Newcastle plans its first rainbow crosswalk on Beaumont Street to promote LGBTQIA+ inclusivity, following community and official support.
Newcastle is advancing plans for its first rainbow pedestrian crossing on Beaumont Street in Hamilton, proposed by councillor Paige Johnson and backed by community groups, businesses, and local officials.
The initiative, unveiled at Newcastle Pride Fair Day, aims to celebrate LGBTQIA+ inclusivity and build on existing efforts like the Rainbow Walk and Newcastle Pride.
The crossing would be included in the council’s next operational plan, with a working party to ensure safety and compliance, particularly in a low-speed area.
While past attempts in 2015 and 2022 faced technical challenges, Johnson, a civil engineer, is collaborating with council staff to address concerns.
The motion also calls for exploring additional pride-themed public art.
