40 <br /> 1-21-93 Final Version <br /> B. RURAL CROSSROADS <br /> There are eight RURAL CROSSROADS recognized by the County as "Rural <br /> Neighborhood Nodes" . These are locations where the provision of <br /> services to neighborhood-area residents occurs. RURAL CROSSROADS <br /> represent specific locations where convenience-level services have <br /> been provided over time. Most of these services are linked closely <br /> to the transportation network - specifically the automobile . <br /> These recommendations recognize and augment these important <br /> crossroads for their importance in regional service provision. <br /> RURAL CROSSROADS IN ORANGE COUNTY <br /> 1 .
