THE WalkaBlE CiTY
In Alberta, the car (er, truck?) may be king, but we like to walk, too. ere's plenty of
evidence that people who live in places where walking is easy and pleasurable are
healthier, happier – and safer on the roads. Read on as we take a look at the state of
walking in the province (p. 36), then draw some inspiration from the fi ve most walkable
cities in North America (p. 39). Plus: a refresher on road-crossing safety (p. 41) and the
latest on distracted walking and navigating school zones (p. 42).
