Are you on River north of admiral? South of admiral is a really fine area.

I only drive through the part of river ave north of admiral. I don't think you'll have any problems if you do walk around. It is dumpy up there though. Go to PC and walk the track.

Wanskuck isn't an area to be taking walks - especially when dark.

The people telling you that your only risk is getting hit by a car are people who are not even remotely familiar with the area.

Since you’re the local expert on crime, can you pull up some stats about the people who have been walking, minding their own business and were victims of crime in this area?

Insincere question as you are well aware that those stats don't exist for this area or any area.

So innocent walkers are regularly victims of crime and it's not being reported by our police or media?

Crimes of opportunity do happen regularly in the rougher (and sometimes not so rough) areas of Providence. Nearly everybody carries a valuable phone.

The media doesn't cover that.

I used to regularly walk from Douglas ave, to downtown at night. Never had a problem. saw some sketchy people and whatnot, but was never in fear for my life. I lived on Goddard St. I wouldn't suggest a woman walk alone at night around there, but a couple walking during the day? Where exactly do you live, if you dont mind me asking...

Women walk alone on Goddard Street at night. They're called hookers.

Nobody's out on Goddard street at night. I can assure you. It was usually quiet as hell. I dont even down vote you bro. I leave that to the other people. I would just like to know where you get info from. The news, or have you lived in the area? There were 2 trap houses across from the park, but again, I brought my kids to the park all the time with no problems.
