Walking in Waterloo Region

[MidTowner]

There isn't a crosswalk there.  Street View.
Likely, she was coming from Weichel St, and her destination is to the east ("north"), on the south ("east") side of Victoria.  The next crosswalk to the east is 480m to the east at Lawrence, a distance of 600m between official crossings.  

At the very least, a crosswalk should be installed at Paulander Dr if they don't want people crossing the road elsewhere.  There is also a bus stop at Paulander.

Maybe when they say "not crossing at the crosswalk," they're referring to Westmount. How far must you be from a crosswalk in order for it to be jaywalking? Less than ~100 meters as she was, I would guess. I also assumed she was intending to travel east, or otherwise she would have proceeded to Westmount (though I do see a lot of people crossing very near to Westmount outside of the crosswalk).

Good point about Paulander. It's equidistant (more or less) from both Westmount and Lawrence. If there's a bus stop there, it's important that it be safe to cross- for people to use transit, they have to be able to use it for a round trip. Though, the cost of actual infrastructure isn't warranted anywhere. Unfortunately, there's generally poor education about the requirement for motorists to yield to people on foot mid-block, so it really is needed.
