2 <br />Presentation by DPW Regarding Alternative Plans for Bus Stop <br />Victoria questioned why this has not been resolved after both the Commission and the Center <br />Committee had already voted on this issue. The two sites were clarified once again as being: 1. In front <br />of 1666 where it used to be; 2. Leave it in front of Conte’s. It was explained that the Center Committee <br />had voted to move only 2 spaces not 3. A compromise plan has been developed which Ross Morrow <br />presented. This new alternative involves a bump-out in front of Conte’s of 5-7 feet so the bus would <br />stop in its lane of traffic for passengers. The Commission appreciated the creativity of this design. <br />Concerns about this proposal were discussed: its impact on traffic and Grant Street turn, the fact that <br />1666 has coverage in inclement weather, the cost of constructing the bump-out. The Commission <br />decided to vote on whether members wanted 1666 instead of the new alternative. The vote was 4-1 for <br />returning the bus stop to 1666 (note that 4 members were absent but quorum of 5 were present). <br /> <br />New Business <br />• Mark said that the library renovation plans have been approved by the Select Board. <br />• The idea of having a check-off on the building permit applications that says the Commission has <br />been consulted was suggested to Jim Kelly. <br />• Sue Cusack mentioned that the Conservation pathways at Lincoln Field were broken, especially <br />at the beginnings and ends of the paths. <br /> <br /> <br />Meeting Adjourned at 7:15 pm <br />Minutes submitted by Victoria Buckley
