The intersections of those streets at Bronson are signficantly improved, and that will be extended west to Booth as soon as the new Library, which has solid streetfront presence incidentally, is open. Lebreton has a new MUP that opened last year.
Albert/Scott from Booth to Bayview has a ways to go as Lebreton gets built out, but the doom and gloom isn't really warranted.

Pedestrian friendly isn’t just about sidewalks (although that is part of it). There is a dead zone, hardly any pedestrians, hardly any eyes on the street, hardly any businesses. Maybe the library will change that a little.
