My neighborhood is very walker and bicyclist friendly. We have sidewalks on both sides of nearly every tree-lined street. There are multiple ways you can go to get to nearly anyplace. We have an exceptional public bus system that is available 7 days a week. Disabled people can get free bus passes. Best of all is our city park system. The parks are a priority for our city officials so the entire system is well kept. We have a beautiful lake right in the city. We have a sailboat club here of which I am a member in good standing.
All of the above. My parents live here. Age 91 and 88
There's a lot of young people out here being crazy.
