Deb, Thank you for sharing the zoom link and reminder for the 6/22 vote. Interest from Lexington, Wayland, Andover, etc seems to be a sign of outside recreational bike groups looking to get access to Lincoln trails and I feel that the Conservation Commission's considering to lower the bar on protecting habitat will negatively impact Lincoln wildlife - I don't think Concord or Weston will in exchange protect trails if we open ours. Lincoln has something special because of the generosity of conservation and hard work of stewardship that came before us, and I wish it could continue. I am sending in another letter on behalf of walkers and wildlife before 6/22 and hope you might, too. If you are interested in seeing my letter please let me know.
Re: Trails Continuance from Lincoln Digest, Vol 117, Issue 20 Hello, all - The June 1 ConComm trails discussion over Zoom was robust and heartening; lots of people showed up and voiced their opinions on the proposed trails regulations. For those who couldn't make it, the ConComm decided to hold off on voting on the regs, and instead to continue the meeting on the evening of this Wednesday, June 22, also over Zoom. You can find the agenda for that meeting here: https://www.lincolntown.org/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Agenda/_06222022-4573 Further discussion and a vote on the trails issue is scheduled for 8:15 pm, and the Zoom link for the meeting is on the agenda, or here: Zoom Meeting Link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/88063247875?pwd=SFJFd1pKcVJZSDFXUDkxdGVyYzBQZz09 or Dial In: 1-646-876-9923 Meeting ID: 880 6324 7875 Passcode: 894034 Written comments on the proposed draft trails policy are a matter of public record; Michelle Grzenda suggested that anyone interested in reading those comments should call or email her or Stacy Carter for the link. (The Conservation Dept. prefers to get individual requests for the link rather than broadcasting it, because private emails are included with the comments). I have read the comments, and think they’re worth the read, as they give a wide range of opinions on trail use in Lincoln. (I noticed that some quite extensive comments came from residents of Lexington, Wayland, Weston, Concord, Belmont and Andover — there’s quite a lot of interest outside Lincoln in Lincoln’s trail policies.) And of course it’s always good to hear the voices and views of others on the ConComm Zoom, and to voice your own. Best, Deb Howe ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Barbara Peskin *My Moments in Nature Photo Gallery: barbarapeskin.com <http://barbarapeskin.com>*
