MINUTES Greenways Corridor Sub - Committee June 11, 4:30 -5:30 Ellen Stone Room, Cary Hall Members Present Rick Abrams, Alex Dohan, Eileen Entin, KeithOhmart Guest: Betsy Sarles, logo designer 1. Logo Presentation- Betsy Sarles who is designing the logo for ACROSS Lexington joined us for a discussion of the work she has done. We liked each of the concepts presented but decided to focus on "tricorn" hat version. Next steps will be for Betsy to do additional iterations and move the text, possibly use other fonts, change the hat slightly and add color. We discussed a white background with the text and hat being in blue. She will get us something a week from tonight so that we can review before Alex goes away. The final version will be presented at the next GCC meeting. a. Betsy offered to photoshop the ACROSS Lexington logo on posts, trees, etc. on the bike path to help people visualize what it will look like. Rick will also ask Betsy if she can do this in other areas. See #3 below for presentation needs. 2. Adams to North street crossing- we reviewed the image that Dave Canon sent to us and we look forward to the implementation. Adams Street will be repaved in the near future and the crosswalk and the wheelchair pad(s) will be created at that time. We will ask the Stewards to schedule the creation of the path from the bikeway to Adams street. a. We will ask Dave for a a multi -year road paving plan so that we can plan for additional crosswalks even if the specific ACROSS Lexington routes are not yet done. The costs are negligible if done when road worktakes place. 3. Conservation Commission on July 24 -Keith passed out a revised budget and will also email it to us. The total is slightly more than the previous budget but is still under $1,000. We briefly discussed Mike's Marking and Sign Plan and jumped to the second to the last page since it contains the list of possible signs on the route. a. Rick and Jay Sklar (who volunteered at the Stewards meeting to help) will work on the images. Keith thinks that a subset of the 17 various signs will be sufficient. See La. above. Perhaps Betsy will help with all of the signage exaples. b. Rick will create the presentation and lead it off. It will be simple and contain the summary budget (not the detail) and the marking plan will be an appendix. Mike will co- present and answerquestions about the plan. c. Assuming we get approval on July 24 we will work with Karen shortly after to identify the final locations of signage. d. We will plan to order the signage after this sign -off.
