Walkable Communities

By Laura Knoy on Wednesday, September 10, 2003.

Cities and towns from Seattle, Washington to tiny Littleton, New Hampshire are making efforts to become more walkable; incorporating a more village like enviroment where everything you need from shops to resturants to entertainment to the town greenspace is a close walk away from home. We'll look at these efforts and focus on two New Hampshire communities, Keene and Littleton as models that are less car-friendly and more walkable. Laura's guest is Dan Burden, Director of Walkable Communities, Inc. and Rhett Lamb, Planning Director for the City of Keene, New Hampshire. Other guests TBA.
