CPA funds may be spent on materials for signage. Keith has updated our Route Planning Outline to list the most likely routes at the top and has made a map of proposed future routes. We have approximately 29 miles of ideas. Tom Whelan will coordinate the Shire Trail Planning, now that the easement has been passed and signed. Various documents have been placed in Dropbox for easy access by all GCC members and for Archiving. Try to get out to go over some of the routes for discussion at our May 4 meeting, especially the Bikeway to Battle Road route. Can we get it to go easily by the Hayden Recreation Centre? The Rick Abrams Memorial event will be held on June 14. There will be a Route B walk and a dedication ceremony. A site has been proposed for a bench in his memory at Dunback Meadow. We reviewed the Criteria List of 6 elements and refined the definitions. These will be used as we review proposed routes. As Jordan McCarron and Karen Mullins work with the Conservation Stewards to plan the 2015 work list, it would be helpful for them to know which routes we will be developing. The Bikeway-to-Battle Road appears to be the most feasible. There is an easement between Martingale and Fremont, thought a trail needs to be built. Further south, the Cranberry Hill trail needs re-building and buckthorn clearing. We should probably develop a protocol for creating/building a route. This will be useful as we work forward on the next routes.
