Grain Mill Alley (Peggy) – There will be a meeting October 2 to update the Historic Society on this project, of turning the area next to Bank of America, formerly a roadway, into a parklet. Of the original four plans submitted, two remain. Further discussion will be held later in October. Peggy will continue to follow this. Healthy Communities Grant (Peggy) - $3000.00 was granted for development and printing of ACROSS Lexington maps. The same amount was granted for bikeway maps. The funds need to be used by June 2015. (GCC also has CPA funds for maps, and Rick’s Trust.) Transportation Forum – next meeting, October 15, 9:00am, Selectmen’s Meeting Room. Memorial to Rick Abrams (Keith) – Keith has emailed Joe Pato, Selectboard Chair, and will submit a petition to formally rename ACROSS Lexington the “Rick Abrams Memorial ACROSS Lexington Network”. Bob will read the application at the Selectboard meeting Oct. 20 to make the formal request. Susan Kenyon (Rick’s widow) would like a memorial walk to take place on Route C at some future date. Rick had a stockpile of maps that Susan handed off to Karen Mullins. Eileen will pick them up and take them to the Library and the Visitor Center. Current Business: Present Route C schedule – Don, Eileen, Peggy, Bob and Alex walked Route C on Sept. 26 and flagged post locations. Don kept a numbered chart to keep track of markers needed at each location. We have enough signs to mark the new route. Mike is working on signs that will be used in the Arlington areas, now that Arlington has given us the necessary permissions.
