SIDEWALKS
Boston is known as a great walking city. Like many older cities, it was designed with the pedestrian in mind, with sidewalks and street trees along most of its streets; neighborhoods within walking distance of corner stores and commercial centers; and varied street fronts that provide interesting routes and inviting destinations. Sidewalk character is a key contributor to the identity of Boston’s neighborhoods. As transit is within walking distance of virtually every place in the city, Boston is well suited for healthy, active transportation built around walking.
