The new ugliest thing in Calgary?

[killramos]

http://www.660news.com/2015/08/25/rainbow-crosswalk-emerges-downtown/

Wow so the whole homophobic argument aside is this not the ugliest thing you guys have ever seen?

http://www.660news.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/sites/8/2015/08/25/Capture1.jpg

I thought they were putting this off 17th somewhere where I wouldn't have to look at it.

They put this outside of city hall?

:barf:

How long until it snows :nut:

[EK 2.0]

Meh, I'm indifferent.

It is what it is, and with Nenshi as our mayor things like this will get the green light especially when privately funded.

Just get someone to do a huge burnout on it, and see if the smoke will change colour as you move across it...haha...

[killramos]

They had to choose somewhere where it was 30 feet wide :rofl:

its not even tastefully done, with like colored cobblestones or something.

At least with calgarys abysmal road maintenance and snow removal this should be very temporary.

8 grand for that. I have seen better chalk drawings.

[Mitsu3000gt]

No worse than the Peace Bridge, light-up statue thing/homeless hangout on 12th ave, or the circle on 96th ave that nobody knows isn't just a lamp post. At least this one was cheap :rofl:

That would be funny, but I'm sure it would only take a few seconds for someone to cry "hate crime".

[firebane]

So first... that is one shitty paint job. Also the colors aren't even spaced correctly giving my OCD a panic attack.

And in the end it looks like a bunch of grade school kids painted it.

Although lol at only 9 posts before someone called criticizing something super ugly as "Hate"

:facepalm:

Why didn't they do something great, like hang a giant prism that would cast a rainbow over the whole city as the sun moves.

[88CRX]

Wait, so its permanent? Saw it this morning and it looks like it will wash away after a couple rain storms.

edit: and if its privately funded you can paint whatever you want across a sidewalk? Beyond crowd funding to paint the cross walk at Stephen Ave/McLeod south?

So 8 grand eh? Love to see the financial break down on how it costs 8 grand for $200 in paint with 0$ for labor.

5 grand for the artist who designed the installation, 2 grand management fee for the director, 400 for materials, 600 for margaritas.

Careful, someone on here is gonna call you an "ignorant homophobe" because you don't 100% back the gay agenda. Although I am kinda confused as to what that agenda is now. It seems to have become less about equality and more about taking their message and... blasting it in everyone's face.

Why a flag of China?

On another note, I am quite amused at how stirred up people are in this thread over this. Really, who cares? Is it going to affect you in some negative way? Shit, if you're all getting this stirred up about this little bit of paint then I shudder to think how crazy you'd be if you were living in Montreal and had to experience what's done there.

[JRSC00LUDE]

On a positive note, with a new winner crowned, is it safe to say Beyond has moved on from that chick in the Stampede threesome?

Actually, it's not.

Christ, I know so many gay people who never bother with this stuff - they continue on living their normal lives just like you and me and maybe catch a bit about this painted pavement on the news. What this is is the more extremist end of things - no different than the guy that preaches in front of city hall or the pan handlers one sees working 14th Street and elsewhere, they're the fringe.

Of course, maybe some of you are like a good friend of ours who was just besides themselves over what gay people did in their bedrooms and my wife said to them "what does it matter to you what two consenting adults do in the privacy of their bedroom?"

The only thing that is absurd is the price tag to paint a very uneven few splotches of paint. I think that is what most people don't agree with.

It might be purposefully spaced that way. Starting with skinny purple, and getting incrementally bigger until red. I haven't seen it in person, just judging by the photo.

I stand corrected, jumped to conclusions without reading the article.

However, one quote stood out to me.

“We all agreed it should be in the most public place possible, which is right in front of City Hall.”

Why should it be in the most public place possible? This is taking pride to the extreme and throwing it in everyone's face.

Why does it matter to you so much? Like I said before, is it going to affect you in some negative way? Now I suppose if you had a car accident down there, you could claim you were distracted by the paint but aside from that, I just don't see what the big deal is.

I care because it is yet another instance of catering to a special interest group. Pretty arrogant to say "our message is better than anyone else's! So instead of being grateful for the city giving us a crosswalk in general, let's push to have it right in front of city hall!! Otherwise they are all homophobic pigs!!"
Sure that may be exaggerated, but the point still stands.

It's more a question of where do you draw the line.

