Upcoming Quarterly Transportation Forum <br />: The next Transportation Forum is scheduled <br />for Wednesday, October 15, 9 am. Peggy will present the “report card” from the League of <br />American Bicyclists, detailing their recommendations to improve Lexington’s bike <br />friendliness. Complete Streets and paving projects are also on the forum agenda. <br />Annual Report <br /> – Peggy is preparing the Committee report for the period July 2013 to June <br />2014. <br />Liaison Reports <br /> – Sandra Shaw reported that the bike path from Lincoln Field to Middleby <br />is finished. <br />Other business <br /> - <br /> There was discussion about wintertime users of the Bikeway who want to cross- <br />country ski and their concerns about the skiing surface after plowing. Stakes were <br />suggested to help guide the plow operator (though the committee has had prior <br />experience with trying to stake the path). <br /> Peggy said that, in a meeting with the DPW, the Bikeway was slated to be striped <br />very soon, and the Board of Selectmen would be considering a bike lane for Bedford <br />Street at their next meeting. She also heard from the DPW managers that the car <br />wash and other abutters of the Bikeway in East Lexington will be discouraged from <br />dumping their plowed snow onto the Bikeway ROW. <br /> Peggy mentioned that Melisa Tintocalis, Director of Economic Development, will <br />attend the October LBAC meeting to talk about the proposed designs for the new <br />Grain Mill Alley. Members were encouraged to learn more about this project. <br />The meeting was adjourned at 7:55 pm. <br />Record of the Discussion of the Friends of Lexington Bikeways <br />Farmer’s Market: <br /> There was a good turnout at the September 9 Bike Corral, perhaps due <br />to our newer location near the bike path and increased publicity. <br />501c3 status: <br />The Friends’ 501c3 status is pending. <br />Smart Cycling Quick Guide <br />Bob Hausslein will look into purchasing copies of the LAB for <br />distribution at FoLB events. <br />Moving Together Forum <br />Laurel will attend the in October. <br /> <br />Upcoming Dates <br />LBAC/FoLB meeting Thursday, October 9, 7 pm, <br />Parker Room of the Town Office <br />Building <br /> <br />
