University of Waterloo Transit & Ring Road

I understand pedestrian-friendly, but what pedestrians are we talking about? Students are primarily pedestrians, staff/faculty also switch to pedestrian mode once they reach campus. But people not associated with the university are realistically not going to be making many trips to (or through) the campus. It's not in the downtown core, it's surrounded by a combination of student housing, low-density residential and now a technology park, none of which is going to generate much non-university-associated pedestrian traffic.
