Neighbourhood Walkability Study - During the week of World Planning Day (November 8, 2010) we asked people to voluntarily complete a walkability survey for their neighbourhood. Two dozen responses were received. The average for each neighbourhood is listed below. This survey was not scientific and is for interest sake only and to raise awareness of the concepts of walkability and active living. The scores could range from 95 up to 665, with 95 being the most walkable. The score can range significantly within a neighbourhood.
