</span>I'm glad to see acceptance that explaining how the world is and giving<br>
permission to use any particular feature are different.<br>
<br>
Colors are tricky. Acton is particularly consistent about yellow loops,<br>
blue internal connecting, and red access from roads. Then one needs to<br>
show unblazed trails (brown?) and permissive and private. Ideally the<br>
non-endorsed trails would have lower visual weight, too. I see that the<br>
Groton map has solid and dashed green, so there red works for private.<br>
But it seems the usual conservation commission map wants to have colored<br>
lines matching the blazes.<br>

<br>
</span>That sounds like it could address the Acton policy concern, by only<br>
rendering trails with an operator tag that matches town-of-acton or<br>
acton-conservation-trust, or whatever is the approved list.<br>
