Rainbow crosswalk cleaned following apparent vandalism

Richmond’s rainbow crosswalk, located on Minoru Boulevard, was cleaned on Wednesday following an apparent act of vandalism that happened recently.
“A city crew was out early this morning to clean the markings from the Pride crosswalk and (they) are expected to be on site much of the day,” said Clay Adams, the city’s director of corporate communications and marketing.
Earlier this week, the crosswalk had what appeared to be a black “X” drawn in the middle of it.
Adams said the city is “disappointed that someone would do such a thing.”
“Richmond is a diverse and inclusive city and such actions do not reflect who we are as a community. It also results in unnecessary use of time and resources by city staff,” he added.
The rainbow crosswalk was installed in 2019.
