ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Police are investigating damage to a rainbow-colored crosswalk created in honor of Albuquerque Pride after videos emerged of several motorcyclists trying to deface it.
One video posted online shows dozens of bikers riding along Route 66 before a couple of them take turns burning rubber over the crosswalk, the Albuquerque Journal report ed. Another biker appears to suffer a blowout from the effort and duckwalks his bike to the curb, its back tire flopping around on the rim.
"The facts will determine the appropriate charges, including whether damages amount to misdemeanor or felony charges," Albuquerque police spokesman Gilbert Gallegos said Thursday."City crews attempted to clean the crosswalks today. It is not yet clear whether some portions will need to be re-striped."A contractor installed the crosswalk last Friday in honor of Pride Week and the city's LGBT community.
The city considers the project more than a paint job, Chandler said. It was intended as a sign of inclusiveness, he said.
