Top 5 Walk Scores in Toronto
Toronto is the 2nd most walkable city in Canada, according to Walk Score, coming in right after Vancouver. With a score of 71, it means that most errands in Toronto can be accomplished on foot and that Toronto also has a pretty impressive public transportation system.
The Walk Score measures walkability on a scale of 0-100 based on how walkable the routes are to run basic errands like visit the grocery store, grab a bite to eat, and drop off the kids to school. The Transit Score, which we will also talk about, calculates the distance to closest transit stop on each route, and the route frequency. Both are important to us, and both are important to many residents in the city.
This week on the blog we take a look at the top Walk Scores in the city: Continue reading
