Current Business Review: <br />Report on ACROSS Lexin ton proj ect <br />Rick reviewed the informal presentation with the Historic District <br />Commission. The HDC liked the concept and the icon /logo and were <br />supportive overall. A formal presentation will be made at a later date <br />(originally Aug 2, now scheduled for Sept 6). Some discussion of sign <br />frequency. <br />Rick also gave a quick overview of the Conservation Commission version <br />of his powerpoint for 7/24. Mike's universal trail marking plan calls for <br />white arrows on black background for main trail directional signs at <br />intersections, and blue arrows on white background for internal connector <br />trails. Some felt the resulting different uses for the blue & white <br />combinations (ACROSS logo and connector signs) in close proximity <br />could cause misleading visual cues. <br />3. Current Business Updates: <br />Highland Ave/Pelham Road (Bob) — Bob and Tom Whelan will meet with <br />the Armenian Sisters at Youville Place (7/25) to talk about the trail access. <br />It will be a footpath, but the possibility of making it accessible to walkers <br />and wheelchairs was brought up. <br />Wood Street trail improvement (Stew) —Jay Sklar has filed a Request for <br />Determination of Applicability with the Conservation Commission for the <br />Conestoga Rd part of the trail. Lincoln Lab has already put up $2000 and <br />the boardwalk building will be a Stewards project. <br />Diamond Trail project (Stew) — Drew Lepore will be doing the trail <br />cutting in August, presently working out details.
