The Greenway Committee has developed a Pilot Route of 5.5 miles that connects five conservation areas, two schools and Lexington Center. The committee has also developed signage for the route, which cost $1,000 and was funded by the Town, including a URL on the sign that will be linked to the Town web site. According to Rick Abrams, DPW was very helpful in assisting with the placement of signs, as was the Conservation assistant and G1S coordinator in preparing maps and other documents for the Pilot Program. 1625 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE ° LEXINGTON MASSACHUSETTS 02420
