I work by here and I'm always shocked at the number of people who walk down that stretch. It's not like that's a long light to wait and cross to a real sidewalk.
I agree with people here that say the construction company shouldn't be allowed to close that sidewalk. It was always super busy when there was one. Worse, though, is the closure (and demolition) of the walkway behind the train station. You have to walk through crowds of people on the platform to get down the block. I've almost walked into people plenty of times, and I'm always worried someone will get bumped off the platform when it's crowded. Which is often.
