Motivating the community to get outdoors, walk, bike, and come together was key to building the healthiest • in the Nation. To realize this goal, a year -long process to create a dynamic regional trail system that engages the West Orange community through the activation of wellness hubs along well -designed trail facilities was launched. WOHD solicited the assistance of the City of Ocoee Development Services Department's internal design studio to assist WOHD with the work effort required to develop the Healthy West Orange Trails Initiative, which includes a Regional Trails Map. HEALTHY WEST ORANGE TRAILS INITIATIVE - 111111 61" � 1.2 Planning Process A work plan was prepared and the initiative got underway in June of 2020. One of the first tasks undertaken was to establish a working committee comprised of representatives from local municipalities, Oakland, Winter Garden, Ocoee, Windermere, Gotha Rural Settlement, Orange County and the City of Apopka. The CEO of the WOHD, Tracy Swanson personally requested these agencies to designate representatives to participate in the development of a trails' activation plan. Each of these agencies were requested to submit comprehensive and detailed lans with robust data. In addition to the ac encies reoresentatives from MetroPlan Orlando Bike/Walk Data Collection: The following information, if available, was requested from each agency: • Level of Service (LOS) for trails • Trails master plan • Existing trails inventory (on -road and off -road) maps, along with GIS data • Information regarding amenities located on each trail (i.e., trailheads, rest areas, water, restrooms) • List of planned trail improvements • Provide the location of any planned trail and trail amenities, including implementation time frame and estimated costs • Existing park inventory • Information regarding any fitness equipment or internal trails or walking paths currently used for exercise at their facilities • Existing inventory of sidewalk or paths, along with GIS data • Information on programs or special events held adjacent to or along trails managed by their agency • Identify existing programs or events held in other locations that could be easily modified to be offered as part of the Trails Activation Plan • Annual budget for maintaining trails • Marketing/informational materials related to trails or fitness/wellness trails (i.e., maps, brochures, apps). From this information a data assessment report was completed and a "Base Map" created that identified all the trails, trail facilities, parks and places of interest throughout the WOHD service area. zm�� PAR BIL-10111111111111 OL-JUH,"J"U", Eli 1 1000 0 1 11111111 HEALTHY WEST ORANGE TRAILS INMAT� VE \m\--�i'-' J, PJ11-M171JftM1MT.=* Trails activation is not just about increasing usage on a specific trail, it's about increasing the diversity of users and the ability to use activation facilities, programs, and events to address and enhance community health. Activation can be achieved by the addition of facilities such as fitness equipment, playgrounds, wellness stations, nature observation stations, and interactive elements; in addition, conducting programming and special events that encourage people to use local trails to improve their overall fitness is very effective for not only addressing health issues but increasing the awareness and comfort level of people to return on their own. Part Two of this Report addresses how trail activation can assist in improving the health and wellbeing of residents of West Orange County. Findinas include: Commuting time less than 30 minutes correlates to a healthier area. • Higher access to public parks lowers projected rates of chronic diseases. Accessibility to cultural, food, and shopping destinations can correlate to better health outcomes. -XIM-MUMBUTZ-F1 M-1 Demographics also can correlate to health concerns such as areas that have an aging population tend to have higher rates of chronic disease, as well as, an area that has a high number of its population that has no higher than a high school education, the higher the incidence of chronic disease.

In fact, people that own dogs are usually healthier due to the need to walk and exercise their dogs. Make sure that rest areas and trail stations have dog water stations and pet waste stations. A dog park can also be located in close proximity to a trail. 0 Parking: Parking is usually only provided at trail stations/trai I heads. Develop parking areas based on trail capacity numbers. These activation facilities were identified by the Healthy West Orange Trails Initiative's Working Committee and others during the planning process. It is important to note that if a type of facility is not identified in this list, it doesn't mean it can't be done. Local agencies should work together to update and refine this list on an annual basis. When planning, designing, and implementing activation facilities and trails, the following should To help people navigate the trails and our surrounding communities, wayfinding signage should be located throughout the trail network, as well as, in each municipality. Wayfinding signs allow people to explore without their phones, for them to meander along the trail and discover new and interesting things (mental health). Enhance the landscape along trails to create safe corridors and improve overall community aesthetics. Do not plant ornamentals/exotics in natural areas. Go native whenever and wherever possible. Make sure there is plenty of tree canopy for shade. o Use Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles and strategies when designing new facilities, including trails, parks, connections, etc. • Increase visibility, maintenance, and management to decrease the perception of unsafe conditions.

