The County of Orange is developing an Active Transportation Plan (ATP) that will establish a vision and a roadmap for implementing pedestrian and bicyclist facilities within the County’s unincorporated communities.
Provide Your Input on Walking & Bicycling Facilities in Your Area
With that said, we want to hear your input! By planning a safe and convenient network of these pedestrian and bicyclist facilities, our goal is to connect more people with jobs, goods, services and public transit networks without the use of a car, thereby improving public health, and reducing environmental impacts from vehicle miles traveled and greenhouse gas emissions.
What we’re planning:
· To support these efforts, OC Public Works will be hosting a series of online “virtual walk audits” in the unincorporated communities in order to assess walking and biking conditions.
· This will consist of an online meeting with OC Public Works staff to view maps of your community and assess opportunities for pedestrian and bicyclist facilities.How you can help:
· We invite you and/or representatives of your organization to participate in the virtual walk audit in your area and provide input on what types of improvements you would like to see.
· Each virtual walk audit will include “stops” at various locations in which participants can discuss barriers to mobility, and help our team understand preferred improvements.
· Share with others: We encourage you to share this opportunity to provide input with others in your organization and with residents in your community. We want to hear from you and others in your community.When:
· All virtual walk audits will be hosted from 6-7pm
