The November 2009 minutes were accepted as unofficial, since a quorum had not been present. CPA Proposal : Peggy reported that our CPA proposal for restoration and preservation of the Minuteman Bikeway is being reviewed by town counsel. The work described in the proposal may be considered maintenance, which is not allowed by State law to qualify for CPA funding. The next meeting of the CPC is Monday, December 14 at 3:30, Rm. G15. Bikeway Plowing: The bikeway was plowed well on Tuesday. We will close the gates as requested. Peggy and Stew marked the bikeway with orange stakes from Bow St. to Season’s Four. Marita and Bob Hartshorn and Bob Hausslein will continue staking. Peggy and Abe will write a letter in the Minuteman thanking those who contributed money for plowing. It was suggested we prepare business cards to hand to people who ask about how they can help. Bike paths in the Bridge School Neighborhood : Jerry and Stew met Tom Shiple near Bridge School. He reported to the town items needing attention in this area: fence repair, a mound of sand and gravel on the path, and lack of bollards. So far the fence has been fixed. Since work is ongoing, the bollards may have to wait; however cones can be used temporarily to deter driving on the path.
