Want sidewalks and improvements in areas where you walk? Start here!

Walkability is a measure of how friendly an area is to all walkers including seniors, schoolchildren, and people utilizing wheelchairs and strollers. Research has proven that walkability provides multiple benefits including improved health outcomes, environmental impact, economic, cost savings both to individuals and to the public, increased efficiency of land use, and increased livability.

Bike Walk Wichita’s Pedestrian Workgroup, comprised of residents and community partners, are collaborating with city and county staff to collect neighborhood data to help prioritize and increase sidewalk and street improvements in Wichita, KS. Your data will automatically be added to a map that will be shared and utilized by residents and local government! The problem is…there are A LOT of sidewalks! Help score your block(s) to help identify issues.
