Routes program will be expanded from Bridge School to Bowman School in the spring. The sidewalk map needs to have main through-trails in conservation areas added. We’re looking for a volunteer interested in doing this. Stew will solicit a volunteer from the Conservation Stewards directors. Hartwell Avenue: Jerry outlined the proposal for striping a bike / pedestrian lane on each side of Hartwell Ave and associated signage that he will bring to the new Traffic Mitigation Group, in his capacity as our liaison. Bikeway Signage: We discussed the deteriorating condition of signs along the Bikeway. Vandalism and pilferage are taking a toll and it was decided we should take action. First step will be to assess which signs are missing or damaged and needing replacement. It was agreed to put this on next month’s agenda for action. Record of Friends of the Bikeway votes and discussions. There was no change to the Treasurers report. A motion was approved to make and have installed, on the bike racks to go behind the depot, plaques similar to the dedication plaques. These new plaques will inform users that bicycles are not to be ridden on Center sidewalks. The Historical Society commemorative brick sale for the pavement on the Bikeway side of the Depot building was described. Notice of it should be sent to Arlington and Bedford Bikeway committees as well. It was agreed the FOB should send a letter thanking State Rep. Anne Paulsen, who recently announced her retirement, for her years of bicycling and pedestrian advocacy at the state house. Stew offered to draft it. Next FOB newsletter should explain the need for donations to replace damaged and missing Bikeway signs. Information Distributed: Copies of Lexington sidewalk map prepared by Sidewalk Committee S.
