Review meeting notes - add Bob Dangel to mention of meeting with DPW. 2. Crashes and police reports - Bob Dangel suggested that the recommendations be made clearer. Kevin will work on the draft for our next meeting. 3. Bike Walk n' Bus Week - Bike Forum: Lou - bike safety; Richard C - safe routes. Jennifer M and others do commuter talk; maybe leave maps/postit notes under the depot up all week to let people share concerns/stories. 4. Bike Counters - Colorado DOT has good info. Peggy pointed out that we really want to do counts on the road, especially not during commuter hours. Various ideas floated, like using Strava data, videotaping and reviewing. No counts of students who commute to school. Idea of having people do something to be counted. Jordan McCarron has a "critter cam" that takes pictures (editorial: we could do image recognition on these images with existing software to count bikes etc.). Mike will do some research into various options. 5. Lou: outreach from the bike committee —what are our goals for 2018? Share these with the public. 6. Liaison reports - Peggy on Center Streetscape working group. Next meeting on benches and bike parking. Peggy wants help to decide where bike racks should go. Commented that Triton racks have to go; they don't comply with security standards. Jennifer commented that we should just get a row of (APBP- conforming) inverted U racks . Lou, George, Mike, Bob, Jennifer will attend a session to talk more about this. 7. Bob mentioned the Woburn street intersection and how the existing Beta designs did little or nothing to improve throughput. Various discussion of options. No vote from Selectmen. Apparently roundabout was floated again. Jennifer will bug DPW engineers about plans for Hartwell protected bike lane.
