Caption: Neighborhoods with cul-de-sacs and winding streets, such as this one in Bellevue, WA, have few shops and services within walking distance. (The walkability maps and information presented in Cascadia Scorecard 2006 were developed by University of British Columbia's Dr. Lawrence Frank, and colleagues Dr. James Sallis of San Diego State University and Dr. Brian Saelens of Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, and were funded by King County, Washington, and the National Institutes for Health.)
