Previously pedestrians would gather at the small intersections and people would literally be standing in the street and on the corners; similar to waiting for a train during rush hour on the platform. This not only caused a safety issue but also caused a block in foot traffic going each way. The new cross walk solves this if you look now there is never a large mass of pedestrians building up to cross on way then another. I think it makes moving through the area much easier as a pedestrian. I think the main factor is that of safety.
