The City of Burlington has replaced three rainbow crosswalks with pride-themed pole wraps across the city, citing defects in the crosswalks causing them to winter poorly and break apart.
“It’s important to the city to ensure that #BurlON’s 2SLGBTQIA+ community is recognized respectfully,” the City of Burlington posted on X. “Our rainbow pole wraps, crosswalk, benches and banners are important features and key landmarks geographically and socially for #BurlON.”
The wraps have been placed at Upper Middle Road by the entrance to M.M. Robinson High School, Fairview Street at Drury Lane and Plains Road West at Botanical Drive
The rainbow crosswalks will be replaced by standard, white-stripe crosswalks.
