Delray Beach leaders fight for rainbow street mural during Florida hearing in Orange County

City leaders from Delray Beach made the nearly 200-mile trip to Central Florida on Tuesday for a hearing with the Florida Department of Transportation over the agency’s request to remove a rainbow pride mural. The hearing comes just one day before the deadline the state gave the city to remove the mural at Northeast Second Avenue and First Street. Instead of any clear understanding on the fate of their colorful crosswalk, the city left with a new deadline — turn in any supporting documents or concluding comments by Sept. 5 while their case remains under review.
