Awesome Sid... 40 minutes roughly, not to bad, especially if you had the young ones in tow...

And as for distances people will walk, i agree with the posters just above... i averaged 7 miles a day walking when i was in San Fran for a few weeks, and there was public transportation to take, but it didn't always go where i wanted it to. If people are willing to walk a 1/2 mile for anything, then if you build something that they really want to go to, what is another 1/2 mile? now add to that the future streetcar system and where it can run, and we might decrease that distance even more.

It's only 1.1 miles from the skydance bridge if we use the current trails and put something on the furthest point of Wheeler park
