Car-centric with growing alternatives
Transportation options around Plaza Tower primarily cater to car owners, reflecting the typical suburban layout of Bismarck. The building's attached heated garage provides a convenient starting point for residents who rely on personal vehicles for their daily commutes and errands. This feature is particularly valuable during the harsh North Dakota winters, offering protection from the elements and eliminating the need for snow removal from vehicles.
While the area is primarily car-oriented, there are options for those who prefer alternative modes of transportation. The neighborhood has a moderate level of bike-friendliness, with a Bike Score of 51 out of 100. This suggests that while biking is feasible for some trips, dedicated bike lanes or trails may be limited. Residents who enjoy cycling might find it suitable for recreational rides or short trips to nearby amenities.
Walking is a viable option for some destinations, as indicated by the Walk Score of 50 out of 100. This means that some errands can be accomplished on foot, particularly to nearby parks, schools, or local businesses. However, many daily needs may require transportation beyond walking distance.
Public transit options in the area are limited, which is typical for a city of Bismarck's size. Residents who rely on public transportation may need to plan their trips carefully and may find that a car is necessary for many activities.
For those needing to travel further afield, the Bismarck Municipal Airport is conveniently located about 6 miles away, or a 20-minute drive from Plaza Tower. This proximity makes air travel relatively accessible for residents, whether for business or leisure.
