website has town-by-town subpages, including one for Lexington, which maps a walk on Mass Ave from Arlington to Battle Green. No reference to ACROSS.] Transportation Safety Group Report Peggy attended the February meeting and reported that Lexington is looking to create a Vision Zero action plan — goal: elimination of all traffic fatalities, including pedestrians. Having a plan opens opportunities for funding. The TSG is looking for projects that are actionable in the next 3-4 months. There is no current connection to the Bike/Ped plan, but it is hoped in the future that the Bike/Ped plan will include actionable projects. Peggy noted that the TSG has allocated $30k for the Bike/Ped plan which will hopefully be augmented by $60k at Town Meeting. Bike/Ped Plan Statement Update The $60k is not on the Article 12 consent agenda for Town Meeting since it is a "new" appropriation. Agreement that it was important to have a supporting statement available if there are questions at Town Meeting. Vote: A motion to recommend to the Select Board to support Article 12b and 12n (Streetscape improvements at Bedford/Hancock/Harrington intersection) at Town Meeting was unanimously approved by the committee. Keith was delegated to draft and submit this recommendation to the Select Board. Mark Sandeen will provide liaison to the Select Board on this matter. Ongoing Business Brochure/Map redesign update The subgroup has made the plans for the updated design of the new brochure. With closure on not including "Route 4", the new additions will be routes N and P. Posts and signage for P will be installed in the spring. The group will get everything ready to go to the printer for July printing. Discuss using double arrow (H) symbol for connector trail segments Keith opened a discussion of how to mark connector trail segments (e.g., Grove St across 95/128 to connect N with Rt 4) that are not formal labeled routes and perhaps also "on ramps" directing users to paths that lead to labeled routes (e.g., Hayes Ln, Saddle Club Rd). Keith to meet with a group that would like such a connection along the edge of the center recreation area along the pool and tennis courts, parallel to Parker St. Agreed that this needs further discussion to consider criteria and symbols, how/whether to include on map. Summer Lexington High School brochure distributor coordinator needed Susan is relinquishing this role after 7 years. Involves coordination with guidance department to make opportunities for delivering maps to holders along routes available to students needing community service hours. This activity cannot start until the new brochures are in hand. Contact Susan if you need more details. Let Keith know if you are willing to take this on.
