The issue is that among those commercial properties there is no 'official' pedestrian access point - lots of holes in fences or gaps in bushes but no actual, sanctioned entry point. There would have to be one for a crossing to be built (they'd want lights and a lift arm), so without one there is no getting there.
That's probably why they fixed the property fence at my apt after years of not caring. goodbye Food Basics shortcut
I wouldn't use the word possible, a crossing is obviously possible, but they're choosing not to build one.
This is quite frustrating, but no more so than the usual inaccessible nature of a city built for cars. That was a major comment in the region transportation survey I had. Blocking pedestrian access like this, or in a dozen other strip malls in the city just makes everyone drive.
