Upcoming Quarterly Transportation Forum <br />: Peggy will present the League of <br />American Bicyclist recommendations for Lexington as well as their “report card.” Also <br />on the agenda is a discussion of complete streets and upcoming paving plans. Laurel <br />remarked that Waltham has now adopted a Complete Streets policy. <br />Other business: <br /> Bob Dangel remarked that the Bikeway from Hartwell to Westview is <br />in dire need of paving. The committee agreed that the greatest hazard at the present <br />time is the depression at the Tophet Swamp bridge. Peggy promised to contact the <br />DPW to ask that this be repaired asap.Bob Dangel remarked that the Season’s Four <br />intersection is a low spot and thereby collects water and ice in the winter. This <br />intersection should be raised when it’s paved. A member remarked that the bike lane <br />on Hayden Avenue ends badly; it needs to be rounded off and not just stop short. <br />The meeting was adjourned at 8:10 pm. <br />Record of the Discussions of the Friends of Lexington Bikeways <br />1. Treasurer's Report: FoLB received a $200 donation from Sisterhood of Temple <br />Isaiah. <br />2. Fundraising plans for Plowing 2014-15: FoLB plans once again to erect 10 signs <br />seeking donations; an additional small sign will be prepared to inform users how to <br />report dangerous conditions. A solicitation should go to the various lists (including <br />those who signed in at the bike corrals), and letters should be put in the Minuteman <br />reminding residents that the town doesn’t pay for plowing. <br />3. LAB Smart Cycle Quick Guides: Bob purchased 50 of these, which will be sold <br />for cost ($1) at the Farmer’s Market. <br />Upcoming Dates <br />LBAC/FoLB meeting Thursday, November 13, 7 pm, <br />Parker Room of the <br />Town Office Building <br />Bike to Market Day: Tuesday, October 14 <br />Quarterly Transportation ForumOctober 15, 9 am <br />:, Selectmen’s Meeting <br />Room <br />Grain Mill Alley Public Workshop 3: Thursday, October 16, 7-9 pm, <br />at the <br />Library Large Meeting Room <br />Tri-Town Bike Committee meeting: Saturday, October 25, 9 am, <br />Central <br />School (Senior Center) Lower Level (27 Maple Street, Arlington Center) <br />Moving Together Conference: Thursday, October 30, <br />Boston Park Plaza <br />Hotel <br />
