2016 Great Greenway/Trail: Walkable Warren, City of Warren (Warren County)

Great Places Healthy Communities Urban Design & Placemaking 2016

The Walkable Warren corridor connects an existing bike trail that enters the City of Warren from the north and a major park on the west side of town. Parking is available at both entry points. The corridor was the brainchild of a unique partnership involving the City, Warren County, the County Transit Authority, Experience, Inc., the Warren/Forest Area Agency on Aging and the Allegheny Community Center. Utilizing signage, the partnership encourages drivers to park their vehicles on the outskirts of town, then, together with their passengers, walk or bike into town. The signage directs pedestrian and bicycle traffic through the back streets of the community past older and amazing architecture, City parks, the retail sector, the community center, and the beautiful scenery offered by the Conewango Creek and the Allegheny River. Walkable Warren promotes healthy lifestyles among residents and visitors by providing a fun, friendly way to exercise without even knowing it. The project has increased the number of visitors to the City, improved the health of residents, and contributed to a sense of place and community pride. One noteworthy aspect of the corridor is that the cost was minimal. Walkable Warren took advantage of existing infrastructure and its multiple use characteristics to create a safe and pedestrian friendly walking/biking corridor for residents and visitors of all ages.
