Do you live in a walkable neighbourhood?

walkable neighbourhoods in Toronto, Walking 1comments

I came across this really interesting web link called "How walkable is your Neighbourhood?" http://www.walkscore.com/

I was disappointed in my score ( I live in Norseman/Sunnylea area of Etobicoke - near the Kingsway). It was only 45! Below average. I do find this a little funny because I can walk to:

  • shopping
  • movies
  • subway
  • parks
However, my neighbourhood could use some improvements. We could use a little more of everything. In my opinion, Bloor West (where I scored 66) has a fantastic selection of things to walk to. I miss it just a little but is only a short drive away (LOL).
Find out your score.

    What is a FUN Neighbourhood?

    Neighbours communicate with regular get togethers, playdates, conversations, e-mails, community meetings and at local events such as garage sales, parks, community parties, local restaurants, school functions and more.

    Neighbours know what resources are available to them through communication with local community groups, local government and other organizations (daycares, recreation centres, libraries etc). Neighbours are advocates to ensure adequate resources exist and they make a point of sharing what is available in their neighbourhoods.

    Local government and neighbours promote and participate in active lifestyles and protect the outdoor environments that provide these opportunities.

    Neighbourhood members work to have greater access to trails, open spaces and other active living resources.

    Fun neighbourhoods celebrate diversities and artistic pursuits.
