Nonsense. Interstate Highway 90 is quite unwalkable due to its lack of sidewalks.
- detaro 6y agoAnd if it had sidewalks it still wouldn't mean "[that] the neighborhood’s denizens can reasonably walk to meet their day-to-day necessities". (And in reverse, an interstate without sidewalks can be part of a walkable neighborhood if other infrastructure compensates for it)
- KirillPanov 6y ago> ... still wouldn't be a walkable neighborhood You clearly have not seen some of the highway interchanges in Olympia, WA. They aren't just neighborhoods, they're whole towns. Of tents. Walkable, but surely not safe. ;)
