Williams Lake City Council approves pride crosswalk
WILLIAMS LAKE — Pride supporters are rejoicing in Williams Lake after the city’s council unanimously threw its support behind the installation of a pride crosswalk.
Mayor Walt Cobb says council made the decision last night.
“I guess the major concern was what the cost was going to be and should the taxpayers be paying for it, but no, they’re (Williams Lake’s Pride Committee) prepared to raise all the money and do the work,” he says. “Logistics need to be developed on where it can go safely. They’ll work with our Public Works department on that.”
Ultimately, Cobb says council decided it was time to open its doors to everyone.
