<br />?? <br />Hartwell Avenue transportation plan: Richard reported that the Planning <br />Board has hired Rizzo Consultants to help with the policy definition to be <br />adopted for that transport corridor. He asked that a person be designated <br />to represent bike interests; Peggy volunteered to be the LBAC Committee <br />liaison when the planning board develops policies on the future <br />infrastructure needs of Hartwell Avenue. <br /> <br />?? <br />Richard reported that Federal funding for surface transportation is in <br />jeopardy because of lack of matching funds from the State. <br /> <br />Meeting adjourned at 8:30 PM. <br /> <br />Record of the Discussion of the Friends of Lexington Bikeways <br /> <br />Treasurer’s Report: Rich reported that $6,539.67 was in the FoLB account. <br /> <br />Bike path plowing in December 2008: <br /> Peggy reported that the town received a <br />bill for $1,105 from the sidewalk snowblower contractor who covered the first two <br />storms last winter. Although the plow did little or nothing to make the path <br />usable, we feel obligated to pay him. Peggy spoke with David Williams <br />(representing the Trustees for Public Trusts) about the invoice; he suggested that <br />FoLB approach the trustees to cover two storms in the upcoming winter instead <br />of asking that this invoice be covered with their funds. We will confirm that in <br />writing. The past experience with winter plowing can be chalked up as “a lesson <br />learned.” <br /> <br />Tour de Lexington (June 13) <br />: A huge thanks was given to Laurel for organizing <br />and Abe for furnishing refreshments. The police detail should be reexamined <br />next year, since the assigned officer was unable to keep up and help with <br />intersection crossings. We should plan another ride next year, perhaps with a <br />barbeque at the end. <br /> <br />thrd <br />Farmer’s Market <br />: We managed the bicycle corrals on both June 16 and 23. <br />June 16 corralled 78 bikes and June 23 (cold and rainy) about 30 bikes. We <br />agreed to design and purchase a “Friends of Lexington Bikeways” banner that <br />we could use at such occasions. We will offer to do another corral later this <br />summer. <br /> <br />Running Company/Shire 5 K Run <br />: An estimated 185 people participated on <br />June 14. We collected signatures of runners who support Bikeway plowing. We <br />look forward to receiving a check toward next winter’s plowing from the Running <br />Company as offered. <br /> <br />Conservation Trails and Trailwork <br />: <br /> <br />
