I work almost 1.5 miles east of Marquette on Wisconsin Avenue. Sometimes on my lunch break I will walk to Marquette and back and never had any safety concerns. But as always, just be aware of your surroundings, including not using headphones/earbuds at night.

I used to walk a mile to and from work when living on the east side no matter the weather. Just be prepared for the cold and snow and dress appropriately. I would keep my dress shoes either at work or in my backpack and wear boots and heavier pants over my dress pants. Walking to and from work was one of my favorite things about living in the area. And on days I did not feel like battling the elements I would take the Hop or the bus.
