Meeting. • GCC needs to have relationship (liaison) with Sidewalk Comm/Safe Routes to School, Traffic Safety Advisory Comm. • Need to work with Conservation, Recreation, Bikeway, Historic District Commission or signage. • Explanation of proposed signage, discussion about logo design with Sean Hagan's early designs.General approval of the color (blue),needs a dominant graphic element. Rick will keep working with Sean. • Discussion about signage system— Mike is working on; system needs to be simple and consistent. Will be combination of logo, directional arrow, route "name" (letter ?) — perhaps more info at confusing junctions. Sign vendor in Waltham has inexpensive signs that are low- maintenance and vandal- resistant. • While our priority is getting Route A up and running, we should also consider future signage, including trail markers on Conservation properties. • Conservation Commission has approved the trail re- routing at Diamond M. S. This is a possible Scout project. The Stewards will manage it; Stew and Bob will oversee with Mike's advice.
