Lived in Fox Point for years, walk quite a bit around the neighborhood. It's safe and pedestrian friendly. There are a number of queer owned businesses and AFAIK, it's a welcoming place for gay people.

Do you walk over the bridge much? Is it safe to walk from downtown to Fox Point?

Just walked down to the bridge today, worst part was climbing back up the hill! In my experience, it's quite safe. To add, that walk (Fox Point to the ped bridge) is through or around Brown's campus, so crime-wise, it's as safe as it gets.

The most dangerous part is the wind. Literally it’s always windy there.

What time of day are you thinking? I'm assuming that since you mentioned bars, you might walk home late at night.

As a 51yo woman, I might not walk it alone between 10pm and 4am, but maybe I would. If I were a man, I'd probably have no qualms doing so.

Yeah I wouldn’t be out too late. Maybe 12/1230 coming home from the bars. I don’t mind ubering but I’d rather walk it off if I can!
