Halifax is going to be repainting some of its rainbow crosswalks as well as painting more of the crosswalk adornments at four new locations throughout the downtown core.
The information comes via documents published on the Nova Scotia government’s tender website by the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) on Tuesday.
The HRM says they’re planning on painting new crosswalks at the intersections of Quinpool Road and Harvard Street and Quinpool Road and Vernon Street.

The documents say that work must be completed on the crosswalks before July 8 — or 11 days before the start of Halifax’s Pride Week.
The rainbow crosswalk initiative began two years ago as a way to move toward the HRM’s goal of creating a “diverse and inclusive community that supports everybody,” according to a report issued by Halifax municipal staff in 2017.
