As the city filed it

The Church Wellesley Village Business Improvement Area does not require these funds anymore as Transportation Services has taken care of touching up the paint for the Trans Flag and Rainbow Coloured Crosswalks before the Pride Festival weekend this year. 2024 marks the 25th anniversary of the blue, pink and white striped transgender flag and the deterioration of the painted crosswalks because of utility cuts and construction in the area warranted this touchup, which means a lot to the community.
