<br />signs are available from at least one company interested in selling to us, but the signs are very <br />expensive. No decisions were made about how to proceed. <br /> <br />Bicycle committee work: Laurel Carpenter attended to see how we work and talk about a couple <br />of ideas she is interested in. She would like to help get a Bike Committee formed in Waltham, <br />and is interested in Lexington’s model. She has studied Mass Bike’s how-to manual on this. <br />Laurel also spoke about her desire to plan a forum to help bicycle commuters learn how to get <br />started commuting this way. There was interest in the LBAC to participate in this, so a <br />subcommittee will be formed for it. <br /> <br />Request for Bikeway use: The committee approved the request by ResearchILD for a proposed <br />fund-raising walk along the Bikeway on October 5 (rain date of October 12.) The numbers of <br />participants is low (40 people) and the applicant shows appropriate sensitivity about safety while <br />on the Bikeway. <br /> <br />Additional Items: <br />?? <br />Richard Canale reported that the MAPC bike rack reimbursement program will be <br />continued. <br /> <br />Meeting adjourned. <br /> <br /> <br />Record of Friends of Lexington Bikeways votes and discussions. <br /> <br />This meeting preceded the LBAC meeting, and went from 6:30 to 7 PM. <br /> <br />Treasurer’s Report: Rich reported current balance is $1593.68. <br /> <br />Bike to Market Day: Stew reported on the successful event we conducted. Even though <br />the afternoon was riven by two violent thunderstorms, 51 of the $2 coupons were given to <br />that number of bicyclists who used our bike valet service. The remaining 49 coupons can <br />be used at the fall Bike to Market Day we have planned. <br /> <br />Paper Streets: Marita will meet with town officials, starting with the new Building <br />Inspector, regarding paper streets and how they can have public rights-of-way officially <br />and effectively established over them. <br /> <br />th <br />July Trail Count plans <br />: Schedules for Saturday, July 12th, and Tuesday, July 15 are all set. <br />Stew is handling Saturday’s and George is handling Tuesday’s. <br /> <br />Bumper Stickers: <br /> The expenditure of $64.95 was approved for purchase of Minuteman <br />Bikeway bumper stickers that will be suitable for display on gates and bollards, <br />identifying the Lexington stretch of the Bikeway. <br /> <br />Brush clearing on Bikeway: <br /> Peggy, Marita and Stew cleared away overhanging tree <br />branches and encroaching brush in the center area (between Hancock St and the Grant St <br /> <br />
