A lead steward recommended modifying or rerouting the trail entrance off Tarbell Avenue because it has a steep slope that becomes dangerous in wet and icy conditions. Mr. Bitsko noted that the topography for the proposed relocation looks the same as for the existing. Ms. Carr responded that the slope of the proposed trail is gentler than what it appears to be on the topo plan. Stewards will install signage to demarcate the relocated trail, and clear any leaf litter so the path is more apparent and will become established over time, without the need for any maintenance by the Department of Public Works (DPW). Ms. Carr stated that she would like a quorum of the Commission to see the trail entrance before deciding on the closure of the existing trail off Tarbell Avenue.
