<br />committee’s concerns. Motion was seconded and passed unanimously. We <br />plan to seek Community Preservation Act funds for FY 2010 to address drainage <br />problems on the Bikeway. At the present time the path needs immediate brush <br />removal and mowing, as well as the overdue center stripe. <br /> <br />Sideline Striping Subcommittee Survey of Towns <br />: Bob Hausslein agreed to <br />work with Jerry Van Hook as part of the effort to improve bicycle safety on town <br />streets. They, with our help, will explore policies of neighboring towns with <br />respect to striping as well as the width of existing driving lanes and shoulders in <br />Lexington. <br /> <br />Intersection Subcommittee <br />: Peggy mentioned that George Gagliardi has <br />agreed to help facilitate the discussion about Bikeway intersections and what is <br />needed in terms of structures to improve safety, and how different intersections <br />may require different solutions. We agreed that it would be appropriate to <br />involve someone from the police department in this discussion. <br /> <br />Alzheimer’s Association <br />: Peggy reported that Carl Valente approved their use <br />to the bikeway corridor without consulting the committee because this was a <br />repeat request. <br /> <br />Other Busines <br />: Abe reported a bike/truck accident on Marrett and Mass. Ave. <br />The driver was cited and the cyclist taken to Lahey with minor injuries. Marrett <br />Road is particularly dangerous because of debris on the road due to lack of curbs <br />and off road parking at the Clarke field. Abe contacted a representative from <br />District 4 of Mass Highways and will continue to advocate for improved <br />maintenance. <br /> <br />The meeting was adjourned at 8:01 PM. <br /> <br />Record of the Discussion of Friends of Lexington Bikeways <br /> <br /> <br />Treasurer’s Report: <br /> Rich reported that the account remained steady at <br />$6,696.32. <br /> <br />Farmer’s Market <br />: There will be a bicycle corral on the afternoons of both June <br />thrd <br />16 and 23. Mike is making a local map to distribute. Peggy is arranging for <br />volunteers to run the corral and will have available membership forms and other <br />handouts. <br /> <br />Conservation Stewards <br />: Mike distributed the 2009 Lexington Conservation <br />Trail Improvement Schedule and encouraged members to help with the summer <br />trailwork. He said a good project to get involved with is Beaverbrook, and <br />mentioned the end of season barbecue. <br /> <br />
