<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MEETING MINUTES <br /> <br /> <br />Committee Name: Lexington Bicycle Advisory Committee <br /> <br />Date, Time and Location of Meeting: <br />July 9, 2009, 7 pm, Rm.111 Town Office <br />Building <br /> <br />Members Present: <br />Peggy Enders (Chair), Stew Kennedy, Mike Tabaczynski, <br />Marita Hartshorn, Abe Shenker (FoLB Chair), Laurel Carpenter, Richard Canale <br />(Planning Board Liaison), Hank Manz, (Selectmen’s Liaison), Jerry Van Hook, <br />George Gagliardi, John Frey <br /> <br />Others Present: <br />Bob Hausslein, Richard Spencer (Treasurer FoLB), Bob <br />Dangel, Terry Gleason <br /> <br />Absent: <br />Sandra Shaw (Recreation Committee Liaison) <br /> <br />Minutes: <br />June 11, 2009 minutes were accepted as corrected. <br /> <br />DPW Meeting <br />: Peggy and Abe met with Bill Hadley about the $175,000 voted at <br />the 2007 Town Meeting for Bikeway paving and root control. At this time the <br />Town Manager has not released the money. Approximately $25-30,000 will be <br />needed for root barriers. Fixing the drainage might be possible through a <br />proposal for CPA funds; Peggy will get the forms and information and work with <br />the town to file before the November deadline. George with the help of Laurel, <br />Jerry, Abe, and Peggy will meet with fire and police to come up with <br />recommendations for improved intersection signage, gates, and bollards to <br />develop a Town Meeting warrant article request (Bill Hadley suggested that the <br />approximate cost for such improvements would be $10,000). Money will be <br />needed for paving – both for repairs in the short term and then in the longer term. <br />Peggy requested that Bill Hadley appoint a specific liaison to have responsibility <br />for all bike path issues. <br /> <br />Bike Racks <br />: It is unclear at this time whether the state has released the funds <br />for the MAPC bike rack program. Richard will contact them, since it is his <br />understanding that the state will reimburse towns for racks as long as invoices <br />are submitted by November. Dave Pinsonneault reported to Marita that the bike <br />rack at the post office has become a problem, because the wood chips were not <br />put under the rack as was promised to the HDC. The new Post Office manager is <br />objecting to having the bike rack being there partially because of the eyesore of <br />long grass growing underneath the rack. Dave has promised to meet with the <br /> <br />
