While the project has <br />largely stood the test of time, some markers are missing, some require replacement and <br />all eventually need to be remounted. The proposal also includes a modest expansion of <br />signage, particularly in Lexington Center. <br /> <br />The Committee briefly discussed several aspects of the project, including the type of <br />material proposed for the new signage and placement of the new signs. Ms. Bennett <br />also confirmed that the signage would be consistent with existing directional signage. <br />After a motion duly made and seconded, the CPC voted, 9-0, to recommend the project <br />to Town Meeting. <br /> <br />2)Community Center Sidewalk- Mr. Pinsonneault and Mr. Livsey discussed the proposed <br /> <br />Community Center sidewalk request which would provide construction funds for a <br />sidewalk on the Community Center property. $200,000 was provided as an estimate but <br />the exact cost, location and design had not yet been determined. Mr. Pinsonneault <br />explained that the project involves working with the adjacent Scottish Rite. To-date, a <br />tentative agreement regarding the location of the sidewalk had been reached. Mr. <br />Pinsonneault and Mr. Livsey explained that they expect the project will be ready for <br />1 <br /> <br /> <br />
