Council member Paul Ridley and state Rep. Venton Jones will makes remarks at a demonstration called One City Many Colors on Saturday, Oct. 18 at 5 p.m. at the Legacy of Love monument on the corner of Cedar Springs Road and Oak Lawn Avenue.

“Let’s stand up for our communities and freedom of expression,” organizers said.

Gov. Greg Abbott has ordered all rainbow crosswalks in the state be removed within 30 days. Dallas City Manager Kimberly Tolbert has asked the city attorney for a legal opinion.

The governor claims the crosswalks are dangerous. Although no official studies have been done, pedestrian-involved accidents have decreased on Cedar Springs since the new crosswalks were installed.
