San Antonio city officials have been forced to remove rainbow-painted crosswalks from two downtown intersections following Gov. Greg Abbott's order to eliminate political ideologies from Texas streets. The city had sought an exemption from the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) in November, but was unable to meet the requirement for a "signed and sealed document by an engineer," according to Councilwoman Sukh Kaur. The crosswalks in San Antonio were installed in the city's Pride district in 2018. No increase in accidents at the intersection has been reported, and there is no evidence that rainbow crosswalks cause more accidents. #Texas #SanAntonio #LGBTQIA #USPolitics #RainbowCrosswalk
