It's not a highway, but pedestrians have no place on it. You can't just walk out and have traffic yield to you. If you wan to cross, you have to press the beg button, wait, make sure everyone actually stops, then go. A bridge is more convenient and safe for all users. Sometimes separating users just makes more sense. I'm fine with keeping a low speed limit on Memorial, I'm not arguing that it should be made free flow for the sake of traffic.
