RECEIVED 2022 '"12 Alp in°, 143 Ip m Greenways Corridor Committee Final Minutes TOWN CL,ERK 3 March 2022 4:30 to 6:05 pm via Zoom Conference LEXINGTON Members Present: Mal Crawford, Alex Dohan, Peggy Enders, Bob Hausslein, Bobak Moshiri, Keith Ohmart (chair), Stephen Perkins, Mike Tabaczynski Members Absent: Eileen Entin Other Attendees: Mark Sandeen (Select Board liaison), Susan Kenyon Meeting Minutes of Feb 3, 202 approved unanimously. Reports/Updates Parker Meadow trail closure — Route A Construction has begun at Parker Meadow. Keith has installed temporary route markers — along bikeway and Revere to Hancock. The wayfinding sign was removed for construction access. Keith to ask Conservation for permission to relocate it nearby. Bike/Walk to School Day — May 4 Anyone interested in being a volunteer "guide" should contact Keith. Burlington ACROSS sign approval in Landlocked Forest Update Mike reported on delays in getting before the Burlington Selectmen. Another project, with its own complications, is ahead of us in the queue. Mike recommended not pushing at this time. So "Route 4" (on Mike's planning map) as previously envisioned going through the Landlocked Forest cannot work at this time. Discussed options of using local streets (Turning Mill to Gould to Grove) or posting route signs right up to the town boundary and leaving it to users to find the other end or using the town boundary as a bypass. All of these are suboptimal and would require additional field recon. Agreement that we cannot resolve this before the next edition of the brochure and should keep the brochure update moving ahead. There was a brief discussion of the timing for "Route 5" — it will probably be a couple of years before it can be completed given the pending redevelopment of the BSC site. Future routes will be further discussed at the April meeting. WalkMassachusetts Network Report Peggy participated in a Feb 16th meeting. WMA is an offshoot of WalkBoston which is looking to expand outward. Affiliates in Arlington, Medford and Fall River made presentations. Peggy sees this as a good opportunity to learn from other communities with interest in walking for transportation. [Side note: WalkBoston's
