Yes, there are many pedestrians there, it is an area with many lower income individuals who cannot afford cars. It is a shame the region only catered to drivers driving through the area when they rebuilt the road, and it is a shame the plaza is not built to serve people on foot either.
Seeing people there means people walk there, it doesn't mean it is walkable. You are actually talking about some of the most dangerous places in the city, places that are unwalkable, but places where a large portion of people do walk for various reasons.
I would say that the Sobeys plaza is not very walkable, as you do have to go on the live traffic to get to many of the stores, but Evergreen Mall is totally pedestrian friendly.
