There is a new service online called Walk Score that attempts to measure the walkability of your neighborhood and score it on a scale of 1 to 100. I think it is a great tool and look forward to finding ways to use it in class discussions about different neighborhoods, but it is also fun to take a new tool like this and test its limits. Here are a few fun results:Our neighborhood got a 66.
The new Liberty Harbor project gets a 78.
The nice Marble Hill neighborhood in the Bronx, NY got an 85.
The Maryland State House in Annapolis got an 85.
A random address in Seaside FL got a 23.
An address on Treehaven St in The Kentlands got a 75.
A random address in Camden NJ got a 69.
I can't wait to see Version 2.
