Boston is a very walkable city except when you want to cross the street. Doesn’t matter if you on Beacon Hill or Dot Ave – look left, right, left – then run.

The Boston Business Journal interviewed Walk Score — the company the produced the survey — CEO, Joshua Herst, who stated “Boston is a very walkable place and came out with a score of 79.5, making it a very walkable location.” Herst went on to say “Boston may be our most consistent performer, coming in at number three in our 2008, 2011 and 2014 rankings.”

Additional insights from the interview are available on the BBJ.
