Pedestrian walkway on Harbour to parks?

[LUVCINDERELLY]

Is there a pedestrian walkway on Harbour to the parks or do you have to go to the corner of the Harbour/Katella intersection?

If there is one, what hotel is it across from?

Just a hair North of the Park Vue Inn there is a crosswalk / traffic signal as seen in the picture on this page:

The light is where the bus stops/dropoffs are. This leads directly to the main gates.

The Pedestrian Walkway is right where IHOP is in this pic

Dead link...what happened?

I think Ralph may have been trying to link to a story about an accident that happened a couple of nights ago. A family was crossing the street @ Katella (on the corner), and a 17 year old plowed into them. The 7-yr old was killed & the 9-yr old was reported in critical condition yesterday. I was driving in that area about that time, and the setting sun was blinding. When I heard about the accident yesterday morning, they said that the sun may have affected the driver. Very tragic.

The crosswalk in front of IHOP is a much safer intersection than Harbor/Katella. The only traffic that turns on Harbor are the Shuttle Buses who always give pedestrians the right of way.

Ventura County Star Just read about this, I went to high school with the father of the boy who was killed. Very, very sad.

How tragic for that poor family!
I do appreciate the map Mary Jo, that puts everything into perspective!

I was also trying to figure out the exact location of the walkway. Thanks!
Off the topic slightly, but another question I need to know: We're staying at the Ramada Maingate which is just north of Disney Way. I'm not familiar with this street. Is it fairly new and what's on it? Is there another parking structure?

Disney Way is a street that takes you from Harbor Blvd to Katella. There are some hotels on it.

When I am driving from the Anaheim Amtrak Station to Harbor Blvd, I take Disney Way. If I want to go from the Amtrak Station to Downtown Disney or the parking structure, I would go down Katella to Disneyland Drive, which is the street that takes you to the three DLR hotels and Downtown Disney/themepark parking.
