Town of Lexington <br />Lexington Center Committee <br />Minutes for the meeting of November 9th, 2023 held in Estabrook Hall, 8:30 am in <br />the basement of the Cary Hall Building, Lexington, Massachusetts. <br />Center Committee members present: Richard Brown, Upasna Chhabra, Katherine <br />Huang, Frederic Johnson, Jeffery Lyon, Pamela Lyons, Innessa Manning, Jerold <br />Michelson (Chair), Pamela Shadley <br />Liaisons: Doug Lucente, Select Board, Sandhya Iyer, Economic Development <br />Director, Lorraine Welsh, Economic Development, Capt. Christopher Barry, LPD, <br />Guests: Sorabh Kapor, Clay Oven, Sharon Spaulding, 1666 Mass Ave, Sarah <br />Hartshorn, Chamber of Commerce, Carolyn Steven, Wendy Manz, Cristina Lin, <br />Human Rights Committee <br />We began with the DPW update with John Livsey: Center brick sidewalks will be <br />washed down next week, parking lots will be cleaned before Thanksgiving. Battle <br />Green Streetscape: paving is done, planters in the Spring, island is in, almost all <br />curbing is in, some temporary asphalt is in. The roundabout is to slow vehicles, <br />eliminates all left turns. Fred Johnson noted: anything that slows down traffic is <br />better for safety and business – kudos to DPW for doing this. DPW has hired an <br />architect to work on ADA accessibility issues for Belfrey Park. <br />Lorraine Welsh and Sandhya Iyer gave the Economic Development update: the <br />HDC declined to approve the mural in the back of Revival Café. Still nothing for the <br />Bulpan space. There is an agreement for the Bertucci’s space. Abbott’s will be <br />reopening. Nothing on the Signature Stationer’s space. <br />Doug Lucente noted that feedback is the next step for the Housing Feasibility <br />Study. <br />Signs on the Exterior of Buildings: One needs permission from the property <br />owners to post signs on private property. Then we discussed what are the by-laws <br />concerning signs on public property. Capt. Barry confirmed that the signs on Town <br />poles are coming down – the Town is not taking a position on the issue. (The signs <br />are posters of hostages taken by Hamas during the October 7th attack on Israel.)