This type of program will increase awareness and support of local businesses. Healthy West Orange did a great job with their virtual 5K program held in the fall of 2020 instead of their normal 5K to address social distancing concerns due to COVID. In January 2021 they held Westly's 4th Annual 5k virtually as well. This community challenge requires the participant to complete 3.1 miles over a month period, at their own pace. People were encouraged to use the West Orange Trail and Oakland Nature Preserve; however, it didn't matter as long as people met the 3.1 -mile rule.

Therefore, it is recommended that one of the on -going tasks to be undertaken is to build a short-, mid- and long-term capital plan for all projects. Alternative funding sources should be identified and applied for in order to leverage available funding from local agencies and the WOHD/Foundation for a Healthier West Orange. The Healthy West Orange Regional Trails Map should be updated on an annual basis to change the future trails and activation sites/facilities, once constructed or activated, to existing trails and if new trails or facilities are identified they should be added as well.

It is through this collaboration, a regional approach to trails planning that focuses on improving overall community health in West Orange County was drafted. For the Trails Initiative to be realized, it is imperative that the Partnering Agencies continue to collaborate with one another on an ongoing and regular basis. Furthermore, it is as important that the Supporting Agencies, especially Orange County, continue to be involved in order to properly implement trail activation ideas, projects, programs, and events. The following recommendations are meant to be advisory in nature. HEALTHY WEST ORANGE TRAILS INMATl1111 11- 111 11,11111 \,\---- 61 1 in" i�oim VE ENGAGE: Increase trail engagement to meet physical, social, and mental well-being needs of West Orange County through programs, events, and activation facilities guided by data and trends. • Following Health Trends: When planning and implementing trail activation facilities, events, and programs, Partnering and Supporting agencies should do so based on readily available health data and trends. This data can be obtained through a collaboration with Florida Health Department -Orange County, through local hospitals, and through groups including, but not limited to, the Central Florida Regional Planning Council, MetroPlan Orlando, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and Polis Institute. • Targeting Health Through Activation: Integration of trail activation facilities into trails, pathways, and parks aimed at increasing overall activity, will create a positive impact on the health of children, families, and residents within West Orange. Partnering Agencies will be encouraged to locate, build, maintain, and manage activation facilities and programs that are geared to different age groups and abilities. The Trails Committee should review and update, if necessary, the list of activation facilities and programs and ideas contained within the Initiative's report on an annual basis. • Recreational Programs & Events Geared to Improving Community Health: Collaboration is needed with and between local parks and recreation departments to develop and implement special events and programs geared to improving community health through the use of local trails, related activation facilities, and adjacent parks or public venues. Harnessing Public Comment: Policies, procedures, and data collection mechanisms, such as workshops and surveys, will be used to collect public opinion in order to improve local activation facilities, programs, and special events. Effl-DINCE: Ensure trails are attractive, comfortable, safe, and accessible. o Guiding Facility Activation: Formation of a subcommittee to work with local trails and recreation facility providers to develop resource(s) for the planning, design, and maintenance of trails and activation facilities within the West Orange Healthcare District. 0 Partnering agencies will be encouraged to use design/development guidelines/standards wh implementing trails and activation facilities. I 0 Those agencies that have adopted such guidelines/standards will be encouraged to share them wilm the "Guidelines Subcommittee". The intent of this step is to increase awareness of trail and activati facility guidelines/standards.
