Lexington Center Committee Minutes 7/27/89 <br /> Members present: Margery Battin, Chairman, Norma Bogen, Morton Kahan, Robert <br /> Ossman, Marian Powell <br /> CROSSWALK SAFETY <br /> The Committee reviewed the Selectmen's response to our recommendations, most <br /> of which were adopted. It was decided that the committee's responsibilities for the tasks <br /> assigned to us should be as follows. <br /> Battin is to determine locations at the entrances to the town for the signs which are <br /> to specify that the pedestrian crosswalk law is strictly enforced. She is to discuss the <br /> sign design with the DAC; the LCC will then recommend wording. Battin will also draft <br /> the letter to be sent to the local industries by the Chairman of the Board of Selectmen <br /> and the President of the Chamber of Commerce. <br /> Ossman and Powell will design the flyer which will be sent to the industries for <br /> display on their bulletin boards as well as the one to be distributed to school children <br /> and distributed Discovery Day.

Contradictions and poor sentence structure were noted. Ossman pointed out that <br /> in a discussion with Dixon representatives about lighting fixtures they were concentrating <br />
