1 <br /> Department off`Environment, <br /> Agriculture, Parks &Recreation <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Travis Myren, County Manager <br /> FROM: David Stancil, DEAPR Director <br /> DATE: May 6, 2025 <br /> RE: Upcoming Trails Plan Community Visioning Sessions <br /> As part of the County Trails Plan project, the County - working in conjunction with <br /> project consultant Gensler - is planning for two community visioning sessions in <br /> May to engage the public on brainstorming and understanding the community's <br /> vision for trail connectivity. <br /> Both sessions will be interactive and open house style, so that residents may <br /> drop in and participate, coming and going as needed. Participants will be invited <br /> to share thoughts on what makes for successful trails, and what needs exist for <br /> trails and trail connections between parks and open spaces in the county. <br /> As shown in the attached flyer, Session 1 will be held on a Sunday afternoon, <br /> May 18 at the Solid Waste Administration Center meeting room on Eubanks <br /> Road in Chapel Hill from 2-5 pm, to provide an opportunity for residents who may <br /> have challenges making a weeknight evening session. <br /> Session 2 will be held Wednesday, May 21 from 6-9 pm at the Bonnie B. Davis <br /> Center Meeting Room on US 70 West in Hillsborough. Registration (using the <br /> QR code on the attached flyer) is suggested but not required. <br /> The consultant and staff will use the feedback from the visioning sessions, along <br /> with other feedback from online surveys, to develop a first draft of a plan during <br /> the summer. The web site for the Trails Plan project is now active and may be <br /> accessed at www.oran_.eq countync.com/TrailsPlan. <br /> Please let me know if we may provide more information. <br /> Orange County Department of Environment, Agriculture, Parks & Recreation <br /> PO Box 8181, Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> Phone: (919) 245-2510 <br />
