<br />APPROVED MEETING NOTES <br />Committee Name: Lexington Bicycle Advisory Committee <br />Date, Time and Location of Meeting: July 9, 2015, Cary Library, 7:00 p.m. <br />Members Present: Peggy Enders (Chair), Marita Hartshorn, Bob Hausslein (FoLB <br />Chair), Laurel Carpenter, Bob Dangel, Sandra Shaw (Recreation Liaison), Richard <br />Canale (Planning Board Liaison) <br />Members Absent: Mike Tabaczynski, John Frey, George Gagliardi, Carolyn Levi <br />Others Present: Jennifer Melot, Sergeant Paul Callahan, Beverly Seavey, Howard <br />Cloth <br />The May Meeting Minutes were approved as submitted. <br />Tri-Town Committee Meeting <br /> (June 6): Bedford reported that bike lanes will be <br />marked on Route 62 and CPA funds were approved for the bicycle long term plans <br />for the town. There will be a repair stand at the Depot and a cycle track on Railroad <br />Avenue leading to the Reformatory Branch/Bikeway extension. Arlington requested <br />that we resume bike counts. The next Tri-Town meeting will be in January and will be <br />hosted by Bedford. <br />Summer Signage on the Bikeway <br />: Peggy displayed sets of new Burma Shave <br />themed signs for the Bikeway. Jennifer and Peggy will install them. Bob Dangel <br />proposed graphic design signs with messages for next year’s signs. Peggy will <br />email prototypes of these for our review. <br />Bikeway Paving, Closures, and Detours: <br /> The newly paved section of Bedford <br />Street will be repaved where it is failing, and bike lanes will be repainted. Bikeway <br />paving between Bedford Street and the Bedford town line as well as near Camillia <br />Way will also involve detours. Peggy has been in touch with Dave Cannon to <br />request that sharrows on Hill Street be painted, since sharrows were recommended <br />as part of the roadway recommendations (per the Bob Dangel spreadsheet) for bike <br />accommodation improvements. Jennifer mentioned that the bike lanes on Hartwell <br />Avenue are disappearing due to wear; the lane needs to be swept and cleaned. The <br />sharrows have disappeared from Spring Street, and were never painted on Lincoln, <br />Adams, or Waltham streets. The committee talked about the problem with the slow <br />response to many bicycle-related requests as well as some problems with <br />communications between departments. One example that was discussed are the <br />bike racks that have been missing in the Town Center for several years – some <br />because they were borrowed for other purposes, others because they were removed <br /> <br />
