For two reasons.
The first reason is that it's a busy enough corner for an automatic "Walk" signal, so the button is an unnecessary annoyance.
Second reason, the beg button is hidden out of sight, so a person waiting for the light to change would miss even the presence of the button.
I guess it bothered someone else. This sign was stuck on the lightpole where the beg button should have been placed. The sign was removed after two days.
The possible good news is that this is a temporary setup because of some heavy construction on one of the corners. A tall apartment building is being built. Perhaps after the building is done, the signal lights will be reconfigured.
Note: Here's what the sign says.
"This walk light button is on the other side of the post behind you next to the bike path!
"(It needs to be pushed to activate the walk light.)
"If you think it should be moved closer to the actual cross walk, you should contact the City of Edmonton.
"The more people who call them the better chance of having something done."
