    The Sierra Club action center sent us a great site where you are able to see a map of your personal home's geographic location and determine how "walkable" it is. As we continue to work with the Sacramento Mobility Coalition on this and other transportation issues, this is good information to have. You can find it at http://action.sierraclub.org/site.
