ACROSS Lexington subcommittee <br />April 9, 2012, Rm 111 Town Hall, 4:30 -5:30 <br />Attending Rick Abrams, Alex Dohan, Eileen Entin, Keith Ohmart <br />Phase 1 Loop <br />Project Notes: <br />1. Cross Walk at Adams & North Street — Stew and Keith walked this on April 2. Stew much prefers <br />the Myrna Road crossing as follows. He offered to attend a follow up meeting with Dave Cannon <br />to review his reasoning and offer his perspective as a Conservation Commissioner and cyclist. <br />• Major concern is that bicycle users coming up the new proposed trail to Westwood from the <br />bike path are going to have limited opportunity to gauge oncoming traffic as they huff and <br />puff up this trail. Also the shoulder of the road is very narrow putting pedestrians and <br />bicyclists too close to vehicular traffic which moves at speed along this stretch of Adams <br />Street <br />• Conservation is going to have issues building a connecting trail to Westwood as a portion of <br />the trail is within a flood plain. <br />• Sight lines at Myrna are superior to Westwood. <br />• We found a granite boundary marker close to North Street on the south side of Adams which <br />indicates that there is likely 10' or more of town property encompassing all of the trees along <br />this stretch of road providing ample surface to create a path to get to Myrna. <br />• Question for Dave Cannon is what is the procedure for the town establishing an unpaved <br />walking path along this section of Adams to Myrna? <br />• Follow up on Keith's return <br />2. Diamond Trail <br />• Bob H /Stew have agreed to manage. Confirm at 4/23/12 GCC meeting; Bob has oversight <br />of needed tools. <br />• Set installation deadline and check in with them as needed. Confirm at 4/23/12 GCC <br />meeting; permissions have been granted, just need to schedule work day. <br />• Engage Pat Goddard's assistance re dealing with developer to remove fence. Rick to follow <br />up <br />3. Conservation approval for sign /post installation. Eileen to follow up <br />• Research source /pricing for stainless steel screw /spring combination from Nell Walker. <br />• Review map of approximate post /sign locations (Keith will prepare) with Conservation staff. <br />Check with Karen Mullins when ready and ask how she would like to handle. Items to discuss <br />include: <br />- Can we use trees to affix signs. Review hardware options. <br />- Can we use existing Conservation posts to affix signs? <br />- Confirm post locations. <br />4. Bike Committee Alex to follow up <br />• Request another meeting with the Committee to: <br />- Confirm locations of signs <br />- Confirm use of Bike Committee posts, sign posts for mounting signs <br />- Confirm installation of one post near entrance to Parker Meadow boardwalk <br />• Prepare map in advance showing sign locations (Keith will prepare) <br />5. DPW Rick to follow up <br />• Confirm parameters for installing sign posts with Bill Hadley <br />
