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