varying widths, invisible curbs placed in path of travel, unmarked crosswalks, and a reluctance to follow a straight line makes for difficult travel.

The path of travel would not be so difficult if curbs were available allowing sidewalk to be adjacent to street in one straight 48 inch wide pathway.
