A Walkable Audit is a review of walking conditions along specified streets conducted with several or many community members. Audits can last from one hours to an entire day. Audits can involve 60-minute to half-day walk or bus tours of areas of interest and concern, which are analyzed by Dan and the group. Sometimes Dan conducts walkable audits with a small group of local staff members. He often documents conditions with photographs (both slide and digital images) and video tape.

Downtown areas and adjacent neighborhoods are analyzed for both their positive and negative conditions. Recommendations are made on:

• sidewalk width and condition,
• street crossings,
• connectivity to parking,
• on-street and off-street parking,
• screening,
• tree canopy,
• building placement,
• restorations,
• housing type and mix
