Pride Mural


Pride Mural, originally uploaded by dumbeast.

This intersection needs a crosswalk. For some reason, the City of Oakland doesn't want there to be one there. They've been petitioned to install a crosswalk there, but have refused. A couple months ago, anonymous citizens painted a crosswalk here on their own. It was awesome, and it did the trick, but after a few weeks, the city came and painted black over it.

I'd like to submit a proposal for a mural for DowntownLakeMerritt · Neighborhood Group, Oakland CA

As it's not actually a crosswalk (crosswalks are white on black,
everybody knows that) perhaps the city would allow it to remain.
Additionally, as the mural represents gay pride, removing or defacing it
could be construed as a hate crime.

Just a thought.

I still can't believe the City painted over the cross-walk.
