Pedestrian Walkways of Princeton Heights

Last week I posted about a pair of Pedestrian walkways in the Northampton neighborhood, and am following up today with some photos of a similar duo in Princeton Heights.

Like those in Northampton, the Princeton Heights cut-thrus are in quiet residential areas.  Walking down them shows you homes, backyards, alleys and garages: a cross-section of the neighborhood.

 Local residents relaxing in their backyards or working in garages stopped us for brief but friendly conversations.  There is a real sense of community in this area, and the walkways are a really safe and pleasant piece of the public realm.

The photos above show the Quincy Walk.  A couple of blocks east is a shorter walkway, the Bonita Walk.

Finally, here is a map of the two walkways pictured and described above:
