Except for right beside the tracks, the shoulder is near THREE feet, and there's a sidewalk soon after.
NOT a PROBLEM of ANY sort.
I don't mind occasionally using a sidewalk to let traffic vent. I do so with a keen eye toward the unique safety hazards that sidewalks present. In this particular location, the side streets make a lot of sense.
The only downside to the side streets is that they do not afford a protected crossing of Jefferson highway. The rhythm of the traffic on Jefferson does allow easy and safe crossing though.
