ATLANTA — Channel 2 Action News has learned that a subcontractor for AT&T will repay the city after they ripped up part of the rainbow crosswalks at 10th Street and Piedmont Avenue in midtown.
The city installed the crosswalks last summer as a source of pride for Atlanta's gay community. The cost to paint the crosswalks was $196,000.
In March, subcontractor Ansco & Associates, LLC, tore up a part of the rainbow crosswalks for utility work they were doing for AT&T.
