Investing in certain areas that are potentially at-risk or that have what have been traditionally marginalized populations is a benefit to regions not only from a job accessibility, economic regeneration standpoint, but also from a cost-reduction and cost-deferral standpoint William Riggs, KPBS http://www.kpbs.org/news/2017/nov/16/city-heights-upgrades/

Walkability Report Generates Questions
Walkability Report Generates Questions
New walkability benchmarking report out with some provocative results. I’m curious how Alaska can be the highest ranking state with regard to walking levels, but not have a city that ranks in the top 50.
Also, not surprising, the places with the most walking look like they have the most bike-ped related fatalities, but such inferences generate their own set of questions. All are significant areas of opportunity for research.
