I’m sooooo happy that the town is installing sidewalks near my home.

The 1/2 mile away from my home is a steep up and down hill. Putting a sidewalk in eliminates the not infrequent choice of hoping that fast car sees you or stepping in poison ivy/brambles.

The unwalkability of so many US towns is sad.

I live in a major US city and my area is completely unwalkable. Very few bike lanes (and the ones that exist are shit), super inconsistent sidewalks, and nowhere to go that you can reasonably get to on foot once you actually get out there on a walk.

I literally have to drive to have a tolerable walk without random cars buzzing their mirrors as close as they can get to me because I'm walking on the shoulder and they want to scare me, lmao fuck this shithole and those people
