Like many others, I have noticed the individual who regularly stands there holding signs expressing his views on immigration and other issues. He has every right to peacefully exercise his freedom of speech, and I fully respect that. The last thing they need is another distraction or an obstructed line of sight at one of the busiest decision points in the intersection. I sincerely hope someone who knows him will encourage him to choose a safer location before an accident occurs. We should not have to wait until someone is seriously injured before recognizing that freedom of expression and public safety are not competing values.
