WASHINGTON (DC News Now) — There's a new LGBTQ mural in the District just in time for the start of WorldPride.

It's a colorful display on 15th Street NW, but it also adds a safety component for families.

Steady brush strokes are slowly turning regular pavement into a rainbow road.

"Everything's coming together," said Lisa Marie Thalhammer.

Thalhammer is the lead artist with a mission to "just bring joy and color and creativity into the community."
