Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor. If the Bureau of Labor Statistics should cease to publish the Consumer Price Index in its present form and calculated on the present basis, a comparable index or an index reflecting changes in prices determined in a similar manner shall reasonably be designated by the Town in substitution therefore. The Index for any year relevant to the application of this definition shall be that published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for such year. Since a Consumer Price Index relevant to the application of this definition may not be available as of the date on which any adjustment in the $3,500 contribution is to be made, necessary adjustments to such contributions shall be made retroactively, within a reasonable time after required computations can readily be completed. Should LEXPRESS or the Town Transportation Coordinator cease operations, Petitioner agrees that the $3,500 contribution, adjusted for inflation as above, may be used by the Town to implement transportation system improvements in the vicinity of the Property which may include but shall not be limited to those set forth hereafter in Section C.S. 6. Petitioner shall make a contribution of $25,000 to the Town of Lexington to be used by the Town, after consultation with appropriate Boards and Departments, to fund traffic mitigation improvements and /or services that benefit the Property, which may include but shall not be limited to a) a new pedestrian signal and crosswalk on Waltham Street; b) an operating subsidy for LEXPRESS or financial support for the Town Transportation Coordinator; c) improvement of the intersection at Waltham Street and Concord Avenue as outlined in the Transportation Element of the Planning Board's Comprehensive Plan, for example, upgrading the signal equipment to provide protected left turn phases as set forth in the Traffic Impact Study prepared by BSC Group (Appendix 3); 6. Petitioner shall continue to work with Lexington and Waltham officials and other property owners on a plan for the construction of a pedestrian signal and crosswalk on Waltham Street in Lexington or Waltham to promote safer pedestrian access to shopping and services in the vicinity of Waltham Plaza. Petitioner agrees to participate in the funding for construction of the pedestrian signal and crosswalk, provided that Petitioner's funding participation shall be limited to and applied from Petitioner's $25,000 contribution set forth in C.5 above upon the Town's determination that the $25,000 be used for that purpose, and Petitioner's funding participation shall not be deemed a contribution obligation in addition to the $25,000 in C.5 above. D. Conservation Restriction The Owner shall grant to the Conservation Commission of the Town of Lexington a Conservation Restriction pursuant to Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 184, Sections 31, 32 and 33 for that area designated as "Conservation Area" as
