The 6th cohort of the Pacific Century Fellows seeks to resurrect the Pride Crosswalk in Garapan as its service project this year.<\/p>\n
The Pride Crosswalk was started in 2016 by the nonprofit group Pride Marianas, led by advocate Frankie Eliptico.\u00a0It was the first year that the CNMI government officially recognized Pride through a proclamation signing dedicating the week of June 24-30 as CNMI Pride Week.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
The original locations proposed for this project were at crosswalks located either by the Bank of Guam and the Garapan basketball court or between the T Galleria and Joeten Garapan.\u00a0 However, because of the rules guiding federal highways, the project was moved into the inner streets of Garapan.<\/p>\n
The final locations have been chosen on Coral Tree Ave intersecting between Fiesta Resort & Spa Saipan and the Paseo, crossing again at Coffee Tree Mall, connecting the Paseo in the heart of Garapan.<\/p>\n
The Pride Crosswalk ribbon cutting and proclamation signing will take place on Friday, June 21, 2019, at the intersection of Fiesta Resort & Spa Saipan and the Paseo on Coral Tree Avenue at 4pm. (PR)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
