,S US Mop pQ` 1 775 ` �(3 APRIL 11- k /NG'V Voters of Lexington. Although we endorse the concept, we decided not to be an active participant at this time due to limited resources. Peggy and Richard attended a 3 -hour Complete Streets workshop in Watertown presented by Bay State Roads and MassDOT. At this time John Livsey is looking into offering the workshop in Lexington -- in the three- and six -hour forms -- here to provide town staff and citizens an opportunity to understand the concept of complete streets. Jerry Van Hook agreed to write a paragraph for the Lexington Minuteman to answer a question about which side of the bike path walkers should be on and why. Stew will help edit the response; it will be submitted on behalf of both the Sidewalk Committee and LBAC. The meeting was adjourned at 8:08 pm. Record of the Discussion of the Friends of Lexington Bikeways: The treasurer reported an expense of $100 toward the 100 $2 coupons given at the Farmers' Market (the Farmers' Market contributes the other $100). A report of the two rides on May 19 was sent to the Town Manager and the Board of Selectmen. These rides were led by Laurel and Stew. This year we collected about 90 bikes for Bikes Not Bombs. Although the collection is decreasing each year, Marita felt it important to sponsor Bike Donation Day on a regular basis so citizens can count on it. The Ride Cafe is providing maintenance support for the MassBike Ride on July 28 The next bike corral at the Farmers Market is July 10. Laurel offered to work from 5:00 to 6:00 that afternoon. Other business: Patria reported on a Bikewell 40 mile ride in Lincoln with lunch. The meeting adjourned 8:45 p.m. Marita Hartshorn: Recorder Peggy Enders: Editor
