How direct? I live in a building, the paramedics and police physically cannot park closer than 80 meters from my front door. Other people have giant homes and they might be 80 meters away from their front door. For that matter, I also have a cottage and that cottage is over a KM of water away from the nearest road. Why is it less reasonable if those 80 meters are up a sidewalk instead of a hallway or lake?

If you are living in a cottage or rural area, there is an expectation of slower emergency responses.... this is in the middle of a major city.  Yes, an apartment and/or mansion may have additional challenges, but judging from the overview of the proposal, these residences will be far from 80M from an access point, no?
