Miami Beach Restores Rainbow Crosswalk In City Park

Out South Florida reports:

Miami Beach is bringing back its LGBTQ crosswalk less than six months after the Florida Department of Transportation removed the original in an overnight takedown at 12th Street and Ocean Drive. The new installation, made from 3,606 colorful pavers salvaged from the original crosswalk, will be unveiled April 10 at 10 a.m. in nearby Lummus Park. City leaders are framing the project as a direct response to the state’s removal of a landmark that had become a symbol of Miami Beach’s LGBTQ community.

The original crosswalk was removed in October as part of what the city described as a state crackdown on street art. Miami Beach’s replacement does not put the symbol back in the street, but it does put it back in public view, and back in the middle of Pride season. The unveiling is part of the city’s lead-up to Miami Beach Pride, the 10-day festival that began April 2 and ends with the annual parade on April 12. Organizers estimate about 170,000 people will attend this year’s events.
