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.
1) Paulander has extremely poor visibility in addition to the high roadway speed, distance to crosswalks, bus stop location, and adjacent dense lower-income housing.
2) There is no requirement in Ontario for motorists to yield to pedestrians mid-block.
