You can get around on foot within the Fairhaven district, but transportation between these areas is best by bicycle or bus between downtown and the University. There is a comprehensive network of bicycle and pedestrian paths throughout the city. Downtown, though small, is something of a maze, with many odd angles and one-way streets.
