comparisons- The businesses in central Lyriana

The businesses in central Lyriana are less accessible to pedestrian traffic, on average, than are businesses in neighboring business districts.

Is this wrong because of ambiguity

or
The businesses in central Lyriana are less accessible to pedestrian traffic than are businesses in neighboring business districts accessible to pedestrian traffic .

Bad way of presenting a query.
I dont have the patience to check the question.

No underline, no options! :( I am afraid if experts would like a query this way!
Please check other posts in the forum, and make your post easily readable!

I got this sentence from below forum, which gives incorrect sentences.
I posted this question to know why the comparisons are wrong. Hence
The sentences are neither underlined nor have 5 options

I believe this would be helpful in understanding the wrong comparisons
which we are not able to identify easily
