What? Desiring walkability and desiring to walk an indirect and counter-intuitive route are two different things. The existing situation (up until this morning perhaps with talk of extra signage and enforcement) may not be as safe as if there were a crosswalk or no road at all, but the important part is that it is
safe enough that using it outweighs walking the extra block over, crossing, then doubling back the block.
Seems you associate "walkability" with "wanting to walk a lot - even unnecessarily," which is not quite the opposite of walkability, but close.
