Healthy Aging Initatives Throughout the State

WalkBoston has Heathy Aging initiatives underway in Brookline, Fall River, Gloucester and Weymouth, training seniors in these communities to conduct audits of various walking routes. The groups are shown how to make constructive recommendations to the city about needed improvements around senior centers, schools, and near transit stops in order to improve accessibility for all residents. Thank you to Healthy City Fall River for the great pictures from last week’s training!

Walk Audit Weymouth

Weymouth has many of the attributes of a walkable community including a street system that has interconnected blocks of moderate size, a mix of land uses within reasonable proximity of many residents, a number of commercial areas that include a variety of civic uses, a mix of housing types including multi- family buildings and a wide mix of single family housing types, parks that are interspersed into many neighborhoods and a varied topography and landscape including both ponds and sea shore. In addition, Weymouth has a mix of transit services including both commuter rail and bus. This too provides an important backbone for a walkable place.
