Center Ridge and Wagar is typical Cleveland. Excellent bus service, sidewalks, lots of amenities...but everyone still drives. I took the 55 from Lakewood (a breeze, BTW) to take care of some business at Westgate, and while I was walking around the area, people looked at me like I had two heads. But, setting aside that and the fact that Center Ridge is generally ugly as sin, it's a fine neighborhood to walk around and get things done.

The Web site that WeSoHood refers to was not paid for by tax dollars. It's created by a software company concerned with civic issues. As they say right on their site, under the "How It Doesn't Work" tab, it doesn't take a lots of things into consideration.
Taking the Hudson vs. Lorain & 25th example, if you live in the center of Hudson, it's walkable; out on Rt.91, not so much. If you don't care about theatres and art galleries, but want the shops you use nearby, almost anywhere on Lorain all the way out to the burbs is highly walkable.
Walkability can be measured by a Web application, but it's a highly subjective subject. Everybody weights the importance of different amenities - some want lots of restaurants but don't care about boutiques, some like galleries and fresh food markets but don't care if there are movie theatres.
My favorite walking areas in metro Cleveland are Tremont, north and east of Lincoln Park; 25th and Lorain; the antique row on Lorain; Lakewood, Madison Ave or Detroit Ave; Coventry; Murray Hill and Little Italy; Larchmont and Shaker Square. All of these are reachable by public transportation. A lot of the suburbs have walkable areas, especially the ones that started as villages and still retain the old town center, like Hudson and Chagrin Falls. You could consider Legacy Village and Crocker Park walkable areas, but that's a whole 'nother story.
