The Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center (PBIC) announced new Walk Friendly Communities (WFC) in 10 locations across the nation. The three Gold Level communities were: Chicago, Minneapolis, and San Francisco.  Three more communities were given Silver Level status, and four were awarded Bronze Level.

The “Walk Friendly” title recognizes a city or town for their success in working to improve a wide range of conditions related to walking -- including safety, mobility, access, and comfort.
