Dozens of intersections are about to have their crosswalks upgraded to make them more visible.
The city says 65 signalized intersections will be changed to zebra crosswalks from rainbow markings.
The decision was made after they evaluated their effectiveness, with the change expected to be phased into a multi-year plan.
Eight will be changed over this year, with new rainbow crosswalks that will be repainted at other locations.
HRM says they understand the “symbolic importance” of rainbow crosswalks, particularly during Pride Month, and is committed to implementing the program in a “respectful and transparent way”.
There will be temporary delays at these locations while the upgrades take place over the coming weeks:
- Spring Garden Road and Queen Street
- Agricola and North streets
- Barrington and Sackville streets
- Lacewood and Thomas Raddall drives
- Gottingen and Nora Bernard streets
- Quinpool Road and Vernon Street
- Quinpool Road and Harvard Street
- Near 6206 Quinpool Road
