-$10/ year for the name (probably www.crozettrailscrew.org )
- Updates from “Action Items” from last meeting *
* Mike G- met with Western HS PTO – made good connections, enthusiastic reception, received suggestions of others to get connected with (teams/clubs/organizations) within the school
Brownsville PTO – less enthusiastic about bike/walk to school due to safety and distance issues
Chief of Police is interested in partnering
Crozet Elementary PTO meeting is next week
ACCT?? – look into contacting with respect to liability and partnering; bike rodeo
– IDEA: designated pedestrian bus driver that picks up kids along the way to school
GOOD NEWS: new trail to be built in Old Trail by developer. It will then be given to the County. From Jarmans Gap Road, through the site for Western Park, across Lickinghole Creek, to the schools. Compacted/crushed stone/rock. County is asking CTC to care for/maintain it. Should be built in the next several weeks.
- Discussion of Building (Labor) activities:
-where to build a bridge connector across Lickinghole Creek to Cory Farms – have Eagle Scouts help us; CTC should publicize this bridge and a boardwalk as what fundraisers (5k run,etc) $$ is going to build – community connectors!!!
Look into Clover Lawn Shopping Center & Harris Teeter pay for connector bridge???
-Still need to get more information about easement locations and dedications before we can start clearing trail between West Hall and Western Ridge.
- Discussion of Planning (Logistics) activities:
-CTC Trails day in October – have different locations (merchants) around Crozet that are connected through our trails / sidewalks
-CTC run event (5k)
-May be a good idea to write a support letter to Stonehouse- suggesting that if they do a survey and perfume the first steps, CTC will clear an interim trail until they build the official greenway trail, bridge, and trail signs.
