Planned Parenthood/ACLU solicitors

is there any sort of email or form to complain about these people? not sure it'll do much but the amount of times these individuals, mostly the men, have tried to form narrow walkways and corner people in on the sidewalk is actually ridiculous.

the other day i was having a terrible day and on the verge of crying walking back from running errands (had on my RBF WITH tears in my eyes) when this woman in ALCU vest got in my way and asked "Are you a nice person?" excuse me???? I said "no not in the mood today" and she still continued with her spiel trying to block me on the sidewalk. i understand these people have to do their jobs, but they need to learn how to read the people they approach.

also, is there a reason why 75% of the PP solicitors/canvassers on the streets of Logan Square are male...? in what world would I donate PP money to a random man who's blocking the sidewalk and not just go directly through the organization? they don't say anything informative, they just block the way and try to ask for money...

Rolling/no stop drivers on Wrightwood

Between Kedzie and Kimball I see multiple rolling stops a day and some cars don't even stop at all. They barely let pedestrians get halfway through the intersection then speed off while they're still in the crosswalk, these drivers can't even wait an extra 2-3 seconds to let pedestrians get fully past the car. Some will cut pedestrians off as they're actively walking into the crosswalk, not giving them the right of way. Yesterday I saw a car speed through two of the stop signs within 10 seconds despite there being pedestrians in the area, didn't even bother doing a little courtesy tap of the brakes.

Is there a way to have these stops enforced or a way to petition for a speeding camera in this area?

Seriously worried someone is going to get injured between Kedzie or Kimball because these asshole drivers can't take 5 seconds out of their day to STOP AT A STOP SIGN LIKE THEYRE SUPPOSED TO.

I understand the traffic in the circle and on Kimball gets backed up but that doesn't give drivers the right to drive like impatient, reckless clowns.
