San Francisco, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – Earlier this month, the City of San Francisco unveiled the rainbow crosswalk in the Castro District. The crosswalk at the intersection of Castro and 18th Streets — painted in the colors of  the gay rainbow flag — is part of the Castro redevelopment project designed to revitalize the center of gay-ness in the city.

Today, Scott Wiener, who represents the Castro district on the county board of supervisors, announced the next phase of the redevelopment project. It involves the setting up of additional crosswalks on either side of 18th Street where most of the gay bars are located.

Wiener said that the new zig-zaggy crosswalks will be for the benefit of gay drunks who crisscross 18th Street to hop from one bar to another. “Let’s face it, gay drunks can’t walk in a straight line so setting up crooked pedestrian lanes will help them cross the street without being embarrassed,” the supe said.

One crosswalk will be set up between the Toad Hall and The Edge bars and another between the Midnight Sun and SF Mix.

The new crosswalks will be ready in time for Halloween.
