Happy Pride Month, City Island! We were pleased to sponsor this temporary crosswalk repainting on City Island Avenue and Centre Street. We are planning to paint a second crosswalk in the days ahead if folks are interested in volunteering.

Thank you to local artist wes.roundtree who helped gather supplies and direct volunteers. Also a big thank you to the NYPD 45 Precinct who helped keep the intersection clear and safe while we painted. 🌈
