completed. Two temporary trail routes were suggested to provide a connection between the Land Locked Forest and Grove Street. One suggestion was a route using the easement from Wright Farm to Jefferson Drive and Jefferson Drive to reach Grove Street. The second suggestion was to route the trail along the eastern boundary of the Wright Farm property. GCC member Alex Dohan will bring the matter of temporary trail routings up at the next meeting of the Wright Farm planning group. • Concord Avenue - Brookhaven Loop Project The GCC is currently seeking direction from the Town Conservation Commission and Conservation Dept. on the best way to proceed in planning for a new trail from Concord Avenue to the Dept. of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) Beaver Brook North and Brookhaven residential properties. A land management plan for the Town Conservation property on Concord Avenue is needed and private funding from the Judy Record Trust may be available to contract out this work. Planning for this project has been complicated by non-permitted trail construction work done by residents of an abutting property. • ACROSS Lexington 10th Anniversary Celebration The GCC is considering possible ways the celebrate the 10th anniversary of the ACROSS Lexington trail system. GCC member Bob Hausslein has mapped out marathon length (26.2 miles/42.2 km) and half marathon length (13.1 miles/21.1 km) courses using ACROSS Lexington routes that could be used as part of the celebration. The tentative date for the celebration would be Fall 2021 if permitted by COVID pandemic restrictions. • ACROSS Lexington History Project Local resident Larry McCray has created a history of the ACROSS Lexington trail network based on the last ten years of GCC meeting minutes available on the Town website. How to use the history as part of the 10th Anniversary Celebration is being considered by the GCC. • Approval of a Motion to Adjourn All nine Committee members present voted in favor of adjourning the Meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 6:02 PM EST. Respectfully submitted by, Mal Crawford, GCC Member Rev. 1 2 March 2021 3
