,S US Mop <br />pQ` 1 775 ` �(3 <br />APRIL 11- <br />k /NG'V <br />... Peggy is preparing a draft of the 350 -word annual town report and will share it <br />with members prior to turning it in. <br />... The Mass Ave Corridor project meeting will conflict with our next meeting; <br />therefore members agreed to postpone November's meeting until November 15. <br />The meeting was adjourned at 7:50 p.m. <br />Record of the Discussions of the Friends of Lexington Bikeways <br />The treasurer reported two large expenditures this month both for the bike corral at <br />the 300 opening ceremonies ($524 to Mass. Bike and $185 for truck rental). <br />Many of us felt unacknowledged by the 300 committee for our efforts that day. <br />We did park over 100 bikes, however. We received a donation of $100 in <br />memory of Phil Dinsky. <br />Patriot's Day Parade: Marita suggested we have a presence in the parade next <br />April. Since many on our committee are also Conservation Stewards, Stew <br />suggested we coordinate with them to have combined participation. Marita will <br />coordinate with Don Grant. <br />Farmer's Market: Bob Hausslein is coordinating volunteers for October 16. <br />Other Business: <br />... Brush clearing and mowing are progressing on the bikeway. If anyone has <br />specific areas of concern contact Bob Hausslein or Stew and they will clear the <br />area. <br />...Abe Benghiat, a junior at LHS, has proposed that Lexington host a bike -to- <br />school week next May, similar to a program that was part of Newton's Bike /Walk <br />Week. In the Newton program, students who walked or rode to school received a <br />stamp in a book that then could be redeemed for merchandize at local stores. <br />Peggy and Abe discussed the idea of having a full -blown Bike /Walk/Bus Week in <br />Lexington that would involve more than the high school activity. Peggy wrote to a <br />number of town staff people for their reaction and is awaiting a response. In order <br />for such a program to be successful, the committee agreed it would be important <br />for the town to endorse and support the concept. <br />... Marita contacted Martha Wood regarding an article about Jerry Van Hook and <br />his contribution to the LBAC over the years. <br />... Richard Spencer reported that the Tri Town Bikeway, Woburn, Winchester, and <br />Stoneham, is slow going but will eventually happen. <br />The meeting was adjourned at 8:25 p.m. <br />Marita Hartshorn, Recorder <br />Peggy Enders, Editor <br />
