Austin Business Journal: Austin named one of best cities for walking
According to the Austin Business Journal: Prevention magazine and the American Podiatric Medical Association have named Austin the second best city in the country for fitness and walking.
"While it's nice to receive accolades, in my opinion, we're nowhere near as pedestrian-friendly as we need to be," says Austin Mayor Will Wynn. "Fortunately, the continued revitalization and repopulation of downtown, as well as other developments like the Triangle and the old Mueller Airport, are big steps in the right direction."
comments: so what does it boil down to real estate, if Austin developers and the City do not develop properties in a citizen friendly way, Austin would have no chance at this recognition. And what does that mean for the future of Austin, only good news really. Many people are looking for this type of environment and where there are more people, more employers and retailers will start appearing or expanding. Really, these are all positive signs for the Austin residential and commercial markets. Let's just hope that they don't grow too quickly...
