And Google maps directions generally for a pretty fast walker. I don't really want to walk 30 minutes to the golf course, just to turn around and hoof it home...walking longer than an hour is probably not typical for most people. I suspect from DTK, most people would drive to rockway (or bus or bike) and not walk.
Google shows about 25 minutes to the (Kitchener) W edge on Sydney St. Admittedly I walk a bit faster. And longer.
And, yes, walks for families with little kids are more challenging.
I used to walk faster before I had a baby...I used to walk 5k to and from work most days. But, no longer. I think 10-15 minutes is typical distance for people to walk, although probably less when the destination is itself, a walk.
Still, in non-covid times, we would just take the LRT.
