BURLINGTON, ON
Rainbow Crosswalk are now part of the Burlington streetscape.
The first was put in place across Lakeshore at Burlington Street, at a cost of $10,000.
Public response was very positive and there was appetite for other Rainbow crosswalks.
The city did a survey asking people where they thought the next cross walk should be.
The response to the survey was very high – the preferred location surprising.
Citizens chose to have the next Rainbow Crosswalk on Fairview, near Drury which would be basically in front of the Halton District Catholic School Board.
The report on the survey and the results will be going to Community Planning, Regulation and Mobility Committee on Tuesday June 8th beginning at 9:30 a.m.
It will be interesting to see if there are any delegations.
The Halton District Catholic School Board chose recently to not permit the raising of Rainbow flags at Catholic schools.
This. Yes!
Ten thousand dollars? This is what is wrong with big government.
$10,000 seems high. But how about the on-going maintenance costs? Periodic spot painting, eventual replacement, etc.
$10 k, YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING!!! Surely the city can find someone to do this for a heck of a lot less.
The best spot in town!
