Kingsville considers rainbow crosswalk

KINGSVILLE — Local resident Brianne Taggart brought forward a request at the Monday, April 25 council meeting for a rainbow crosswalk to be installed in Kingsville.

Council had a brief discussion about possible costs and colours and deferred it to the Committee of the Whole.

Intended to demonstrate the town’s commitment to inclusivity for all residents, there are also similar crosswalks in Chatham, LaSalle and Amherstburg.

The proposed crosswalk location would be the corner of Division South and Pearl Street.

Mayor Nelson Santos said that they had received a few letters of support for the idea.

It was suggested to contact LaSalle and Amherstburg to inquire about colours and the types of paint to be used.
