Whether you want to get from point A to point B smoothly, without having to hop in the car and deal with traffic, or if point B is just too far to walk, Maine has a wide range of places ranging from 'walkable' to 'wow, don’t even try it.' We even have that famous expression, 'You can’t get there from here,' right?
Now, what makes a town, city, or municipality in Maine necessarily 'walkable?' What does that even mean?
According to the Harvard Digital Access to Scholarship at Harvard (Harvard DASH), the term 'walkability' is used in various contexts to describe different aspects related to pedestrian-friendly environments.
Some discussions focus on the physical features that make an area walkable, such as being easy to navigate, compact, visually appealing, and safe.
Others consider the outcomes of walkable environments, like vibrant communities, sustainable transportation options, and improved health from increased physical activity.
Additionally, some use walkability as a measure of good urban design, which can widely vary in definition and implementation.
The real estate company Redfin recently released a list on the blog portion of their website laying out the '9 Most Walkable Cities in Maine.'
Redfin talks about Maine and Maine’s beauty, but ultimately asks (and then answers the question) 'But how easy is it to explore these cities on foot?'
In the article, Redfin’s methodology to determine how walkable a city in our Pine Tree State is by examining factors that we’ve already touched on, like pedestrian friendliness and accessibility.
