4.Member Reports: Mr. Manz noted that Article 10(g) (Massachusetts Avenue—three intersection improvements) is scheduled for discussion at Town Meeting tonight. This Committee previously voted to support the project because it is designed to improve safety and facilitate traffic flow in East Lexington; the latter would help public transportation keep to posted schedules. It was agreed that Mr. Manz could share TAC’s support at Town Meeting, as appropriate. Mr. Manz plans to invite Elaine Celi, School Department Transportation Coordinator, to a future TAC meeting. It may help for TAC to hear directly about the school department’s transportation challenges. 5.Selectmen Goals: TAC has been asked to submit recommended goals to the Board of th Selectmen (BoS) by May 27. This triggered a review of the recommended goals submitted by TAC in 2015 and the following discussions: TAC would like a taxi stand in Lexington center. Mr. Manz, who is on the BoS’s Policy Committee, volunteered to request a meeting of the Policy Committee to discuss this issue. A Lexington parent has created an ‘app’ called Sociali to facilitate carpooling. Mr. Manz will ask the parent to attend a future meeting. The next Lexpress contract should include a requirement for cameras on the buses that log activity on the bus and a view from the front windshield. It was agreed that suggestions should be forwarded to Ms. Rebecchi, who will compile them for the next meeting.
