WESTPORT — A rainbow crosswalk at the Jesup Road/Taylor Place intersection will become a permanent feature this summer, a physical sign of support for the LGBTQ community.

The downtown crosswalk — a temporary version was installed at the beginning of June to mark the start of Pride month — will be financed by private donations and maintained by the town, according to Public Works Director Peter Ratkiewich.
