New Florida state‑mandated crosswalk changes in Oviedo are already showing signs of deterioration, just months after Seminole County reportedly spent more than $31,000 of taxpayer money painting bright green crossings black.
Oviedo Mayor Megan Sladek shared a photo Monday showing the original green paint, used for high-visibility crosswalks installed in 2024 along pedestrian and bike trails to improve safety, peeking through the black overlay.
“I’m looking forward to when the FDOT’s (Florida Department of Transportation) black paint fails at the Pulse crosswalk,” Sladek wrote. “In the meantime, I’ll settle for the black paint failing here and at lots of places in Oviedo. #LoveOviedo”…
