A community is considered walkable if it is easy and safe for pedestrians to walk for recreation and exercise and to destinations such as schools, stores, parks, and post offices. A walkable community encourages the safe use of existing infrastructure while expanding transportation options for users with varied ranges of mobility. The goal of this assessment is to bring all stakeholders together to identify the problems facing the Fort Totten community when it comes to walking in the area. The review documents the current recommended follow-up steps undertaken by the Spirit Lake Nation's (SLN) Transportation Department or its consulting firm(s) and will be useful to inform next steps such as identifying funding opportunities and future research needs.
