The Walkable Warren corridor is designated by way signing

which includes the colorful and distinctive Walkable Warren

logo. Five strategically located kiosks help to enhance your

journey by providing a glimpse into the rich history of our

area.

Walkable Warren is a local initiative intended to promote

healthy lifestyles by encouraging pedestrian and bicycling as

alternative modes of travel in and around the City of Warren. Warren has a wealth of scenic

landscapes, historic architecture, public parks, and trails, all worthy of showcasing and that are

best experienced on foot or by bicycle. Recommended routes of travel between the Warren/North

Warren Bike/Hike Trail, core downtown, and a few of our public parks are marked by Walkable

Warren signage along our public streets. We encourage you to step out of the automobile as a

source of travel, and instead, experience Walkable Warren on foot or by bicycle. Pedestrians

should use the sidewalks. Bicyclists must obey all traffic laws.
