Town of Lexington <br />Lexington Center Committee <br />Minutes for the meeting held on Thursday, May 11, 2023 in Estabrook Hall, <br />basement of the Cary Hall Building, Massachusetts Avenue, Lexington, <br />Massachusetts beginning 8:30 am. <br />Committee members present: Richard Brown, Upasna Chhabra, Katherine Huang, <br />Frederic Johnson, Jeffery Lyon, Pamela Lyons, Innessa Manning, Jerold Michelson <br />(Chair), Pamela Shadley, Jon Wakelin <br />Liaisons: Doug Lucente, Select Board, Dave Pinsonneault, DPW, John Livsey, <br />Engineering, Captain Chris Barry, LPD, Carol Kowalski, Assistant TM for <br />Development, Charles Hornig, Planning Board, Sandra Shaw, Council on Aging <br />John Livesey and Fred Johnson began with a description of how tourist buses will <br />traverse the Depot Lot to get to Merriam Street. Sooner or later the Town is likely <br />to develop this lot. <br />Dave Pinsonneault explained that weekend trash pickup at the Center generally <br />begins on Memorial Day weekend. Basically the amount of funding available at <br />the end of the fiscal yar drives the start date. DPW staff will do a pickup at the end <br />of the day on Friday until then – we are having a bit of a trash issue on weekends. <br />We are still waiting for the replacement of the big belly trash container that was <br />taken out by a car earlier this year. There are barrels that are especially designed <br />for pizza boxes and we might buy one or two of these. <br />There was some discussion as to how to get businesses to police their own trash. <br />We identified four touch points for businesses (ZBA, SB, TM and BOH) that might <br />regulate this issue. <br />Japanese Knotweed is back in Edison Way! Weeding and mowing has begun in the <br />Center green spaces. <br />DPW and the contractor is working on the Streetscape punch list: some bad <br />asphalt will be repaved, some grates will be adjusted, a landscape architect is <br />coming in a few weeks to check on the trees, the new sidewalks will take about <br />two weeks to brick. About an acre of brick was put down in connection with the <br />Streetscape Project. The banner holders are coming. Someday soon.
