Just a single sidewalk traversing the entire lot would be really helpful. With my kids I am actually tempted to DRIVE from 1 store to the other in Frandor to avoid crossing all the parking traffic.
I picture an elevated sidewalk that has 45degree edge rather than squared edge so cars can still drive over it at opposite ends.

Thanks John & Josh for pulling together this nice video on walkability in Frandor. For those interested in following this issue at the statewide level, there is a big push to mandate Complete Streets in all future road projects so things like sidewalks and bikelanes become a matter of routine. You can learn more and plug into the movement at the Michigan Complete Streets Coalition website at http://www.MichiganCompleteStreets.org
