Digest more
The state’s new push led to the painting over of the rainbow crosswalk at the former Pulse nightclub in Orlando and has put about 400 more road art projects around Florida on a potential removal list. The Lake Nona kid-designed bike lanes are among 18 in the city of Orlando required to be removed by next week.
In an escalation of Gov. Ron DeSantis' war on pavement art, state officials quietly removed a rainbow crosswalk outside Pulse, the former LGBTQ+ nightclub in Orlando that's now a memorial to the 49 patrons shot and killed there in 2016.
