Our second meeting:  New Borough Hall at 7:60 on January 13, 2014

First Topic: Committee Needs and Organization:

1. Derek is chair
2. Lori is secretary
3. Should we meet second Mondays of the month?

Second Topic: Covered Bridge Park and Bike Trail

1. Chris Standford will share - The Borough received a grant in the amount of $150,000 to put a trail/sidewalk from Tamenend Ave. to Pine Run School along Butler Avenue.  Chris wants to discuss options for this grant, so that a decision could be made for the best use of the money.  

Third Topic: Orchard Park

2. Update from Tess

Fourth Topic: Trail to Pine Run from Tamenend Ave

3. Would also like the pedestrian/ bike bridge built as far away from the Covered Bridge as it can be safely engineered, and within budgetary constraints.
4. Would like to have a copy of the bike/hike survey’s exact route through the park made available to the public on the Borough and N.B.C.A. websites
5. Is there a budget for upkeep of the trail/path in the event it becomes damaged or is in need of repair?  Who would pay for that?
6. How easements are obtained?  How and when people are alerted if there is a path going in on their land?
7. Civic

• What is Civic’s liability is for insurance?
• What the path is going to cost the Civic Association?

8. Will our bathrooms be able to handle the traffic?  Do we have plans to improve them?  If we think bathrooms or something else is necessary, as a result of the trail, who takes care of that...Civic Association or Parks and Recreation?
