<br />decided to recommend addressing the intersection safety concern by improving signage <br />to advise cyclists to dismount bikes. We decided Abe will write a letter arguing the safety <br />and transportation equity issues and George will draft a petition to collect signatures <br />asking that it be plowed, in case this is needed. <br /> <br />Intersection Problem: Abe reported on the safety problem for bicyclists on the <br />westbound side of Mass Avenue at its intersection with Marrett Road. The problem <br />resulted from the lane striping done by the state to create a left-turn lane there. A motion <br />was approved to bring this problem to the TMG for possible action. <br /> <br />Bikeway Maintenance: Mike, Rich and Stew reported on the recent annual ride with <br />DPW to identify and list Bikeway maintenance problems and issues. The punch list, <br />recorded by Mike Flamang has not yet been issued. DPW told us they plan to install root <br />barriers wherever needed along the entire Bikeway as a first step before repaving the <br />western half. They are considering what other kind of engineering work needs to be done <br />before repaving, such as correcting erosion problems, replacing gates, etc. LBAC <br />recommends the center stripe be repainted along the entire path soon. <br /> <br />Next Boardwalk project: Mike described the next scheduled project on October 11 in <br />Lower Vine Brook conservation area. <br /> <br />Center Connectivity plan: Stew reported on the plan soon to be implemented near the <br />Bikeway adjacent to Station Way and behind the Bank of America building. Stew will <br />email the plan to members and collect comments for forwarding to Susan Yanofsky. <br /> <br />Meeting adjourned. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Record of Friends of Lexington Bikeways discussions. <br /> <br />Treasurer’s Report: Rich reported current balance is $1632.68 <br /> <br />Bike to Market Day: Tuesday October 7, 2008. Stew will assign times. Marita, Stew, <br />Sandra, Rich, John, and George volunteered. <br /> <br />Bumper Stickers: Lexington bumper stickers are in. They cost $64.95 for 50. Marita <br />will attach them to bollards and gates. <br /> <br />Improving Community Outreach/interface: Laurel Carpenter will head up a <br />subcommittee to update our e-mail lists and explore ways of improving our efficiency in <br />communicating. They will look into developing a Lexington Bike Website including a <br />contact management system to keep the site up-to-date. George and Abe will assist. <br /> <br /> <br />
