Actually, there is a way to calculate whether surviving without a car is possible. It is called a "Walk Score". A walk score is a number between 0 and 100 which describes the walkability of a location. If your walk score is 0, then everything you do in a daily routine requires a car. If your walk score is 100, then everything you do can be done without a car.
There are people, and increasingly - younger ones, who are actually choosing the community in which they want to live based upon a high walk score. Why is a high walk score good?
Studies show that walking is healthy. It not only provides exercise, but it also stimulates the mind. It is peaceful. Imagine if you could walk along a visually stimulating path to work. Imagine if you didn't have to get into a car every time you needed to leave your house. What would that do for your health?

But it doesn't have to be that way. We could have more walking paths and more businesses in Vail. Do what you can to create a smart Vail.
