~~ Bicycle lanes and shared facilities (sharrows) are planned as an integral component of the transportafion network in Buckhorn Village. Bicycle storage will be provided in both the mixed-use and commercial areas within the project. It is unlikely that the addition of bicycle access across I-85 can be integrated beyond what will be provided as walkways and shared travel lanes. The applicant supports the need to encourage carpooling and public transportation not only for employees but also for patrons and residents. Buckhorn Village will provide at least one major information-kiosk in a central location that will list transit and carpool information. Waste: Buckhorn Village is committed to working closely with Orange County and future tenants to minimize waste during construction and to facilitate trash sorting and recycling on an ongoing basis. The Master Plan (Section 2-3-3 Environmental Factors) identifies specifics relating to this concern. Waste recycling facilities will not only be provided at primary collection points but also at numerous locations suitable for end user convenience. Food composting on-site is not considered an appropriate activity in the context of Buckhorn Village.
