HOW WE WILL ACHIEVE OUR VISION 255 Implement Actions Identified in the Cary Bike Plan and incorporate the plan into the Move chapter — Anticipated completion 2025. Major Actions: The planning process for the Cary Bike Plan began in ear- ly 2023. The plan's goals are to create a comprehensive multimodal network, identify priority corridors, and fill gaps in Cary's existing bike system. The plan will guide strategic and effective investment in bicycle and mi- cro-mobility infrastructure, ensuring it's safe and conve- nient for all users to move throughout the community. Implement Actions Identified in the Open Space Plan — Anticipated completion 2025. Major Actions: Cary launched the Open Space Master Plan in 2022 in coordination with the Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Resources Master Plan. Through the efforts of strategic land acquisition, natural resource preservation, and de- velopment regulations, a large amount of open space in Cary has been conserved. The plan will develop an inventory of open space land, consider new open space policy, and provide recommendations for prioritization criteria and implementation tools for the management of open space. 4 5 Bond Lake, located within Cary's Fred G. Bond Metro Park, was constructed by Wake County and the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 1972 as a flood-control structure, and is maintained by Wake County. Riparian buffers are vegetated areas adjacent to streams, lakes, or wetlands that are specially managed to help maintain the health of the land and water body. These buffers help to filter nutrients, including nitrogen and phosphorous, carried in stormwater runoff.
