Laurel has <br />prepared a waiver complete with space for addresses and e-mail. Time: 9:00 to <br />noon. Place: Visitors Center. Distance: Just under 12 miles. We will have <br />nametags. Peggy will put signs on bikeway to further publicize the event. We <br />will hire one police officer for three hours and stop at Abe’s house for <br />refreshments. <br /> <br />Bike Racks: <br /> Marita will set up another meeting with Dave Pinsonneault.

Sandra said that more racks are needed in the <br />center. More signs are needed to point cyclists to other rack locations. <br /> <br />Bikeway Upkeep and Maintenance <br />: Peggy reported that, because of a <br />spending freeze, the town cannot buy the required yellow paint for the striping <br />st <br />until July 1. The FoLB has graciously offered to lend $500 to the town to speed <br />up the process. We discussed the desire to have a single individual on the town <br />staff with responsibility and budget authority for bikeway issues and <br />maintenance. We decided our first step is to meet with Bill Hadley to discuss <br />formalizing such an arrangement. The 2007 Town Meeting approved $175,000 <br />to address a number of Bikeway maintenance issues, including repaving. To <br />date, it appears that none of those resources have been released. Abe Shenker <br />moved that the LBAC send a letter to the Selectmen to communicate the <br /> <br />
