BOOOOOO. Not only is that a very busy pedestrian crossing, it's almost one of the more dangerous in the city. Taking away that crosswalk is just going to result in people jaywalking instead and getting smoked by cars.
Waiting to cross Edmonton trail to cross N/S is not a reasonable option on a major pedestrian corridor. If you can't wait for a couple people to cross the street before driving through, try an alternative mode of transport to work.
