The weekly poll is thinking about taking a walk. Why don’t you go vote and then join it?

This week’s topic is about your neighborhood and how pedestrian friendly it is. I’m not talking so much about walkability (the ability to easily walk to work, school, shopping, etc), as I’m talking about how safe you feel going out and walking and or running in your local community.  I’m a runner and I love the fact that I can run in my own neighborhood without having to drive anywhere. I’m often out and about in the streets of my neighborhood, and for the most part, folks are pretty considerate of all manner of pedestrians and I feel very safe running in my ‘hood,  even though there is some through traffic and there are no sidewalks.   In fact, now that I live in a place where I can run and walk whenever I want, I can’t imagine living somewhere where I couldn’t.

So what about you? Is your neighborhood the kind of place you can easily take an after dinner stroll? Or are you pretty much limited to walking to the mailbox? Cast your vote and let me know.
