Votes: <br />• March 26 meeting Minutes - approved <br />• Appointment and charge of ACROSS Lexington Subcommittee — <br />approved* (see attached charge) <br />• April 9 ACROSS Lexington Subcommittee Minutes - approved <br />2. Current Business Review: <br />Report on ACROSS Lexington project (Rick/Alex/Eileen) <br />An Eagle Scout has signed on to build the new trail segment by Diamond <br />Middle School. Stew & Bob will supervise once Mike has laid out the <br />route. To be finished by summer's end. <br />Stew saw Pat Goddard who noted that the ACROSS subcommittee might <br />want to talk with Virginia Johnson who is working on invasives removal <br />and native plantings at Diamond in the area of the trail. Alex will get in <br />touch. <br />Eileen is still waiting on a callback from Karen Mullins re: signage on <br />Conservation lands. She did hear from Nell Walker about the "tree <br />screws" for signs on trees — they are $1.50 /set, 1 set per sign. Mike <br />wondered if that is more than we want to spend. Might depend on info <br />from Conservation, as well as price. <br />Alex, Eileen & Peggy walked the Bikeway portion of the ACROSS Route <br />A to discuss Bikeway appropriate signage. There was some concern about <br />too many signs, but we don't want people to get lost, either. The post at <br />the Parker Meadow entrance was discussed — do we need another post or <br />can we use the existing one. It was agreed that at least one more set of <br />eyes should look at the situation. <br />Rick was away — no update on logo development or funding status or <br />DPW approvals for sign locations. <br />Memorial Day is a hopeful deadline for: Town approvals, final logo <br />decision, funding. <br />Adams Street crossing still needs work. All involved approve the Myrna <br />Rd crosswalk plan, but abutting landowner has been using Town right -of- <br />way for garden — may need some delicate negotiation. Town has right to <br />use land, but we would like permission from abutters, so as not to cause <br />bitterness. <br />Action Item — Alex — contact Virginia Johnson <br />
