Since the first installation in Surrey, rainbow crosswalks acknowledging and celebrating the LGBTQ community have been popping up across the region.
Since spring, permanent installations have also been made inĀ Port Moody,Ā Richmond, and Burnaby, which plans to eventually create four rainbow crosswalks — one for each of its town centres.
A rainbow crosswalk was also unveiled at the intersection of Lonsdale Avenue and 14th Street by the City of North Vancouver last week.
There are now roughly 50 LGBTQ rainbow crosswalks installed or in planning stages across BC, including the famous rainbow crosswalk in the Davie Village in downtown Vancouverās West End. Other crosswalks include locations in Coquitlam, New Westminster, and White Rock.
