America Walks, in collaboration with Sam Schwartz Engineering, has released a guide to creating walkable communities, “Steps to a Walkable Community: A Guide for Citizens, Planners, and Engineers.”  The guide is a compendium of innovative and multidisciplinary tools, ideas, and tactics that have been used to improve conditions for and to encourage more walking in communities around the country.  The guide is available as a PDF download for free, although providing contact information is required.
