The City of Conway endeavors to create a more walk-friendly community where everyone can safely and comfortably walk through a more complete pedestrian network.

Walkability is the foundation for all modes of transportation. All trips require walking at some point. Walking is the most widely used transportation method, as well as the oldest. Whether you just ned to get to the other side of your house or get to the store, walking can get you there. Designing a walk-friendly community means more than just having sidewalks. A walk-friendly community is one that is designed so that all residents, regardless of their age, ability, or socioeconomic status can safely arrive at their destination without the use of a vehicle.
