I don't mean driving or even necessarily the most direct but in terms of pedestrian activity. If you are done walking downtown and want to enjoy the urban experience on your way to 17th, which street would you take? Is it 4th?
Also is the street that you would take very pedestrian friendly with cafes and nice streetscape or is it really just the better choice of a bunch of lousy ones?

There really isn't a single answer, or I'd hazzard in some peoples view (including mine) any answer to that. Most of the activity on Stephen Ave is between 1st SE and about 4th SW IMO, and most of the activity on 17th Ave is between 2nd SW and 14th SW. Neither 1st Street or 4th Street is really continuously active the entire way, 1st kind of dies around 13th ave and 4th is pretty boring especially if we are talking Friday night wanting to experience the nightlife. Most people do use 4th though in my experience, or cut across 12th avenue from 1st through/along Central Memorial Park.
