I hopped on Google maps to see what part would be the closest to walk to from DTK, and then set off for the area behind Riverbend drive. And I have to say, most of the walk north of Victoria/Lancaster is thoroughly unpleasant. The sidewalks on Lancaster were haphazardly repaired, or blocked off with tape periodically. I decided to pass through Woodside, which has no sidewalks on either entrance despite one of them being a pedestrian pathway...
I complain about the pedestrian infrastructure in Wellington (NZ) a lot. It's hostile. But usually one is walking by interesting things at least. (It's just impossible to cross the street where you want to at certain key times). This is sadly not the case in much of KW. Sometimes there are interesting things, but too often there aren't. Also Wellington seems to have a lot more greenery (yes, Laurel Trail / Iron Horse / Spur Line...)
