Bike Accident Data (Discussion at Transportation Safety Group): Peggy reported on a discussion held at the Transportation Safety Group about obtaining reliable and complete data about bike accidents in Lexington. The problem rests partially with the system currently in use; Capt. Ferro reported that his department is working with the Town’s IT department to purchase new software. Bike Safety freebies: blinkies, bells, helmets, etc. (Update) – Jennifer provided a sample of an inexpensive red flasher that the committee might purchase in volume as a giveaway at various events and school functions. Peggy hopes that there are funds available through the CHNA grant to help purchase safety freebies such as flashers and bike bells, “check for bike” stickers for car windows, etc. The meeting was adjourned at 8:10 pm. Record of the Discussions of the Friends of Lexington Bikeways Treasurer's Report: Bob reported 105 Bikeway plowing donors this year,10 percent of whom don't live in Lexington. Income was slightly lower than plowing expenses, which, considering how much plowing was required this winter, is quite good. 2015 Bike Walk ‘n Bus Week – Peggy reported on some of the activities being planned, th including a second year of the Bike Smart for 5 Graders program and the Women's Ride, both activities involving LAB certified instructors. On May 15, the Commuter Breakfast will take place again at the Depot in the early morning, and a “pop-up” bike repair workshop will be held at the Depot in the afternoon involving Landry’s and Ride.Studio.
