Orange County Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan 34 <br />Nish T. presented the final Transportation Multimodal Plan, the plan includes approximately 300 35 <br />projects, focusing entirely on rural Orange County. The comprehensive draft document includes details 36 <br />of the public engagement process, analysis, and summary, as well as the prioritization and scoring 37 <br />methodologies, and all comments received during the planning process. The primary change involved 38 <br />removing town projects. Despite this consolidation and thorough documentation of the planning 39 <br />process, schedule, and purpose, there was discussion about the challenges of limited public response 40 <br />to county plans. Discussion was held on the bike/ped map as being incorporated into the Transportation 41 <br />Multimodal Plan. When Stantec completes the bike/ped plan, it will be incorporated into it. 42 <br /> 43 <br />Art M. made the recommendation to move the public engagement comments to an appendix, so it was 44 <br />not the first information viewed. This would be consistent with the Short-Range Transit Plan. 45 <br /> 46
