The committee agreed to monitor the plowing after each storm and to communicate with Dave if there are adjustments to suggest. Dave agreed to email Peggy when the Bikeway is ready to be cleared. Members volunteered to monitor sections of the Bikeway as follows: Laurel: Bow Street to Waldorf area; George: Waldorf area to Maple; John: Maple to Woburn; Jerry: Woburn to Hancock; Stew: Hancock to Bedford; Peggy: Bedford to Hartwell and beyond. Jerry pointed out that there are 62 or more miles of sidewalks in Lexington, and Dave said that four sidewalk plowers have seven different routes, and that they plow at the rate of about 4-8 mph. The committee discussed Tom Fortmann’s e-mail suggestion about plowing only one 48-inch width and agreed that it had decided against this option in earlier discussions. Peggy will respond to Tom. Dave stated that the Bikeway would be striped as soon as the paint comes in and on the first good day weather-wise. He will also install the bike rack donated by Jerry Slack in the designated space. John Frey will send him the installation diagram, and Marita will give him the brass plaque and “No Biking on Center Sidewalks” plaque. Fog Line/Bike Lane Subcommittee Update: Richard Canale distributed letters from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board and a letter from the Regional Transportation Advisory Council, both addressing the need for street design to accommodate all modes of transport -- walking, cycling, as well as automobile. Richard recommended that members familiarize themselves with some of the data and recommendations in the 2008 Mass Highway design manual – i.e., Chapter 16 on Traffic Calming and Traffic Management and Chapter 5, Exhibit 5-6, “Summary of Multi-modal Accommodation Options” which may be very helpful as the argument is made for improving striping and fog lanes on major town streets and roads.. The committee discussed the importance of meeting with the new Town Engineer soon after he begins working in early January. Richard Canale suggested we set priorities for those streets that are most dangerous to cyclists, keeping the reconstruction plans of these streets in mind as we do so. The game is changing, he said; “straight-wide-fast doesn’t work.” We may also be able to weigh in on how mitigation money is spent when a developer requests building permits from the town. Jerry reported that the town soon will have available on computer new aerial survey data for on-screen measurement of the width of all the streets that are candidates for side striping. Currently, these data are taken from maps that are dated and need checking, as roadway width can change with rebuilding and resurfacing projects. Wayne Brooks has the list of candidate
