Three Burlington rainbow crosswalks recommended for removal

After approximately $27,000 was initially spent and more for subsequent repairs of three rainbow crosswalks installed in 2021, City of Burlington staff have recommended they be removed due to “persistent quality issues” with the materials used.

If the crosswalks are returned to the less-colourful “ladder” style, staff propose wrapping two traffic poles at each intersection with rainbow colours, using graffiti- and sticker-resistant wrap, to recognize the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.
