Yes, to reiterate Bayer's Lake is a disaster for pedestrians. Since it is the main shopping area for the nearby residential areas (+ thousands more), everyone drives and the traffic is horrendous. It was designed as an industrial park and ended up becoming a commercial shopping area without proper pedestrian upgrades. You could walk, but sidewalks are patchy, you often have to walk across enormous parking lots and the whole area is alienating if you're not in a car. I've seen people on foot struggle over embankments, snow mounds, booting it when the green light doesn't allow enough time to cross. Worst irony - Access Nova Scotia moving out there.
The point is we can do a much better job of planning suburban communities. Panorama just continues with the status quo.
