Citizens and Other Boards <br /> There were no citizens wishing to speak. <br /> <br />2. Meeting Minutes <br />4-0-1. <br />The minutes of the September 15, 2004 Recreation Committee meeting were accepted <br /> <br />Lincoln Park Sub-Committee <br />3. <br />Pam Varrin reported that she had spoken with Lynne Wilson of the LPSC. The LPSC has no <br />immediate issues or concerns. Ms. Varrin also told the Recreation Committee that she had recently <br />completed a walk through of the new Fitness Path. She indicated that there were some stations that <br />might need a retrofit to allow more accessibility for those in wheelchairs. She also reported that <br />students from the LABBB program were going to do another walk through and review of the Fitness <br />Path. She will report their findings at an upcoming meeting. <br />Sandra Shaw asked if there had been recent reports of water at the Worthen Road end of the path. <br />Some of the fitness stations in the lower park seem to be holding water due to grading issues. Don <br />Chisholm said that there appears to be a very high water level around the boardwalk that runs through <br />the Hayden land. He wondered if the Vine Brook culvert might be blocked. Dave Pinsonneault said <br />that he has not received any notification of this, but he would look at the site. According to Dave, if <br />there is an issue with the culvert DPW might not be able to address it, as it is located on the privately <br />owned Hayden property. <br /> <br />4. Middlesex Hospital Ad Hoc Committee <br />Karen Simmons informed the committee that the Middlesex Hospital Ad Hoc committee had <br />requested a representative from Recreation. Sandra Shaw noted that she had attended a meeting <br />recently and would be happy to continue to be the liaison. <br /> <br /> <br />1625 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE • LEXINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02420 <br /> <br /> <br />
