East Lexington Association – bench at Bow Street Karen Simmons presented a proposal on behalf of the East Lexington Association for the installation of a teak bench at the Bow Street Play Area. She informed the committee that John Frey had met with Dave Pinsonneault, Parks Department, to discuss the appropriate location. The East Lexington Association will purchase the bench through the Town’s “bench program” and it will be installed by DPW. Dawn McKenna asked if the Association had consulted with the Design Advisory Committee. Karen Simmons said that she believed that this step had been taken, but would check with both John Frey and Dave Pinsonneault. Dick Thuma asked if the proposed location of the bench would negatively impact the drip lines of the trees closest to the proposed site.
