Greenway 100 and its potential for underwriting Bikeway widening (Richard Canale). The committee felt that any discussion about e-bikes should be undertaken only if someone is prepared to do some homework that makes it an informed and useful discussion. The committee expressed no interest in talking about other topics on the list provided, including nighttime hours on the Bikeway. Greenbelt Walk: Laurel Carpenter announced that part of the Greenbelt Walk would take place on the bikeway from Parker Meadow to the Deport. It will involve roughly 20 people. Other business: Peggy requested traffic crossing bollards at three of the intersections on the Bikeway (i.e., Hancock, Meriam, and Revere Streets) to make motorist aware of cyclist and pedestrians. The committee agreed it a good idea to have a liaison to the Traffic Safety Advisory Committee – now possible because of a revision of the TSAC charge.
