The top priority items were discussed (i.e., <br />pavement issues; intersection safety; and a signage plan as well as the <br />appointment of a bike program coordinator) and the Board established <br />action items but will not accept the report until it is in final form. Peggy said <br />she was asked a question about pedestrian right-of-way on the Bikeway, an <br />issue that ought to be discussed further. <br />Bikeway paving plan <br />: John Livsey has announced a plan to repave two <br />sections of the Bikeway this season:from the Arlington town line to Fottler <br />Avenue and from Woburn to Fletcher streets. The detour from the Arlington <br />line needs to be thought through. <br />Richard Canale mentioned that Shade Street is also slated for some paving <br />work this season with four speed humps and two raised intersections. The <br />committee discussed the angle of transition on the speed bumps. <br />Richard also talked about progress on developing a Complete Streets <br />zoning by-law and regulations by the Planning Board and Planning staff. <br />He said that bicycle accommodation issues are gaining greater priority. <br />With respect to arterials, there is now an understanding of the need for <br />shrinking motor vehicle lane widths to accommodate bike lanes. He <br />mentioned an upcoming public hearing on the proposed regulations that will <br />take place at the end of March. <br /> <br />
