veloper to develop a trail that goes from the Route 2 Ramp to the property. There are al- ready social trails that could be improved from the property along the ramp berm. This would connect to an existing old road bed extending from Pleasant Street to the on ramp. Ideally the trail would be bicycle as well as foot usable. The Town will need easements from Mass DOT and MWRA. There will also need to be funds set aside for mowing several times a season. The next Planning Board hearings on this are scheduled for Aug 30 and Sept 12. In the interim, we can estimate the distance for construction and mowing of the right of way, and the funding that would be needed for those purposes. It was noted that the trails would facilitate an easier connection to the 76 Bus. Mike, Keith and Don will be pulling together a detailed proposal. • 114 Wood St. The owner wants to subdivide the property. The Planning Board has already notified the owner that the Town will need to receive an easement for the West Lexington Greenway pathway as part of the consideration for this application • Accessible Trail Identification. We will request Karen set up a joint meeting with representa- tives from both GCC and the Commission on Disability regarding progress on completing the RFP for the Parker Meadow Accessible Trail. We can look at the ACROSS trails in terms of accessibility for the disabled, but we need to work with the Commission on Disability, as they are the ones who are knowledgeable about this. It was suggested we invite a representa- tives from the Commission to come to our next ACROSS meeting to discuss this.
