Pamela Lyons continued on her quest to have a tree and bench removed from the <br />bus stop relocated from 1666 Mass Ave to in front of Conte Bikes. MBTA <br />Guidelines require an unobstructed 4 foot wide landing pad whenever there is a <br />new or relocated bus stop. Pam has alerted DPW to this request and has gone to <br />the Commission on Disability and Tree Committees. This issue is in process. <br />The Center Committee voted nine to zero to support bringing the bus stop <br />into compliance with the MBTA guidelines and suggests moving it to the <br />left so as to be in front of the benches and Enterprise Bank. (Pam agreed to <br />pursue this alternative.) <br />Doug Lucente described meeting with a consultant and the Town Manager to <br />consider a contract for $25K to look at the vitality of the Center. The consultants <br />are two profs (UMass and Michigan) who have a lot of experience in this area. <br />There would be two charrettes and other services. There was some back and <br />forth as to what exactly is the purpose of this contract. “What are we getting for <br />the $10M Streetscape Project?” Doug noted that they are trying to react to <br />requests to do community engagement. Fred supported spending $25K to deal <br />with the perception that the Center is not meeting the needs of some <br />constituencies in Town. Fred noted that there are a lot of reasons to take a fresh <br />look at the Center. E.G. there are larger issues impacting retail commerce. <br />Notwithstanding many looks at the Center in the past, it would be good to pend <br />$25k to take a look and perhaps alter public perception. Jerry noted that it would <br />be helpful to get recommendations. Doug emphasized that the purpose is to get a <br />fresh start. <br />Pam Shadley spelled out the “RFP.” First task is for the consultant to read and <br />summarize all prior reports in advance of the first public meeting. Is there <br />agreement as to the prior recommendations and conclusions? The second public <br />meeting is to create a roadmap with action items. Sandhya concluded “it’s all <br />about the density.” We adjourned at 10:20. We did not take a vote on the <br />December 2022 minutes. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
