The options are available for viewing at <br />the DPW website as well as on easels in the DPW building. <br />Moving Together Conference: In October MassDOT announced the goal of <br />tripling the share of travel in Massachusetts by bicycling, transit and walking. <br />Moving Together is the annual statewide walking and bicycling conference, and <br />this year's theme was "Mode Shift to a Healthier State." Laurel Carpenter attended <br />and reported this year's conference was especially useful and energized by the <br />recent announcement. It was well- attended by city and town planners, engineers, <br />and DPW representatives from area towns. We hope to encourage more <br />Lexington representation for the 2013 conference. Laurel attended workshops on <br />"Shifting Modes with Complete Streets," "Making Mode Shift Safer with <br />Innovation," and "Current Bicycle Design Guidance."
