I might suggest trying larger housing areas. I tend to make long stretches for housing blocks, this by itself will force walkers along the housing areas. You can also "feed" some of your industry off a road on the other side of the housing (i.e. you have roads on both sides of a row of housing). You can also have main housing centers and then housing to provide labor access to an industry area. There are a good variety of different housing layouts in the downloads section of thi site. Keeping you labor and industry balanced can be a real feat. Good luck with it.
InkblotOoops! This was supposed to go under "Help on Medium". I will duplicate the post over there. Hey, it's the weekend! Maybe I need a beer to clear my head.
