Is there a question about sidewalks or walkability you wish we had asked in this survey or a comment you would like to share? If so, please let us know.
Multi-modal pathways would be safer for walkers if bicycles used a bell or horn to notify walkers when they come upon them from behind. The major obstacle to walking in winter is the snow and ice on sidewalks. My walking buddy broke her wrist when she slipped on ice, so we have cut back our winter walking significantly. We were doing it daily before then.
We also walk after work, which in the winter time means walking at night. Despite wearing reflective clothing and lights, we have to be extremely cautious of drivers who don't see us.
