I've lived in different suburbs my whole life and all have had sidewalks. They don't get used as much as in cities obviously, but you still have kids walking to/from school, people walking their dogs, going on runs, etc.

The only places I've seen without sidewalks would be clearly classified as "rural".




Some cities are really good at putting in sidewalks if it is a residential area. Others don't bother putting them in neighborhoods at all.

A much bigger issue is that you can't generally get to a store, across town, or to work on sidewalks.


25% of Seattle has no sidewalks, including many residential areas...
