Why is the walk longer than the straight line?
The straight line ignores the highway. The walking route follows sidewalks and crossings around the I-35 frontage road, which adds distance. That is why 0.6 miles in a straight line becomes 1.2 miles on foot.
Plan the walk once before a first day or a first class. Check the crossings and the light. You can also ask the leasing office about the route during a tour.
