You're right, and that's why I'm so conflicted on this one.
Without the infrastructure, there won't be any pedestrians or cyclists (i.e. unless we make it easy to cycle and walk). While there are alternate ways to go north-south (the article mentions 106 St), I'm not a fan of always shunting cyclists off to side streets.
Burnaby, the Vancouver suburb, it a very car-centric place, despite having 2 Skytrain lines running through it. But in the past decade or so, any new development along designated paths (like the Lougheed highway) has to include cycle paths off the road. It does make for a patchwork where bike lanes appear and disappear at random points, but in the long run, the infrastructure will be there for 50-100 years.

Will there at least be standard sidewalks? IMO the greatest need for pedestrian access is to the west towards the residential and somewhat north and south towards the nearby hotels.

Crane now being put together and it looks like it will have at least one level of below ground parking based on the depth they've done

Likely traffic lights on the north or south side of the block. I would like to think the signals have a pedestrian walk signal ... to a sidewalk I should hope.
