Ginger Summit, Pathway Committee Vice Chair, noted that Schreiner and the map group's many accomplishments are a great service to the community and they are owed a debt of gratitude. Summit explained that the Committee would like to move to the next phase. Phase 1 has been the documentation of map easements and this task has been undertaken by Schreiner and the map group. Phase 2 consists of matching what easements the Town has with"what is presently on the ground". Phase 3 will be planning the Master Path Map.
