Votes: Minutes of March 22, 2018, meeting: Approved Reports/Updates: • It was agreed to move the May meeting from the 17th to the 21st. • The Hayden Woods boardwalk is moving along well. • Lot 1/DCR - Mike is seeking a wetland surveyor. • Pelham Rd trail connection - nothing new. We need to keep pushing on this. • Arlington Reservoir project - Keith and Bob went to the public meeting. • Proposed ACROSS Routes task group - Keith has updated the spreadsheet of trails and it's time to meet with Karen again. Keith, Mike, Eileen, & Alex met to refine & define the project so Karen can put it into her budget request. Will meet before Keith goes off for the summer. • A new Lexington Public Schools superintendent will be starting this summer. We should con- nect with that person to apprise them of our work, and also the School Committee, for an up- date. Keith and Susan have an appointment to meet with the Recreation Dept. Mal has spo- ken with the Bridge Sch principal and the Building Group. Probably also time to be in touch with Engineering again, and the Traffic Safety Committee. • Spring Route repairs - everything in pretty good shape at the moment. Current Business: • Route J/K was discussed. Much conversation about the "Yellow" and the "Red" segments. The Yellow route will become Route J, and the Red route will become Route K. Will go be- fore ConCom to request permission for signage on Conservation properties. The trail through West Farm will stay well above Wilson Farm, to avoid issues of just which property the lower trail crosses. We will use the Ellen Dana Court path, and check where the crosswalks are. Next step is to mark post locations - think about this if you walk the routes. Need someone to coordinate the post installation and sign mounting. New Business: • Select Board goal-setting memo - Keith will update last year's memo and indicate priorities for the coming year. • The Grove St development trail is something for us to keep an eye on, and the Landlocked Forest connection. We will discuss this when we meet with Karen to discuss future routes. Mike will talk with Aaron Henry.
