, plans are in place to add a decorative rainbow crosswalk, in Doylestown, in a show of support and safety for the LGBTQ+ community. Some residents, however, are in strong opposition to the crosswalk.
The Doylestown Pride Festival committee brought the idea of the crosswalk to borough council earlier in March and Monday, council unanimously approved it. Jona Franklin owns Lilies of the Field up the street from the crosswalk. She’s not in favor of it. "There is an actual, visual thing that people who eye problems, black and white helps them differentiate and understand a crosswalk. A bunch of color does not. It could become confusing. It could become dangerous."
