Transportation

Driving is often the favoured approach to move around in this area. It is very easy to park. In contrast, getting around by public transit is challenging in Chatham. Thankfully, the neighbourhood is linked by a few bus lines, and most homes are very close to a bus stop. It is sometimes difficult for pedestrians to get around in this part of Chatham-Kent as few common errands can be run without needing a vehicle. On the other hand, travelling by bicycle is easy in this area as there are a limited number of hills for cyclists to brave.
