Impact analysis
Taxpayers likely footed the bill for both painting the crosswalk in the first place and then removing it to appease federal authorities.
Federal officials who wanted local streets cleared of political or social symbols get their way.
Local LGBTQ+ residents and allies who saw the crosswalk as a vital sign of community support and inclusion feel sidelined.
