Would you walk 2 miles to a restaurant? Readers weigh in

Many Axios Twin Cities readers love to walk, but how much they do it for utility depends on where they live.

Here's a sampling of what some of them said in response to our recent report on Minnesotans' walking habits:

🇬🇧 Robert F. loves walking the trails near his Rosemount home. "As a Brit I walk everywhere if I can but between the weather and the lack of pedestrian-friendly routes, Minnesota makes it very hard!"

📆 Stephanie F. liked to do brainstorm meetings with colleagues before retirement. "We'd put on our jackets or sweaters and get out for a half an to hour walk/talk. Love it!"

🏙️ Deb M. lives in downtown Minneapolis and walks everywhere. "I put on a minimum of 10,000 steps per day" going out to eat, getting happy hour drinks, shopping for groceries or visiting Life Time.

🛑 Felicia C. walks anywhere under two miles and takes a bus or bike for longer trips. "By far the biggest problem I witness is that drivers are wildly unpredictable and terrifyingly disrespectful to the lives of pedestrians."

🅿️ Matt E. of Pelican Rapids travels the Midwest for work. "I cannot tell you how much my daily life improved when I stopped caring how close in proximity to my destination I park."

🌳 Heidi V. walks her South Minneapolis neighborhood daily. "Yes, it takes longer to walk that it would to drive but I like to just walk, be in the present moment, enjoy nature and slow down."

🚦 Araceli C. moved to Uptown from Houston and loves the walkable neighborhood. "There have been great improvements, even in the short time I've been here, but I have seen many places in the metro that are missing sidewalks or basic amenities for pedestrians."

🚶‍♀️ Sue D. lives in the North Loop and doesn't own a car. "My goal is to walk 6-10 miles each day. I love to walk in every season. I am 69 years old."
