Rainbow Crosswalks in Downtown Santa Ana <br />July 20, 2021 <br />Page 5 <br />;Am <br />40 Qft 9 <br />\ <br />Figure 4: Rainbow Crosswalks in West Hollywood, CA <br />In 2012, the City of West Hollywood painted two rainbow crosswalks on San Vicente <br />Boulevard, at the intersection with Santa Monica Boulevard. The total cost of the project <br />was $70,000, with the city opting to use thermos -plastic technology that would allow for <br />a more durable fixture. The cost covered the industrial water -based paint, labor, lane <br />closures, touch-ups as needed for the first year, paint removal, and clean-up. The city <br />engineer and Caltrans approved the treatment and use of State funds with no exception <br />to MUTCD requirements needed because of the inclusion of the white limit lines on the <br />crosswalks. West Hollywood's interpretation of the MUTCD regulations is that they do not <br />expressly exhibit roadway treatments with varying colors and patterns as long as the limit <br />line is included in the treatment for safety. <br />Request for Rainbow Crosswalks in Downtown Santa Ana <br />The Public Works Agency provided an estimate on the cost of installing rainbow <br />crosswalks: <br />• It will cost approximately $8,000 to install one rainbow crosswalk leg. If there are <br />four crosswalks at an intersection and all four crosswalks are to be painted with <br />rainbow crosswalks, it will cost approximately $32,000 to paint all four crosswalks. <br />• If there is more than one crosswalk at a particular intersection, staff recommends <br />that all the marked crosswalks at the intersection be painted rainbow colors to <br />match. <br />City Council 28 — 5 7/20/2021 <br />
