4. Recommendations for Roundabouts: <br /> There is a roundabout proposed for Bedford, Harrington Road and Hancock St. <br /> LBAC sub-committee (Dave, Suzan and Mike) researched what other towns have <br /> done about roundabouts to make it safer for bikes. Dave-Good for cars. For <br /> bicycles- maybe not. Slower cars at roundabouts - safer for bikes. Painted <br /> bike lanes at roundabouts can be dangerous. Ross-it is a constrained/tight <br /> location, historic properties, make sidewalks wide. 15,000 cars pass through <br /> daily. Richard-roundabout is a good option/safe for cyclists <br /> 5. Signage Proposal: <br /> Betty - Lots of work was done before 2019. Peggy and Mike T. did a lot of <br /> work. We should restart - Speed Limits / Info / Welcome. Peggy- There is <br /> money. Blue signs were put, not effective. How does one catch the attention of <br /> "Jerks on Bikes"? There is Money for kiosks (Tool Design Group) . Suzan - Signs <br /> need to be redesigned so they are not ignored. Discuss offline. <br /> 6. Liaison Reports <br /> Richard Canale-Mass Ave/Scenic Byway - MassDOT -Rte 2A from Crosby Corner to <br /> Rte 128-Repaving. Initially they said 4 feet of pavement from Cyclists. Now <br /> back to what it was. Subcommittee trying to convince DOT to reduce speed AND <br /> pavement widening for bikes. <br /> Richard-Transit improvements for Hayden Ave companies. Maybe use it to 1050 <br /> Waltham townline. Asking for money? OR any specific? LBAC should weigh-in AND <br /> propose thoughts. South Lexington Transportation Plan - Bike Lanes along the <br /> whole length of Waltham Street - LBAC should propose ideas. (Susan said that <br /> maybe discuss with Bob Peters - Planning Board) . LBAC person to volunteer to <br /> talk with Bob Peters needed. <br /> 7. Other Business <br /> None <br /> +++++++++++++++ <br />
