New Business: • Review Goal Evolution Summary (provided in call to meeting): In the discussion about "Ongoing/Future"ACROSS Lexington activities, members suggested: • "Collaborate with other committees, including the Bicycle Advisory Committee, and with town staff in Recreation and the Transportation Safety Group, as advocates for a more walkable and bikeable community." • "Establish mechanism to ensure ongoing maintenance of the ACROSS trail system." • Promote ACROSS Lexington system (social media project manager) • Reorder bullet points — group together the "on-going" and "future" tasks . • Review Future Trail Project Spreadsheet: • Wayfinding Signs: Small You Are Here signs in relation to larger town map to be posted across town as locator signs. Funding from ACROSS Lexington Trust. Mike shared Western Greenway example, 18x24. Estimate of about 16 needed. Suggestion that QR code be included to point to map or app (or both). Mike will make prototype for November meeting. Susan said she would like a transition to apps and QR codes to replace paper maps. • Concord Ave/Brookhaven Connector: Land management plan needs to be created for the Concord Ave Conservation property before trail development can be approved by Conservation. Need estimate of costs. Keith suggested a third party could fund this expense. Keith asked Alex to talk with Karen about whether this would be acceptable. Mike displayed map of Beaver Brook North and conservation areas in question; a challenging project that needs a manager. Keith: two financial pieces are involved for the DCR property piece — creating a crossing to build an earthen causeway (Brookhaven ready to fund that); preparing necessary permit to do any or all pieces on the table (would require wetland scientist). • Review Project Leader Proposal: goal is take burden off of usual suspects.
