While I wouldn't personally mind pride colors on crosswalks, having them be forced to answer "anything" is better than being allowed to ignore it.

Example:

"Painting them pride color will increase the cost of painting them, as it requires new tools and extra colors adding complexity to an otherwise quick paint job with tools used also on other similar road work .

While we agree in the spirit, the cost of doing this outweighs the increased visibility of a minority group, and will therefore not be considered further. "
