There is a sense of belonging that comes with living in a neighbourhood you like to walk in. City Council can encourage Surrey residents to walk more by making it easier to get around. New homes should be located close to local amenities.
Neighbourhoods should be smaller, more walkable blocks, with adequate lighting for nighttime and more street beautification programs in neighbourhoods so that walking is more pleasant during the day. A sedentary lifestyle with a lot of driving and little walking, can lead to obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. But many neighbourhoods in Surrey are simply not walkable because they don't have sidewalks. Major roads in Surrey should all have sidewalks as well as an adequate number of pedestrian-controlled crosswalks. Surrey should adopt more pedestrian-friendly policies in its future development.
