To me the bigger issue is you have a city government using their funds to paint a city maintained road being told they can't do what they want with their money because the governor will withhold state funds unless they follow HIS wishes. So much for the party of small government.
2nd, from the roadway standpoint, there is a set of standards and guidelines that apply across the entire state as well as the country. It's why you can go drive in a new state for the first time and still know that a stop sign will be a red octagon with white lettering. But you know that I'm sure. There is nothing in those manuals that allows for entities to just do whatever they want, whether it's a rainbow, MAGA, or something else. Guidelines exist for a reason, and ignoring them because it's inconvenient or you want to make a political statement is wrong, regardless of who's doing it. And just because it was wrong for 8 years doesn't somehow exempt it from being called wrong eventually.
Well. Go on then. Post the standard and explain the violation from a roadway standpoint for crosswalks.
If you can point to what exact State or Federal standard the crosswalk ran afoul of… I'll eat my crow. I think you'll have trouble doing that though because when I Google creative city crosswalks in America… it seems like a lot fall out of 'standard'.
I don't have a dog in this fight and generally DGAS, but it seems as though these crosswalks could qualify as "distracting"

"...and expected so as not to be a source of distraction." (pg23)
Nice try but you omitted some important clarification in that … on page 23
