Pedestrians are not robots programmed to travel certain distances. There are accessibility, weather issues, and pure convenience pedestrians love to use that is missing from your analysis. Having to walk an extra 200 or metres just to cross a street is not convenient in the slightest.

Oh, yeah. We look like a proper city when you have folks from Hollywood come up here for a shoot and then later go on talk shows relaying anecdotes about the time they tried to get from the Fairmont to some nearby restaurant or store only to crawl over those fkn concrete bunkers and play Frogger against the traffic! Hell, a former CEO at my previous employer did that mid-day coming to our offices at 201 Portage because why the hell would you expect them to walk all over the place like some IRL version of one of the Family Circus cartoons where the kid walks all over the place?
Made in Manitoba Solution (tm) indeed!
