I'm attempting to design pedestrian access route -- that is both meaningful and experiential -- around and through a busy automobile corridor at Pearson International Airport. Why do I have the feeling that I am negotiating peace and understanding between two irreconcilable enemies?

Though I wouldn't recommend Piers Anthony books to anyone with brains, there was a interesting section in (IIRC) On a Pale Horse where a character has to visit a time god. At first, he has to drive, and he gets slowed down by a pedestrian and a cyclist. On another visit, he has to cycle, and nearly gets run down by a car and has to swerve for a pedestrian. On a third visit, he walks . . . get the idea?
On his third visit, Time tells him that he encountered himself each time, that the peculiarities of each mode of travel, combined with shared road, lead to the anger and conflict.
A pedestrian pathway will take up parking space. Access to that parking will reduce space for the walkway. Good luck.
