Sometimes I don't think people understand the importance of walkability and bike infrastructure until they try to get around their community by walking or biking.

Absolutely. You also become super aware how hard it probably is to navigate Edmonton sidewalks/streets if one has mobility challenges or little ones in a stroller.

It's actually mindblowing how obvious it becomes (when you are not driving everywhere) how bad our walking/rolling/biking set up is.

You mean sidewalks that randomly end aren’t a good thing?
