Bow St to Maple would use the sidewalk and then the current bike lane. <br />Peggy – there are so many businesses along there so they would have to sacrifice about 10 <br />parking spaces or more, that’s it. <br /> <br />The design needs to take into consideration that the bike lane on Mass Ave is not sufficient for <br />those who do not feel comfortable to travel on the road of Mass Ave. <br />Best way to do it is to use the sidewalk; have bikers use the sidewalk was suggested by MWRA. <br />Ram – asked if repaving would be done in spring? <br />MWRA explained that during the winter – there will be some permanent paving and then in the <br />spring they will go over it for a better pavement. <br /> <br />Sarah – let’s dig in more about removing parking off street parking to provide a safer bike lane. <br /> <br />We need to design the detour for pedestrian traffic and disability along with bikers. <br /> <br />Who is responsible for the detour? Answer is MWRA, NOT the Town <br />Yes, MWRA confirmed and explained that Black and Beach is the consultant for bikeway <br />detour. <br />Bikeway closing April 2025 – Nov 2025 <br /> <br />When we will see the design? <br />MWRA has detailed drawings of the temp bike lane <br />MWRA will go back and put together the design along with Ross and discuss options and then <br />come back to LBAC at the Dec 7, 2023 meeting. <br /> <br />Providing a bike detour is part of the construction bid when hiring a contractor. <br />Betty suggested we summarize what we are expecting in the bike detour (followed up with an <br />email summary to MWRA). <br />Our summary: <br />We are not here to design the detour but we are requesting the design to accommodate a safe <br /> <br />Bike traffic on one side on Mass Ave with contra flow lanes <br />Temporary concrete barriers to protect bike lane <br />
