Full RecordingPride and Veterans Memorial Decorative Crosswalks (C-202)
Council decided to use banners instead of painted crosswalks to honor Pride and Veterans, saving money on maintenance.
"The original plan for a Pride crosswalk ($20k) and a Veterans Memorial crosswalk ($20k) was revised. Council previously decided on banners for Veterans. Councillor Brown moved to treat both the same, replacing the Pride crosswalk with banners to reduce maintenance costs and fiscal impacts. Councillor MacKenzie opposed, noting the different funding and symbolic nature of the two projects."
Formal MotionPassed
"THAT the Pride and Veterans Memorial Decorative Crosswalks capital project be amended to remove the Pride decorative crosswalk while retaining banners; AND THAT the 2026-2030 Financial Plan be amended to reduce the project cost to $20,000 for banners."
