Needham, A Walkable Community

Walkable community experts say that it's easy to do errands on foot if you live within a 1/4 mile of commerce. And fitness experts recommend 10,000 steps per day, at any pace, for overall health. How far is that? How long does it take to walk it? How much can you carry, and what's the safest way to do so? With walking and green consumer expert Seth Bauer, you'll get the answers to all those questions as you crisscross the center of Needham, the very prototype of a walkable community. Meet at the Town Hall Green. This event is sponsored by Needham in Motion and their Eat Well Be Fit series.
