Greenways Corridor Committee October 11, 2018 Ellen Stone Room, Cary Hall Lexington, Massachusetts Members Present: Mal Crawford, Alex Dohan, Eileen Entin, Don Grant, Bob Hausslein, Susan Kenyon, Keith Ohmart, Mike Tabaczynski Other Attendees: Maria Sagan, citizen interested in learning more about GCC Votes: Minutes of September 20, 2018, meeting: Approved Reports/Updates: • Belmont Country Club property - Keith has been communicating with Carol Kowalski. Per- mission for public access will be part of an MOU (memorandum of understanding) between the town and the developer, but not funds for trail construction. And this all assumes that Town Meeting votes in favor of a zoning change. • QR codes - Bob has been working on finding weatherproof stickers. Need to contact Kathy Santos, as the link currently takes users the brochure rather than the map itself. • Sign post at Clarke School still needs to be put in. Bob will keep after Shawn Newell, needs DigSafe approval. • Route K - Charles Hornig sent Mal the deed for the parcel between 41 and 43 Peacock Farm Rd. This should help resolve the access issue with Sutherland Woods. Mal has spoken with Carol Kowalski, but unsure if Town Counsel has looked at it. When Keith returns from travel he and Mal will check in with Carol and see if we can now install a signpost. • Accessible Trail - Keith has spoken with Michael Martignetti and Victoria Buckley from the Commission on Disability. The Parker Meadow ADA trail is now on the back burner in favor of the larger Willards Woods project. The CPA funds for Parker Meadow were not enough to complete design AND construction. If GCC work with the Commission on Disability, we may be able to garner some funds. A meeting is scheduled for November 5, which Mal will attend. • Bridge School trail boardwalk NOI - Mal has finished up most of it. Keith will check in with Karen Mullins about whether to submit directly, or have Karen do a site visit first. • Annual Report - Keith has written up, on back of Agenda. We should think about planning for the potential Community Center trail. • Don and Keith will replace the post at Lower Vine Brook. Current Business: • None New Business: • Environmental Bond Bill - Susan and Keith visited with state Senator Cindy Friedman, her staff, and some people from Representative Jay Kaufman's office to discuss the Bill. There is an earmark for $1,000,000 for a trail between the Community Center and Lexington High School. This came about because Mark Sandeen contacted Keith about potential projects
