Walkability is a huge issue everywhere. It’s hard to get people out of their cars so thinking outside of the box is extremely important!

I also really like walkscore.com. I think it’s an excellent tool for everyone to use to learn more about walkable (and not-so-walkable) places.

Unfortunately, Michigan weather and Detroit’s reliance on the automobile presents many obstacles to establishing walkability… It’s good to think outside the box!

I encourage readers to visit WalkScore to find out how they rate on walkability http://www.walkscore.com/
