"Walkability" High In The Annex

Have you heard about walkability scores? 
One definition is "The extent to which the built environment is friendly to the presence of people living, shopping, visiting, enjoying or spending time in an area".
It's no surprise that Walkscore.com gives The Annex a walkscore of 94/100.
What did surprise me was the neighbourhoods that outrank it, including the number one Bay Street corridor and number two ranked Church Street corridor.
It makes sense, based solely on convenience. But I think if leafiness or attractiveness of the streets were counted, our area would be number one!
Competitive much?
Cheers,
Vanessa
