Montana town city council approves motion to prohibit painting on pavement

HAMILTON, Mont. — On Tuesday night, the Hamilton City Council approved a motion that carried 4-2 prohibiting painting on pavement and ordering existing paint to be removed.

Mayor Dominic Farrenkopf says the council last week considered a request for a pride flag colored crosswalk to celebrate diversity.

The request came after council members approved a different painted crosswalk project by Bike Walk Bitterroot in May.

Farrenkopf says once the city received a second request for a painted crosswalk, they decided they should make a policy.


City staff put together an application so people could apply to paint on pavement.

Before that item was brought up on Tuesday evening, a counselor made a motion to not allow any painting on pavement in the city of Hamilton and remove all current painting that exists.

back and forth on those crosswalks until they decide to forgo being Puritan assholes and pledge to develop a sense of fun.

*I suggest Timberlines, they're nice and heavy

So, the only rainbow colors allowed are yellow & white?

Stunningly beautiful landscape marred only by the overwhelming numbers of white wing nut jobs. I don't even visit and it's 45 miles down the road.
