If a daycare near a busy intersection is unsafe for children then the argument should be 1. against the daycare being built at that intersection, or 2. that the intersections need to be better designed to encourage the safety of the children. Arguing against an urban design in the urban core or that sidewalks are more dangerous than parking lots is circular at best. The perceived lack of safety is magnified from urban design and walkability/sidewalks being an afterthought; you don’t ease that by forcing a development into a spot where safety is of genuine concern and design it in a way that shelters it largely from the surrounding area, at least if you want a connected core that actually is safe for those that live in it. Of course, this is a needed development coming from a sought after provider, so it’ll likely thrive no matter how it’s designed or what unsafe intersection it’s near. Focusing on how disconnected it should be for safety reasons misses the much more important discussion of why an area is unsafe to begin with as well as if a development is functionally appropriate for that particular location, though.
