Springdale's town council is standing by its decision not to paint a rainbow crosswalk. "The Town of Springdale supports its residents no matter their age, gender, ethnicity, religious beliefs or sexual orientation," he said. Earlier this month, Edison said town council did not want to use public money to promote particular causes. These students in Springdale were hoping council would approve their request for a crosswalk. He said he believes his town council was surprised at reaction it received when it first denied a rainbow-coloured pride crosswalk.
