<br /> <br />Hartwell Avenue: <br />Stew reported briefly on the Planning Board discussion about <br />the rezoning of Hartwell Avenue. He has drafted a letter and read the initial <br />version at the Planning Board meeting. He would like to submit a formal position <br />letter from the LBAC; members were asked to review the current draft and <br />provide their feedback. <br /> <br />Other Business: <br />Richard said that he had seen the economic stimulus budget <br />allocations for Massachusetts, and that $3M had been allocated for a Minuteman <br />Bikeway “Arlington-Boston-Somerville” project. Arlington and Waltham also <br />received an allocation for sidewalks. Richard said there would be a second <br />round for shovel-ready projects, with a deadline in August. Members thought it <br />might be appropriate for a Bikeway improvement project based on some of the <br />design ideas that have been discussed (new bollard system, better drainage, <br />new signals and intersection warnings, repaving and other improvements <br />consistent with modern bikeway design). Dave Cannon said that design plans <br />had not yet been drawn up; Peggy and Stew said they would raise this idea with <br />Carl and Bill when they meet. <br /> <br />Laurel asked about the Lexington Gardens proposal and about plans for bicycle <br />accommodation. <br /> <br />The LBAC meeting was adjourned at 7 PM. <br /> <br />Record of Friends of Lexington Bikeways Discussion <br />: <br /> <br />Treasurer’s Report: <br />Rich Spencer reported a current balance of $6,696.32. <br /> <br />Friends Website: <br />No progress to report, said Laurel. Peggy asked members to <br />look at the improvements to the LBAC town website, where some content has <br />been added. <br /> <br />February Newsletter <br />: No progress as yet, said Laurel; she would appreciate <br />receiving some content. <br /> <br />Planning for a First Annual Potluck: <br />Laurel promised to check with churches <br />(Follen and Redeemer) about availability on a weekend night, with dates in late <br /> <br />March or April. <br /> <br /> <br />Members agreed that the meeting was too short to properly address a number of <br />outstanding agenda items. Another February meeting was scheduled for <br />Thursday, February 26, at 7 pm. <br /> <br /> <br />
