Crosswalks in Dowtown Lexington painted in Rainbow Colors

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – The intersection of Limestone and Short Street crosswalks were painted on Tuesday morning.

The crosswalks are now painted in rainbow colors.

The city says it is a way to make the downtown more vibrant and draw attention to the city’s diversity and make this busy intersection more visible.

The makeover comes just before this weekend’s pride festival — where the rainbow symbol is often seen.
