Greenways Corridor Committee September 26, 2016 Parker Room, Town Office Building Lexington, Massachusetts Members Present: Peggy Enders, Eileen Entin, Don Grant, Bob Hausslein, Susan Kenyon, Keith Ohmart, Mike Tabaczynski Votes: Minutes 6/16/2016: Approved Reports/Updates: - Brochure Distribution: Susan reported that 4 student volunteers distributed brochures over the summer. As of this date about 12,000 brochures (of the 15,000 that were printed) have been distributed. Susan has 4 volunteers to distribute brochures this fall. At this point she has met with two of them. - Grove St.: The builder has submitted plans to the planning board. There are no plans for the Town to purchase the property. No new action on the committee's part is required at present. - MA DOT Right of Way/Montessori School Conservation Restriction: The request for a right of way is moving forward slowly. Carol Kowalski, on behalf of the Town, will submit a formal re- quest to the DOT to use the access road. Mike and Keith will continue to follow this. - DCR Lot 1 Trail Development: Keith and Mike are working with the Brookhaven Nature Com- mittee on an application to DCR to put in a trail. The Conservation Commission will provide a letter of support. - Route G Installation: During the inaugural walk on Route G on Sept 25, we determined that a few additional directional signs would be advisable. Bob will take care of these. Mike will ad- just the Route G map to concur with the signed path through Lower Vine Brook. - Shire Trail Update: Final construction will occur on Oct 7 with the help of a corporate group from Shire. This trail could be linked to the new development on Lincoln St. abutting the Cam- bridge Watershed property and Cranberry Hill. The committee will discuss the possibility of a new route in this area at a future meeting. - Route B around Clarke Middle School: Eileen reported that because of the construction go- ing on at Clarke, we need to provide a different way to get from Brookside to the entrance to Dunback Meadows. Bob and Eileen will look at the options and install temporary signs. Keith will check the A route at Diamond, which is also undergoing significant construction, to see if any temporary route modifications are required. Ongoing: - Route F extension/Minuteman National Park trail signs. Keith will contact John Livsey to set up a meeting to discuss possible ways to get across Rte 2A in light of any possible Town plans for improvements around Old Mass Ave/Rte 2A.
