We need a couple of people from the committee to volunteer and work offline to flesh this out and then go to DPW and Conservation. Keith asked for volunteers to reach out to him. CLC has been creating interpretive signs for various Conservation properties. Information plaque can be another way to create interest in the routes. The signs cost around $1K to produce with additional monies for design cost and any input required from environmental and other consultants. Destination Information Sign. Magic (MAPC) workshop. No upfront cost. The supplier can produce it for $16 a sign. Signs can be in the perimeter of the town to advise people how far they need to walk to reach their destination in the town center. The new sign can use the ACROSS logo and and provide a simple directional information. We need to specify that destinations are via ACROSS routes. All are encouraged to look at the proposal sent by Keith and send your suggestions to update the proposal before the next meeting. Ongoing Business Brochures: The proposal is to wait until the next meeting after talking to Karen to see if we can receive approval to proceed with installing Route 19. Sentiment is that we will likely need to reprint the present brochure in any event. Keith will send the brochure costs and details to everyone and we can decide at the next meeting. Adopt a section of the Bikeway: Bob’s request: Spring clean cleanup on the bikeway to pick up the trash in late spring was started several years ago. It evolved to include garlic mustard pull and there are 40-50 volunteers now clearing 5-6 miles of the bikeway at one annual spring event. Trying to get someone who adopts a part of the bikeway that shares the path with Across Routes. Bob is looking for volunteers to adopt these parts by people who walk rather than bike to pick up the trash. Contact him if interested. Route signs: It was decided not to use I and O route stickers in the past. The issue is people who take part in the ACROSS Challenge are now looking for the missing letters. It was decided to use the I and O stickers for marking the next two routes. Keith confirmed that we also have letters Q, R and S on hand. Meeting adjourned at 5:25 pm th Next Meeting scheduled for 4-5.30 pm on Feb 8 at the Parker Room. Minutes by Bobak Moshiri
