"Many people say, ‘That’s just how it is’, or ‘America just isn’t built that way’, but those answers fall flat to me when I have experienced walkable communities in a variety of settings. These places are pleasures to live in, not just something to make the best of for a little while."

I often take a pair of pruners on my walks around town in case there is a stray branch impeding the way, but I may need to start lugging around a machete (yes, I have one). Jokes aside, I wish homeowners would show a bit of respect to the low-vision residents in the neighborhood who have to navigate these obstacles. #swarthmore #walking #sidewalks #plants #walkability #pruning #hedges #yardwork #streets #traffic #pedestrian
Walking north on the corner of Lancaster street and Victoria, I discovered a new "feature." If there's a train, pedestrians don't get a walk light. Why not? Why aren't pedestrians allowed to cross the street? #walkability @waterlooregion
