Objective 4 - Update the Transportation Element of the <br /> Comprehensive Plan, includes the development of a Bicycle Component for the <br /> Transportation Element (see attached copy of Objective 4) of the Comprehensive <br /> Plan. <br /> The purposes for developing a Bicycle Plan Component are: 1) to complete a <br /> recommendation (to develop and adopt local Bicycle Plans) of the 1993 DCHC <br /> Regional Bicycle Plan, and 2)to use the Bicycle Plan Component to develop a list <br /> of bicycle projects for inclusion in the annual Orange County Transportation <br /> Priorities List. <br /> A Bicycle Plan Component Task Force (BPCTF) is recommended to insure that <br /> the specific needs of Orange County bicyclists are considered in the development <br /> and implementation of a Bicycle Plan Component. The BPCTF will function like <br /> a Bicycle Advisory Committee for the duration of the development of the Bicycle <br /> Plan Component. Appointment to the BPCTF will expire with the Board's final <br /> decision on whether or not to adopt the recommended Bicycle Plan Component. <br /> Bicycle Advisory Committees are recommended by the 1993 DCHC Regional <br /> Bicycle Plan. Attached is a Dra BPCTF Structure, Dra BPCTF Charge, and a <br /> Drafi Bicycle Component Plan Schedule. <br />
