My town's walkability nightmare: the closest southbound bus stop to a great mexican restaurant, an old folks' home, a 3 star hotel, two fast food restaurants, a bank, and other local businesses. (beehaw.org)

You're looking at that right by the way. THREE freeway ramps!! I walked this last week and it was genuinely terrifying. The first freeway ramp when coming from the bus stop has NO pedestrian lights or signals.

Also those of you with good eyes will notice that there is NO SIDEWALK south of the bus stop. None. If you want to walk south on that particular street (which is 5 lanes btw) then you have to cross the freeway to get to the other side of the road.

Is it sad the first thing that came to mind is how nice it is you have a sidewalk all the way there. Most places around here you're either on the road or in the bushes trying to walk places.
