Rant on- I hope someday gay people can just accept that being gay is nothing fucking special. No parades or goddamn rainbow crosswalks. Sorry, you being gay doesnt mean anything different that me being straight, just shut up already.- rant off "I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on.

Why so expensive? Any painting contractors to lend insight as to the cost? | |||

Follow the money. Somebody got right on that one. How many other happen that aren't controversial, that nobody hears about. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

If they say it cost $196,000, it likely cost twice that much. A perfect example of inefficient government. Does anyone believe that Trump would've paid that much for that on one of his projects?

Soon, workers will need to temporarily remove those man-hole covers, and one thing's for sure: They won't make any attempt to replace them so that they line up. Will tens of thousands of dollars be spent to re-align them?  I found what you said riveting. | |||

How about when they slurry the road or repave it?

Seattle did 11 of them for $66,000: http://www.seattletimes.com/se...ay-pride-in-seattle/ Vancouver did a square like that shown in the photo for $25,000: https://604now.com/photos-davi...t-rainbow-crosswalk/ | |||

I used to do line striping. Colored paint costs a bit more but I would figure at non-union rates that job should have cost maybe 3k simply for the multiple colors. We used to charge $3 a parking line, $20 per crosswalk with a mobilization charge of $500. No reason for this to cost )200k | |||

I'd could have driven from NC and stopped by Sherwin Williams OTW and still gotten it done for about $500.00 "Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor.” Robert A.

They had to find a minority owned business that employed transgendered, handicapped workers to do the job. They also had to use gender fluid paint...We all know how expensive that is! “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||
