Love that sidewalk. Hopefully this stops those goofs saying crap like “why do they get a sidewalk for Pride and we don’t do anything for our veterans?”

It definitely won't, and it's weird to put those two things in opposition to one another. At least no one's likely to do burnouts on the veteran's crosswalk intentionally.
