Characteristics
Transportation
Cars are an excellent transportation option in this community. Parking is easy. This community is not very bike-friendly because the bicycling infrastructure is not very well-developed, and there are a fair number of hills. Big Bay is also not very conducive to those who prefer to get around as pedestrians since running common errands is very impractical without a car.
Services
In all but a very small number of cases, a vehicle is required to buy groceries. Residents of Big Bay benefit from a few restaurants as well. Regarding education, it is a short trip to get to primary schools from anywhere in this community. However, neither secondary schools nor high schools are easy to access without a vehicle.
Character
