<br />Record of Friends of Lexington Bikeways votes and discussions. <br /> <br />Treasurer’s Report <br />: Balance unchanged at $2,031.30. <br /> <br /> <br />MAPC Bike Rack Program: <br /> Marita reported on the status of Lexington’s application <br />for these free bike racks. Dave Pinsonneault is coordinating the application and is <br />combining our recommendations with those from the Recreation Department. <br />Lexington’s cap will be approximately $7000 worth of racks. So far the need for $5817 <br />worth has been identified. A problem will be how to pay for the racks up-front. (MAPC <br />reimburses the Town’s cost after they have been installed.) The Rec Department reports <br />they have no funds available. The Blossom Fund has been suggested as a possible source. <br /> <br />Newsletter Mailing: <br />Not yet done. <br /> <br />Spring Cleanup: <br />Saturday, May 5, between 9 am and noon, was confirmed as date and <br />time for the spring cleanup of the Bikeway. Stew reported that the Arlington Friends of <br />the Bikeway intend to do their cleanup at the same time as ours again this year (the <br />coordinator in Arlington is Ron Sender); and all four Starbucks stores in the two towns <br />(two in each town) intend to join us. They plan to do a better job in advertising and <br />coordinating their efforts this year. Stew will be meeting with the Starbucks managers <br /> <br />and Ron Sender to help coordinate. <br /> <br />Lexington GWAC offer for discussion: <br /> It was agreed that rather than have GWAC <br />come and do their presentation at one of our meetings, we find out when the presentation <br /> <br />will be made at other venues that we can attend individually.Stew will contact GWAC <br />with that decision. <br /> <br />Other Business: <br />Harvey announced that the Historical Society has accepted our offer <br />for the loan of Marita’s collection of railroad depot photos with delight and has planned a <br />display around it. <br /> <br />Abe announced he had finally heard back from Steve Kropper about the repair of the <br />bridge at Clarke School. Unfortunately, it appears that the project still seems to be <br />dormant. <br /> <br />Meeting adjourned at 9:06 PM. <br /> <br />Information Distributed: <br />Draft minutes from January 2007 meeting <br />Draft minutes from February 2007 meeting <br /> <br />March 5, 2007ltr from S.
