<br /> <br />Bikeway Intersection Safety Program <br />: John Livsey is in the process of setting <br />priorities for intersections and asked us for specific features, which would make <br />intersections safer. Peggy will send an email to us and we should reply to her <br /> <br />regarding our specific issues regarding intersections along the bike path. <br /> <br />New Bike Map: <br />Bob Dangel showed us his first draft of a new Minuteman <br />Bikeway map.

Peggy mentioned that we will <br />seek funding through Cambridge Savings Bank and is working with Joey Glusko <br />in Arlington. <br /> <br />Peggy clarified that the Tourism Committee is willing to support our efforts to <br />produce a local map that directs bicyclists to historic sites and conservation <br />lands. <br /> <br />th <br />Transportation Forum <br />: Peggy attended the June 8 forum for seniors <br />conducted by Charlotte Rogers and Gail Wagner.
