HOW CAN I HELP?
We have raised $25,000 to cover the cost of installing permanent thermoplastic pavement markers in a rainbow of colors
on two crosswalks along Broadway in Denver. Any donations above $25,000 will be put into a maintenance fund to keep our rainbow bright!

WHERE IS THE CROSSWALK INSTALLED?
The Broadway Rainbow Crosswalk is located at the intersection of Broadway and W Irvington Pl just
outside of the Buffalo Exchange. The rainbow crosswalk spans Broadway in two places just north and south of W Irvington Pl.

WHY THERMOPLASTIC VS PAINT?
The crosswalk is installed using thermoplastic materials to create a permanent installation. Thermoplastic is a
pavement marking material that is a 100% solid, environmentally and user safe compound. A mixture of glass beads,
pigments, binder, and filler materials, thermoplastic, as its name suggests, becomes liquid when heat is applied.
As opposed to paint, thermoplastic will be able to withstand the daily wear and tear of Broadway traffic.
