5K Shire Run : Peggy and Abe will host an information table at the run and distribute information about LBAC, FOLB, and plowing. Bikeway Stewards : Bob had zero responses to his request in the Minuteman to become bikeway stewards. He believes that low velocity Bikeway users notice litter more. He volunteered to walk the Bikeway and pick up litter and in addition, put a sign on his bike advertising FOLB. He agreed that it might make sense to expand the stewards’ work to include brush clearing. We discussed buying T- shirts or day-glo vests for all volunteers to be worn while working on the path and at our events (“Friend of Lexington Bikeways Volunteer”). Marita volunteered to look into options. We agreed that Bikeway brush cleanups will take place in July (probably Monday afternoons). Winchester Bike racks . Rich reported that Winchester is using the state money to buy numerous racks for their center, some of which are singlets. Bedford and a Tri-Town Meeting : Terry Gleason reported through Peggy the lack of bicycle committee in Bedford. He continues to advocate for cycling issues including Hartwell Ave. and said safe-routes-to-schools is doing well. The Minuteman Extension is facing an uphill battle due to NIMBY syndrome. We will continue to talk with him about hosting a Tri-Town meeting this summer. Other business: Abe suggested that we engage in higher level fund-raising to develop corporate sponsors for the Bikeway and other bicycle programs. He suggested this be a wintertime activity.
