Getting around score - Page 3

The highest bike score in Los Angeles is the Venice neighborhood, at 88.

Funny, I guess because the age I am, I always associated Venice with rollerskating too. When I was in my mid-20s, I used to rollerblade from Redondo Beach to Santa Monica every weekend with a friend... and it gave me thighs of steel, which I no longer have haha!

NYC, 246
SF, 238
Vancouver, 233
Boston, 225
DC, 215
Chicago, 214
Minneapolis, 210
Philadelphia, 209
Seattle, 205
Montreal, 205
Good ol Portland 199.

I excluded Arlington, VA with 202 as its mostly contiguous with DC. Terr derr.

How did Toronto get left out? LOL

I just looked it up, and it gets 200, one up on on Portland!

I wonder how walkscore determined this area to be "downtown Utica"
Is it made up by the website or does the city have an actual map that corresponds with this I wonder?

I've never had either, but a Utica Club and some Italian food sounds really good right now.
Chicken riggies or another Utica invention

Oh yeah sorry about that. I just saw its walkscore below Denver. Actually Toronto seems like its getting hosed. Its super walkable, bikeable and has good transit. Id contest the results.

I typed in Old Toronto since for some reason "Downtown Toronto" put me between the Garden District and Cabbagetown South, North of Moss Park lol

Old Toronto, 286

Small side note: Sadly, the Central Subway's opening got announced and it won't be until November 19.

Oh well. We'll have to see it another time.

Already made SF hotel reservations for next month. We're already planning a little food tour; different theme this time.
