10 Reasons for Walkable Communities
Why all the buzz about “walkability?” “Pedestrian-friendly” communities are in high demand, and for good reason. Safe, comfortable places to walk improve our quality of life. PEDS, metro Atlanta’s pedestrian advocacy organization, provides this top-ten list of benefits.
- Less traffic congestion
One-fourth of all car trips are less than a mile. Sidewalks and safe crossings enable you to reach destinations on foot, which reduces traffic congestion and air pollution. - Higher property values
Homes in pedestrian-friendly communities make good investments. Sidewalks and quiet, tree-lined streets boost the value of your home. - Lower transportation costs
Fewer car trips=lower gasoline costs. Each time you walk instead of drive, you save money on gas and maintenance. The savings add up. - More places to have fun
A walkable downtown attracts more stores and creates a thriving place to shop, eat, and find entertainment. Meanwhile, reduced demand for parking leaves more open space for parks and playgrounds.
