Whatever bureaucrat made the decision for Access NS to move there truly needs to lose their job. You can't walk there, you can barely get a bus to take you there, and even then, I have seen people get off the bus and have to sprint across 4-lanes of traffic without any crosswalks or sidewalks to get into the place. There's nothing like having to jump across an open gravel ditch to get to or from a govt office.
Bayers Lake is a disaster any way you look at it. Some genius put a Rona at the far end up by Access NS and I dunno how it stays in business as it has zero customers. You have a long stretch between that area and the more dense retail that is nothing but industrial facilities or scrub forest. And as has been said, in the retail area the entire east (?) side is built up on a rise well way from the road. I often see pedestrians dodging vehicles as they walk up the narrow roadway between the SS/NSLC and the Walmart since there is no walkway there at all. But that is consistent with the lack of sidewalks at street level there. Ridiculous.
