MEETING MINUTES Committee Name: Bicycle Advisory Committee Date, Time and Location of Meeting: March 9, 2006; 7:00 pm; Rm G-15, Town Office Building Members Present: Stew Kennedy (chair), Harvey Bingham (scribe), John Frey, Erna Greene, Jim Wichmann Others Present: Rich Spencer (FOB) Members Absent: Marita Hartshorn, Abe Shenker, Mike Tabaczynski, Jerry VanHook Record of Votes taken and issues discussed. Minutes from the February 9 meeting were reviewed, corrected and accepted as corrected. Abutters Survey: The consensus of those present was that no further action be taken. Bikeway Signage: Regarding our survey of missing and damaged signs along the Bikeway, the inputs need to be collected, so we can report to DPW. Several of us haven’t done our surveys yet: only Rich and Harvey have reported their findings. Findings should be emailed to Abe and Stew. Miscellaneous : 1. The MWRA sewer relining project (to extend along the Bikeway about 1000 feet roughly between the two North Lexington Brook crossings east of Revere Street) is still being planned for this spring. Bids were to have closed in February, with the work possibly starting by late March. We were promised to be invited to the pre-project meeting. 2. Mike has selected May 27 for the date of the final boardwalk project in Dunback Meadow. The holiday weekend couldn’t be avoided if we want to take advantage of th LHS 9-grade Earth Science class volunteers this school year. In the preceding week we’ll need a few skilled volunteers to build the bridge over Clematis Brook so that the boardwalk material can be carried across. Mike will put the project announcement in to the school. 3. When Rich met last year with Dave Pinsonneault about the Bikeway edge mowing, Dave asked that we meet with him this spring before the mowing season arrives. At the April meeting we should decide who will do this. 4. Stew reported that Susan Bennett (Lexington Historical Society) mentioned last week that the schedule for work on the pavement behind the Depot building has been delayed and may not get done this year. Thus she asked if we’d approve the temporary return of the bike racks there. She was assured we are in favor of that.
