The problem is that City policy is never to install illuminated overhead crosswalk lights. The only crosswalk solution they will accept is an $80k pedestrian activated tri-colour traffic light.

Bump outs also help by shortening the distance pedestrians need to be on the non-sidewalk part of the road and by narrowing the turning radius to force turning drivers to slow down. Neither of these effects wears off, and Hamilton's traffic department has installed bump outs (e.g. on Aberdeen, Charlton and Herkimer) for these reasons.