[rx7_turbo2]

For me it has nothing to do with the colours or what they represent. It's just been executed very poorly.

I have an Aunt that organized with her community to paint a crosswalk near the local school. It was kind of a sports montage and paid for privately, so this rainbow isn't unprecedented.

Shit, the CoC caters to special interest groups all the time and many times just as visibly as this if not more. How many ethnic events are there that take over a park here or there including high profile parks like Prince's Island? So why is it that a few hundred square feet of pavement being painted up for a while is just so bad?

Ninja edit...

A couple of examples - the CDLC will be using Olympic Plaza for their 7th annual CDLC Labour Day BBQ. Why should this special interest group be able to take over a whole park?

The Calgary Highland Games take over Springbank Park for a weekend. Why is it so important that a bunch of Scottish people be able to get together to toss around wood and stuff?

People into auto racing screaming that the CoC took away Race City - certainly this is just another special interest group that did a bunch of pissing and moaning and if my memory serves me correctly, they had some sort of loosely organized rally downtown as well.

I am honestly surprised there is not a clause in the TSA about how crosswalks need to be painted...

You would think so but crosswalks and how they're painted change from one municipality to the next. Hell, there' snot even consistency in Calgary but that probably be those damn special-interest group union guys and gals messing up.

Those are short term events, and by no means compare to a permanent fixture.

Hah, that's totally it, isn't it? CoC council sees other cities with interesting or provocative things, and they go OMG WE WANT TO BE CULTURED TOO! So they throw some money at it (or approve of other people throwing money at it) but instead of interesting items of culture that the other cities have, we wind up with expensive yet crazy half-assed projects like the Blue Ring and this terribad crosswalk. It's a neat idea in theory but the execution is horrible and it's hideous.

Holy crap, where did you read that it is a permanent fixture?

Can't be the linked Metro news article because it said nothing of the sort in there. Please provide a link to where you read this.

[ee2k]

However tacky, it's a big step for anything like this to happen in a city like Calgary.

Location wise, it is well suited with the City being fully supportive of the cause. It's also close to the pride parade start point. There is no gay neighborhood in Calgary (in Vancouver the crosswalk is on Davie St.)

I can think of many other ugly things in Calgary that are more permanent in nature. Work quality wise, I'm sure there are many gays that are already judging it, but all's good.

As far as the whole "special interest groups" rhetoric, this is more about human rights as opposed to an individual group being raised higher than others. Let's be proud that we live in a City that is inclusive of all.

The pacing over it thing is a recent development. It was always intended to be permanent. This isn't a new story. The news is that it was done and where they did it (not on 17th like they said) and that it was horribly done.

You're writing as though if you're gay and move to Vancouver they force you to live in Davie, from where you can't leave. I can't see how a predominantly LGBT neighbourhood can be construed as a bad or discriminatory thing. I see it much the same way as Chinatown or something, where you can go live in an area with people from the background but in this case it's just sexuality.

In fact if you go to Davie, it's similar to many other neighbourhoods in Vancouver. I was staying at a nearby hostel and would alk through it on my way to Robson St and I felt it looks a lot like 17th Ave here in Calgary except with rainbow flag crosswalks (done in a much more aesthetically pleasing way than the one in this thread) and flags on the light posts. That neighbourhood is all pride and happiness, no discrimination.

[killramos]

I think we should have a blowjobs pride crosswalk.

Now that is something I would be into celebrating.

Since we have one kind of sexual preference crosswalk I don't see the problem.

We could put it across from the strippers :rofl:

[vengie]

I think we should come together and propose a "because we can" crosswalk. Literally have the words painted across the crosswalk.

My statement about gay neighborhood was not to be marked as a negative trait of the city, only that there is no de facto neighborhood to suggesting painting it in.

In Vancouver, you'll notice that many within the LGBT community are moving away from the Davie Village for there is no need for life in such concentrated neighborhood (given the societal acceptance and sense of security etc that has come and grown over the decades.) There is no need for such neighborhood in Calgary either.

Boring white guy? Far far from it. The city may be a long way from being all inclusive (I don't know what areas are bothersome to you,) but it takes time and many small steps for it to get to where you want it to be.

Comparing bitching about bike lanes to Ireland's gay marriage policy, which was honestly social media'd out of proportion. So it's basically our bike lane's fault that we ended up with a rainbow crosswalk.
