16 <br /> Draft Trails Plan Guiding Principles <br /> Reflect Local Character <br /> Trails should seamlessly integrate into the surrounding landscape and reflect the unique <br /> identity of each community they pass through — from rural to urban and everything in <br /> between — to foster a stronger sense of identity and place across Orange County. <br /> Prioritize User Safety <br /> Safety is essential for encouraging trail use. Thoughtful trail design with universal access, <br /> adequate visibility, clear wayfinding, and safe crossings should be at the forefront to keep <br /> pedestrians and cyclists safe and comfortable. <br /> Cultivate Community Wellness <br /> The trail network should help build a happier, healthier community by supporting physical <br /> activity, mental health, and social well-being through opportunities for recreation, <br /> relaxation, and connection with nature. <br /> DRAM�EIXINTY Gensler Orange County Trails Plan I Board of County Commissioners Update <br />
