ORLANDO, Fla. (CBS12) — Over 150 protesters transformed the empty gaps of the rainbow crosswalk outside the Pulse nightclub in Orlando into a colorful statement of unity, following its removal by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), CBS12 News partner the Orlando Sentinel reported.

The rainbow crosswalk outside the Pulse nightclub was removed overnight Wednesday by FDOT as part of their policy to eliminate what they term “political banners” from public roadways.

The Orlando Sentinel said that in response to the removal, community members quickly organized to fill in the empty gaps of the crosswalk with colorful chalk by Thursday afternoon.

Local resident Dallas Perdew was among those who took action, bringing chalk to restore some of the vibrant colors temporarily, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
