Map Work update (Alex/Rick) • Maps from Emily Schadler — comparison to Lincoln town Map — with marked trails and markers /signs along trails. Maps — possible funding from historical and tourism sources. Solicit favorite loops from multiple sources, i.e. Stewards, CLC, NEMBA, LHS cross country coaches. ACTION: Rick to draft request for descriptions of routes around town which connect conservation and other open space areas, and handle distribution, collection and analysis of inputs. West Lexington Greenway Master Plan (Keith) • Karen is actively working with VHB to complete the WLG Master Plan with 25% design information by the first week in July. GCC will then need to prepare report for CPC. Drummer Boy /Grove Street trail connection (Alex) • Alex has responded to the citizen request explaining the necessary steps and estimated budget ($1750 +) for constructing the necessary boardwalk structure required. The citizen does not sound interested at this point in actively pursuing this issue. Eventual work to complete various phases of the proposed West Lexington Greenway will incorporate this proposed trail connection. 3. Old Business: Minuteman Connector site walk discussion. Discussion of the two basic design models, i.e. an all season hard surface connection similar to the Minuteman Commuter Bikeway (Plan A) vs. a three season hiking /mountain bike type trail (Plan B). Time did not permit reaching a conclusion of which model to support. Discussion will be placed first on the agenda of the July meeting. CPC funding for possible walking trail (Plan B) would need to be submitted this fall (October/November) Next Meetings: July 18, no August meeting, resume monthly meetings in September. Respectfully submitted, Paul Knight, Secretary
