Walkable communities are an important aspect of a healthy and vibrant community!
To encourage citizens to rely on their cars less and choose walking more often, the environment in which they live, work, learn and play must support walking as a form of everyday transportation.
Well-connected, mixed-use communities where people can safely walk to school, work, stores, parks and restaurants significantly reduces the need to drive and gets people moving! There are many economic, health and environmental benefits of building and sustaining a community that supports walking as a primary mode of transportation.
