For the most part I think Coeur d'Alene is a walking town. The Centennial Trail is fantastic. But I don't consider the older neighborhoods to be very pedestrian friendly. This is where my wife & I have lived for 30 years and walk a lot. There are many streets with absolutely no sidewalks. And the neighborhoods have been there for over 50 years or more! So we end up walking in the street, around parked cars and snow berms in the winter. This can be very dangerous. I'm not sure why the city hasn't found the money to complete the sidewalk system after all these years. But once this gets done it will truely make Coeur d'Alene a walking town and maybe we can make the list.
