Sidewalk Committee <br /> Community Focus Group <br /> Meeting Minutes <br /> May 9, 2005 <br /> Present: Sue Ellen Briggs, Olga Guttag, Jeanne Krieger,Victoria Buckley, Lucy Fletcher- <br /> Jones, Gail Wagner, Steve Kropper, Judy Crocker, Tracey Herbert, and Craig Weeks <br /> The Safe Routes to School Survey was the first item discussed. Results are still coming <br /> in and being tabulated. The survey will be discussed in more detail when the tabulating <br /> is finalized. <br /> The discussion moved into surveying the town citizens in general. It was decided that <br /> developing this survey would be put on hold while we concentrate on getting input from <br /> groups and individual citizen at meetings and at Discovery Day. <br /> In planning Discovery Day Jeanne agreed to get us a spot at the DPW's table. Gail <br /> agreed to get a large map of the town with sidewalks noted for display at this table. <br /> Tracey agreed to make a suggestion box. Discovery Day is scheduled for Saturday May <br /> 28 from 10-3 in the municipal parking lot that is behind Michelson's with a rain date of <br /> Saturday June 4th. At our next meeting we'll work on a schedule for staffing the table. <br /> In discussing the message we'd like to present to the community and the types of <br /> questions to ask to get their input on the importance of sidewalks we agreed that it would <br /> be much easier to approach this topic with a draft in hand. Steve agreed to produce a <br /> draft of an article for the Lexington Minuteman. This article would be approximately <br /> 800 words for their guest commentary or to be used as an article. Steve was given <br /> information from websites and emails between committee members to work from. He <br /> will email the draft to everyone by Friday May 13 so that we can review it before our <br /> next meeting Tuesday May 17 at 9:30AM in room 111. <br /> We agreed to begin approaching groups to set dates to meet with them to discuss <br /> sidewalks and get their input. Below is the list of people and whom they said they would <br /> contact: <br /> Tracey: Stand for Children and Loring Hill Community <br /> Jeanne and Sue Ellen: Brookhaven and South Lexington <br /> Jeanne: Council on Aging <br /> Judy: Hayden Colonial Times and Vision 20/20 <br /> Craig: Recreation Dept. <br /> Olga: PTAs and Center Collaborative <br /> Steve: Sustainable Lexington <br /> Victoria: Disability Commission <br />
