Current Business Review: <br />Report on ACROSS Lexington project <br />Mike presented his comprehensive trail marking system that is intended <br />for all trails in town. He showed a spreadsheet that includes sign <br />descriptions, install methods, marker types, and much more. We had a <br />discussion about what it would actually look like in the field, which was <br />met with general approval.

The Town will also need to approve Mike's plan <br />before giving signage permissions to ACROSS. <br />We need to keep Peggy's bikeway signage group apprised of GCC <br />signage work, and it would be helpful if Peggy could keep us abreast of <br />what her consultant is working on. <br />Further discussion regarding the order in which we need to seek approvals <br />from the Town and the Historic Districts Commission. Deb will look into <br />
