If one happens to live in a the city and needs to get to the other side, that could be fairly dangerous.

And yes, I live 35 miles away from school. It takes me about 30 minutes to get there taking the toll road (min speed 50 mph, max 75 mph), and I'm getting ready to leave for class now. Going to be driving home in winter storm Rocky. Woo.
So then what about conditioned public walkways? Underground tunnels? Above ground tunnels? There are still ways to make pedestrian transport safe in any climate. You can't just say "oh its hot, everyone needs a car". There needs to be other options.
