G 009 <br /> Another recommendation of the Plan is for the county to develop a greenways <br /> system. National, state, and regional efforts to establish these "green <br /> corridors" are especially strong in our area. Greenways are usually linear <br /> areas of land, usually along rivers and streams, which can link public areas <br /> to the citizens for access by foot, bike, or even canoe. Greenways also <br /> serve purposes other than for man's transportation convenience and it is <br /> important that areas of natural significance be protected through greenway <br /> and open space plans. <br /> Population projections indicate an immediate need for two (2) public swimming <br /> pools. In order to maximize resources and avoid duplication of service, it <br /> is recommended that these pools be located at the two county high schools. <br /> These locations provide the best accessibility to the greatest number of <br /> participants. <br /> Many agencies and individuals contributed to the preparation of this Plan and <br /> special acknowledgement should go the members of the Master Plan Advisory <br /> Group who monitored the process and provided input into the recommendations: <br /> Gail Condie Laura Mansberg <br /> Patrick Davis Kirk Pelland <br /> Richard Drake Bob Strayhorn <br /> Judsen Eideburn Barry Torain <br /> Ron Hyatt Ira Trollinger <br /> Special thanks is also extended to the following: <br /> Orange County Board of County Commissioners <br /> Carrboro Recreation and Parks Department <br /> Chapel Hill/Carrboro School System <br /> Chapel Hill Parks and Recreation Department <br /> Duke University <br /> Mebane Recreation and Parks Department <br /> Orange County Manager's Office <br /> Orange County Planning Department Board and Staff <br /> Orange County Recreation & Parks Department Advisory Council and Staff <br /> Orange County School System <br /> Orange water and Sewer Authority <br /> Recreation Division, North Carolina Natural Resources and Community Development <br /> Recreation Resources Service, N.
