Crews were seen Monday morning beginning the process of removing rainbow crosswalks from San Antonio’s Pride Cultural Heritage District, after months of back-and-forth between city and state leaders.

The city is already working to add rainbow treatment to the sidewalks along the stretch of North Main Avenue, known as the “gay strip.”

The City of San Antonio’s LGBTQ+ Advisory Board held a holiday meet and greet on Tuesday night.

The deadline for cities and counties across Texas to remove painted crosswalks is Friday, Nov. 7. That date is 30 days after the Oct. 8 order from Governor Abbott and TxDOT to comply with a federal directive to keep roadways safe.

Weeks after KSAT’s Know My Neighborhood series highlighted safety concerns on a street in Denver Heights, the City of San Antonio made improvements to slow traffic down.

A city briefing on a program part of the larger Bike Network Plan update conversation drew overwhelming community support, while some committee members questioned the project’s lengthy timeline.
