LBAC Meeting Minutes <br />6 <br /> <br />Answer: April – Nov 2025 <br />QUESTION – Does Bow St construction impact bikeway? <br /> <br />Answer: Bikeway is MBTA Property with a lease to town of Lexington <br /> <br />Bikeway will be closed for 1 year; construction will be done in phases <br />Peggy – maybe cars can’t park on Mass Ave during this time the bikeway is closed <br />Commuters and students riding will be displaced when the bikeway is closed. <br />Regarding widening the bikeway: Peggy added – putting gravel for 2 ft on both sides of bikeway to <br />widen the path – this would be a great opportunity to have gravel on the bikeway on both sides – <br />Conservation committee allowed it. <br />It would make a difference in terms of the width of the bikeway. <br />MWRA would not be opposed to installing gravel if the town requested it. <br /> <br />Mark Sandeen – the bikeway would be closed for over a year – At SB there would not be construction <br />during the winter so it would be open during the winter – has that changed since SB heard about this <br />last time? <br /> <br />Paul from MWRA – they could be temporary pavement down on the bikeway during the winter but it’s <br />not great. So the bikeway may be open during the winter with the temporary pavement. <br />Bikeway will be closed after Patriots Day 2025 and back in service by Nov 2025. <br />They will be able to get asphalt down in November. – That’s the schedule they are working with <br /> <br />QUESTION from Ram – if the bike lane is on the other side there is a busy exit to Pleasant Street that <br />needs to be taken into consideration. <br />QUESTION from Jim – what will the public outreach be? Will there be plenty of advanced warning / <br />education on using the bike lane, etc. for commuters especially? <br /> <br />MWRA will email us their presentation pack <br /> <br /> <br />3.
