Reply to comment by JaimeGordonLannister in moving to bethlehem? by sloppytoptennessee

Only disagreement I would have with your post is the car centric piece. While Littleton is not car centric and probably has one of the most walkable downtown areas out there, if you want serious grocery shopping you need wheels. In Bethlehem they'll need wheels to get anything other than beer or coffee if they live near downtown.

Good point. You can do a lot on foot, including go to the co-op, but it's not quite close enough to downtown to justify most days. And the street crossing by the co-op kind of sucks. If they added a back way to the co-op for bikes and pedestrians, preferably off the rail trail, it would massively improve my quality of life.

And of course if you want to ever go on a hike, check out other mountain biking trails, etc., you're totally dependent on a car. Not that different from most US cities, but you couldn't use public transit even if you wanted to here.
