Current Business Review : Potential Route E was walked recently by Peggy, Bob, Richard, and Bill Hadley • and Dave Pinsonneault of the Town staff. It looks like it needs 32 signs and 9 posts. Richard would like us to take advantage of existing easements, particularly the easement off Martingale and Fremont, and the area known as the Fremont Street Playground. For this route it would be nice if we could put some signage on the federal MMNHP land. Richard can help us get permission for this. We discussed possible wording for the terminus sign on spur routes, so route us- • ers will know when they are leaving the ACROSS route system. The connection from Route B to Meagherville still needs to be finalized. There is • some concern about traffic and safety on Hastings Rd. We can go forward with Route E and hold off on the spur for a while. The MAPC (Metropolitan Area Planning Commission) is impressed with ACROSS • and wants to come take a look. Visitors will come on Thursday, October 8. More details will be forthcoming. New Business: Gil Bengiat and his son Elias presented an idea for a patch/award system for • ACROSS routes, similar to that for those who climb all the 4000-footers of the White Mountains. If you finish all the ACROSS routes and/or visit all the Town con- servation properties you could get a patch and a certificate. This is a project that might also involve the CLC (Citizens for Lexington Conservation) and the Conser- vation Stewards. Gil will speak with Bob regarding which conservation lands would be appropriate for this project and then come to the September meeting to let us know how the plan has developed. This is something that might appropriately be maintained by a Friends of ACROSS group.
