I was reading this article and wondered what my walkability score is.

Do you live in one of Canada’s most walkable cities? - Evergreen

So, where does your city rank among the most walkable in Canada? We used Walk Score and Pedestrians First to rate the top ten cities in Canada with a population of 200,000 or greater.

What’s your walkability score, and do you agree?

Here’s mine, located near Riverdale Farm. Which I don’t exactly agree with, especially the 100% score for cycling - we have zero bike lanes on Gerrard from River to Parliament, or anywhere on Parliament or Carlton. We don’t deserve a top score.

Walker’s Paradise​

Daily errands do not require a car.

Excellent Transit​

Transit is convenient for most trips.

Biker’s Paradise​

Daily errands can be accomplished on a bike.

Hilariously, the score for my old house in Fredericton, NB was 23% walk, 0% for transit, 29% bike. Which is one reason we moved back.

I'm 96 Walk, 83 Transit, and 84 Bike

I live a 5 minute walk to two Line 2 stations (Coxwell and Danforth), and am 100m from Danforth bike lanes, with 4 Bike Share stations less than a 5 minute walk from home. We have never owned a car in the 15 years we've lived here. It's an extremely livable area.

Not a big surprise in my case since I'm at the Manulife Centre. The bike score is a bit low, but there are fewer bike lanes around here.

Daily errands not only don’t require a car, but can be done almost entirely indoors, even by people using a walker, and I'm quite sure that's why our building is popular with older people.

 

[TwinHuey]

I'm in Cliffcrest.

Looks like I’m anchoring the other end of the chart — my Walk Score is somewhere between “bring a canteen” and “leave breadcrumbs.”

If the Kingston Road cycle track survives the upcoming public meetings without getting torched by the anti-bike brigade, my Bike Score might actually crawl up a few digits.

Car-Dependent​

Most errands require a car.

Good Transit​

Many nearby public transportation options.

Somewhat Bikeable​

Minimal bike infrastructure.

 

[Towered]

Mine:

57
56
46

BLEH

 

[Napalm Frog]

I' surprised by my bike score, I'm pretty much next to St Patrick station so the rest makes sense.

 

[doady]

Very Walkable​

Most errands can be accomplished on foot.

Some Transit​

A few nearby public transportation options.

Bikeable​

Some bike infrastructure.


Near Heartland.

These Gen Z friends gained online fame – and haters – for their hours-long Toronto walks

Five friends have garnered online fame for their hours-long walks – and sparked strong feelings about their generation’s late launch into adulthood

I just read this article! I support the walker group!

Honestly, it is great for younger Gen Z to go out there and explore. Granted, all 5 of them in the article have degrees, but hey, the uncertainty in today's economy makes their lives hard.

I guess it is something to think about...

But hey who is up for a long walking journey from Union Station to Finch Station! haha

@TwinHuey @Mihairokov @Towered @Admiral Beez

haha I will post my walkability when I used to live at Midtown (Yonge & Eglinton)!
