Walking in Waterloo Region

[tomh009]

For accessibility those would be HUGE as to have ramps long enough to get to the height where it could be over or under traffic. But the extra distance for pedestrians to travel will pretty much make it so no one uses them.

How many people have you seen in the overpass at university by UW Engineering, compare that to the number of people crossing at the pedestrian crosswalk.

You wouldn't do ramps for an overpass; need to have an elevator on either side to make it accessible.

University Ave traffic at UW is still relatively light so people do the Frogger thing and dodge traffic. In Tokyo overpasses are everywhere for the major roads, and they do get used. But it really depends on the amount of traffic.
