The Editor,

Re. “Lots of problems to solve before we paint crosswalks” (Letters, The Tri-City News, Sept. 15).

In regards to our Coquitlam city council members’ consideration of a proposal to paint a few select intersections rainbow colours: how ludicrous.

When I visited Philadelphia recently, there was a gay community we walked through and they were displaying a lot of rainbow flags and murals, which was great. The gay community is well established in Coquitlam and doesn’t need this appeasement by a small group of misguided politicians.

There is a multitude of places the money could be better utilized — pick one.
