I've been noticing a lot more pedestrians crossing under the Memorial Parkway/Logan-Lily Flagg overpass lately and there are no crosswalks or sidewalks or anything at this location.
I think this might be related to the bus stop in front of Kroger and/or the new gas station construction going on there, although I'm not sure why that would have changed the number of pedestrians recently.
