Why should an Aggie grad test Houston walkability during both the day and evening?

Quick answer

Because the same route can feel completely different at noon and after dark. Daytime shows shade, sidewalks, crossings, errands and heat exposure; evening reveals lighting, traffic, nightlife spillover, parking activity and whether you would realistically make the walk after work. Grant wants walkability judged as something you will actually use, not merely a distance shown on a map.
