@msnow: The rainbow crosswalk in Orlando, Florida, that was part of the city’s Pulse Memorial was painted over by the state late on Wednesday night. Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer criticized the removal of the crosswalk on social media, calling it a “cruel political act.” The memorial was created to honor the 49 people fatally shot by a gunman at the Pulse LGBTQ nightclub in 2016, one of the largest mass shootings in the country's history. Hours after, community members came together to color over the repaved crosswalk.
It costs the state more money to remove it than to leave it in place

This wasn’t a “rainbow crosswalk” it was a memorial for victims of a targeted mass shooting

“Taxpayers expect their dollars to fund safe streets, not rainbow crosswalks, so we’re gonna use their money again on the same rainbow crosswalk that was already there”

That “data” has proven that painted crosswalks actually help slow down cars in heavy pedestrian locations, making them safer

This is so wrong, the community coming together to repaint it shows the love and respect we have for the victims.

Let me get this straight (pun intended): the rainbow crosswalk is political but it's NOT political to have statues, streets, and schools named after Confederate "heroes".

It’s dangerous to have different colors on the road way . It confuses drives … white and yellow pretty simple
