So, I'm being driven through the intersection of Main and University and what do I see? Some young-looking dudes dancing in and out of traffic, holding donation cans up to drivers stopped at the signals.
No, imagine some homeless guy was doing the exact same thing. How long do you think it would be before the cops came along and put a stop to it? Minutes, probably.
This is unsafe behavior, whether or not it's Bradley University kids raising money or Peoria Firefighters trying to get people to put money in their "boots" for charity. Someone is going to get injured or seriously dead.
And the city is audaciously asking taxpayers to pay for "improvements" to make the intersection safer. Please. Post a few signs promising huge fines for jaywalking, or for trying to cross the street with a cell phone plastered to your ear. Then enforce it.
