Rebecca,if you are walking into town along Barton Road, you have to cross to the south side, which is difficult enough when it's busy, and then you encounter a stretch with no pavement, just where the road is at it's narrowest, facing oncoming traffic (in the dark and wet in the winter). Then you can come to the dark and broken glass strewn subway, which often plays home to some local undesirable or other, and if it's rained for more than five minutes is under six inches of water, then push a buggy up about twenty big steps. Thanks, but I'll just cross the road"up top".
