facilitation of cars flying through there are what makes it less walkable, not the fact that x amount of roads meet. the river has been improved for walking, especially with rockwell on the river (rip, metropolitan, but read your paperwork better.) with hamlin park also nearby, decent restaurant density, and the buses, it certainly can be improved for pedestrians. Previous Message Two, four lane roads meeting at a diagonal road is never going to be friendly to pedestrians. Pedestrians are already not there because it's essentially a mile and a half to the nearest train lines. Oh and there is a river and highway to the west of it.
