<br />Jerry summarized his report to that group of our committee’s recommendations for safety <br />improvements and traffic mitigation by painting bicycle / pedestrian lanes on Hartwell <br />Avenue. Jerry then summarized the special meeting to discuss fixing the Marrett Road / <br />Spring Street intersection and the three options being considered: small roundabout, <br />signalization, and geometric redesign. <br /> <br />Bikeway Signage: <br />Following up the last meeting’s decision to address deteriorating <br />signage along the Bikeway, we divided the Bikeway into segments. The special stewards <br />– we agreed we remember who we are and which sections are ours - will survey the <br />conditions of the signs in their section and report results to Abe. (In Abe’s absence we <br />proposed him to pull the results together.) For reference, Stew agreed to find and email to <br />all the previous sign survey we did in 2003 or thereabouts. <br /> <br /> <br />Record of Friends of the Bikeway votes and discussions. <br /> <br />Spring cleanup <br /> of the Bikeway was discussed and a tentative date of Saturday, May 6 <br />was agreed upon. Efforts will be made to get various level scouts involved as well as high <br />school students. Marita volunteered to be the contact with the Girl Scouts. We will ask <br />Hank to switch hats and advise on how to enlist Boy Scout help. <br /> <br />Newsletter <br />: Discussion of a new newsletter was deferred until more members are <br />present. <br /> <br />Earth Day festival <br />: We agreed to have the Friends participate in an Earth Day festival <br />being planned for April 29 by the Lexington Global Warming Action Coalition. It will be <br />held on the lawn in front of the Visitors’ Center. One of the principal themes will be <br />changing habits to save energy, like using alternate modes of transportation, so our <br />message would be very fitting. Participation would be at no charge, and we probably <br />could share a table with another group. <br /> <br />Misc <br />: The letter thanking State Rep. Anne Paulsen for her service to bicyclists and <br />pedestrians was okayed by all and signed by Marita in Abe’s absence. (It was sent by <br />BAC and FOB jointly, so it was co-signed by Stew.) <br /> <br /> <br />Information Distributed: <br /> <br />S. Kennedy draft ltr of February 9, 2006 to Walgreen’s manager <br />S. Kennedy and A. Shenker ltr of February 9, 2006 to State Rep. Anne Paulsen <br /> <br />Recorder Name: <br />Harvey Bingham, scribe; Stew Kennedy, editor <br /> <br /> <br />
