T” intersection downtown. Instead of just the crosswalks, they did the entire intersection bounded by all three cross walks. It was so easily predictable that it would wear, get dirty and look awful. Sure enough, that’s what happened.
It’s obvious WAY too much tax money is collected if city people even THINK about this crap.
Our local town, Fort Walton Beach, FL, several years ago tried to spruce up the town intersections by painting them to look like fake brick pavement. They didn’t last a complete year before they were worn and faded...................
So screwed up. Misapplication of the old “you can’t have gum if you didn’t bring enough for everyone else” or “you can’t have gum because some damn fool threw his on the sidewalk and it stuck to my shoe” You can’t say anything about the favorite son of your city because every damn fool with an agenda wants to plaster his everywhere displaying his “equal rights”
We are a nation divided not just in two simple parts like in the first Civil War but split in so many desperate ways we will never be united again.
What a effed up world we live in.
Yep. Crosswalks should be crosswalks. You are spot on. Leftists just use this as a way to inject ideology into every damned thing under the sun...
Yeah, well how the heck are Buddy Holly artworks political?
buddy holly had to be gay... hanging with a guy called the big bopper and all...
/sarc
but if you put art in the road, expect road rage critiques.
Malicious compliance?
Because we can’t simply say were are sick of homosexuals and their LGBTQ propaganda, we must remove Buddy Holly from a cross-walk to have “equal treatment.”
homosexuals are agents of corruption for everything.
Undoubtedly a malicious directive from some leftist at DOT.
No Buddy glasses, no rainbows, no blm on our streets, sidewalks, and crosswalks.
Undoubtedly a malicious directive from some leftist at DOT.
Yep.
Anyone who rides a motorcycle appreciates removing ALL crosswalk “art.”
Yes, it’s SLICK!....................
One of the most beautiful towns I’ve ever visited was Oberammergau in Bavaria. Most of the houses had wildlife scenes and/or animals painted on the outside. Crosswalks were unpainted, as they should be.
Eliminate ALL of this, have one standard and use it everywhere, period.
No doubt replace it with a George Floyd one.
yuk, that serves no purpose. If someone doesn’t know Buddy was from Lubbock that’s not going to remind them.
