next round of tax bills. We discussed which map to include in that mailing. Melissa will con- nect GCC with new Minute Man National Historical Park superintendent so we can begin working on getting ACROSS signs on the Battle Road. Nordblum Development Corp is inter- ested in developing a trail from Burlington to the Vine Brook Recreation Trail via Myrna and Carl Roads. We discussed this area when we were creating Route A, but never pursued it. This would also connect to apartments being build behind Wegman’s in Burlington. Shire folks would like a guided walk on Route H - another leader would be good for that event. • Meeting with Melissa Batite and Peter Coleman, director of programming, from Recreation & Community Programs. This was a second meeting. A series of walks are listed in the fall cat- alog - we can list ACROSS walks in the Health & Wellness segment of their website, with a brief description of difficulty and terrain. Susan will gather route info for these one-paragraph descriptions. Christine, the director of the Community Center, likes to have maps on hand. Could we get a large map for the wall there, and at the Library? Charlotte Rogers, in Human Services, is filing an application for Lexington to be listed as an “age-friendly community”. GCC will make a presentation to the Recreation Committee in the fall, and will ask for a new Rec liaison. The Transportation Node at Grain Mill Alley is on hold while the Historical Soci- ety sorts out parking spaces, but the new Visitor Center will open on to the Bikeway as well as the Green. Ongoing Business: • Route J - a successful scouting walk, including Laurel Carpenter, was recently held. There are a number of questions that need to be answered about who actually owns several areas that we hope to use, but the rough outline was agreed upon. See Keith’s notes (attached be- low). Keith will request a meeting with Dave Kucharsky to determine ownership if parcels in question. We will also need to contact homeowners/neighborhood associations where nec- essary. New Business: will be held until next meeting, due to time constraints Pending Items: Garfield St abutter indemnity Seasonal trail maintenance on non-Conservation properties Next Meeting: September 25, 2017, 4:30-6:00pm, Ellen Stone Room Future meeting dates: Oct 23, Nov 27, Dec 18* (Generally 4th Monday, *3rd Monday) Respectfully Submitted by Alexandra Dohan, Secretary
