Despite miles of sidewalks, crosswalks and trails throughout the city, San Antonio rates low in measures of walkability.
What makes a city with more than 140 miles of trails, a 15-mile-long River Walk, and a plan to build more sidewalks along busy corridors, actually so bad for walking?for walkability. The score comes from analyzing a metropolitan area’s walkability and how easily people can use their own two feet, rather than a vehicle, to get to the places they need to go — work, school, the grocery store or the doctor’s office.
Opinion polls show people want to walk when they can, and the desire for walkable neighborhoods is high. Perhaps as evidence, San Antonio residents regularly take to thefor recreational walking. But when it comes to using their own two feet with a destination in mind, getting from place to place on foot is difficult in many parts of the city.
“There is another San Antonio outside of that area, which is identical to the mess that is occurring in most other cities,” Duany said. “It’s the pattern of suburban sprawl. That is the San Antonio which no one takes you to visit and is unremarkable in every way.” With an official Walk Score of just 34 out of a “walker’s paradise” of 100, San Antonio is behind places like Austin, El Paso and even Dallas, and far behind top-placers New York City, Chicago and Portland.
In other words, it takes into account how far people have to walk to actually get somewhere and what the experience of walking in everyday life is really like. It does not base the score on counting the number of sidewalks in a neighborhood. That plays out in where people choose to live. Stoeltje pointed out that walkability also impacts recruiting, retention and ultimately economic development.
