"the pedestrian was at least partially at-fault for not crossing at a crosswalk"

That should be irrelevant. Even if the pedestrian is jay-walking, it's still not legal to hit them. Further, having solid evidence that the car detected the pedestrian and did nothing to avoid her mitigates the pedestrian's responsibility, no?

Also, the "center median containing trees, shrubs, and brick landscaping in the shape of an X" sure looks like it should have some crosswalks, from the aerial photograph. What's it look like from the ground?
