Just want to add that walking in Olympia can be hazardous and often unpleasant. I do it because I have to and navigate broken and obstructed sidewalks daily. Hedges growing into sidewalks, low hanging tree branches or trees literally growing across sidewalks with branches at eye height, moss, leaves and other debris, kid’s toys, “free” items, cars parked on or across the sidewalks, bicyclists and not infrequently, dog ****. To avoid these obstructions, I walk on the street where I must dodge distracted and rude drivers ignoring stop signs and speed limits. So I understand why people don’t want to walk. I probably wouldn’t if I didn’t have to.
