"To pass the street"
Can I say it and, if I can, does it have the same meaning as "to walk down the street"?

I would think that "to pass the street" might more clearly indicate that one walked by a street on his or her way somewhere else. For example, I live in New York, on 70th Street. The entrance to the subway is on 72nd Street, so I "pass 71st Street" as I "walk down the street" on my way to the subway.

You can say that but it does not have the same meaning as "to walk down the street"
It means that you "passed by" the street, like you have to turn around and go back because you missed it.

To pass the street would mean to move past the street by walking or driving.

"To pass the street" is more for the transition, like you're justtry to get to the destination and don't care for what's on the street.
"To walk down the street" is more relax, and you do care about what's going on on that street.
