Mayor Ed Murray announced yesterday the action plan from his LGBTQ safety task force's action plan for the city. It prioritizes four categories: Public Safety, LGBTQ Youth, the Built Environment (infrastructure like gender neutral bathrooms), and Public Understanding. Part of the plan also includes adding in more rainbow crosswalks, painted around the new Capitol Hill light rail station. The mayor says that other neighborhoods may also get crosswalks in colors that represent their heritage.
