Controversy continues over the pride intersection in Delray Beach that the city refuses to move.
August 15th, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) sent a letter to the city setting a deadline for the removal of its pride mural at the intersection of NE 1st St. and NE 2nd Ave. or face losing state funding.
In that letter, FDOT says the city has until September 3rd to remove the rainbow colors from the intersection. While the pride mural remains now, that might not be the case in a little over two weeks.
The city wasn't planning on removing it until it received a formal request. Now, the request is here.
The Florida Department of Transportation said it doesn’t meet safety rules. According to FDOT, unapproved street art like this can distract drivers and interfere with traffic flow, which is why it doesn’t comply with official traffic control standards. The department says if the markings aren't removed by September 3rd, the department itself will remove them by any appropriate method necessary. Any removal costs will be billed to the city.
In a city commission meeting last week, Delray Beach Mayor Rob Long called this move by the department "political."
