Does anyone know what the traffic volumes on Bridgeport and Erb are?
One-way streets are very unfriendly to people on foot or bike. Wide one-ways encourage speeding. The reason people aren't seen to be walking on these streets is because it's so unpleasant. To answer your question about where they might be walking to/from, in addition to Uptown, there is a lot of commercial on these streets around Weber; and several schools and churches on or near both Erb and Bridgeport. The neighbourhoods on either side also have parks and other residents whom people might want to visit: a big busy one-way street pairing can be like a moat separating two neighbourhoods.
