Several people in my neighourhood (I live on Kent south of Aberdeen) have asked for some kind of pedestrian crosswalk at Kent and Aberdeen.

This intersection gets a lot of foot traffic, particularly students on their way to Ryerson/HAAA, and it's over 100m to either of the nearest intersections (Locke/Aberdeen or Queen/Aberdeen). It also has bus stops right here for both eastbound and westbound HSR buses.

The city responded by putting up a big sign ordering pedestrians to cross at Locke or Queen - a 200m round trip.

This is how the city promotes walkability? And after the EH Kirkendall Walkability Study too, no less.
