Town of Lexington <br /> Lexington Center Committee <br /> November 16, 2017 <br /> Minutes <br /> Members: Michael Boudett, Richard Brown, Katherine Huang, Frederic Johnson(Acting <br /> Chair), Pamela Lyons, Pamela Shadley. <br /> Liaisons: Joe Pato (BOS), Frank Smith(CEC), Melisa Tintocalis (EDD), Megan <br /> Zammuto (EDO). <br /> PMG: Eric Gitschier(DPW), David Pinsonneault(DPW), Anne Marie Kelleher(LPD), <br /> Chief Corr(LPD), David Kucharsky(Assistant Town Planner). <br /> Peggy Enders (Bike Committee) <br /> • Dave Pinsonneault gave the DPW update. Eversource has been contacted regarding the <br /> three lights that are out on Mass Ave. The parklett is down. DPW has new electric <br /> blowers and mowers for upkeep in the center, and these should decrease noise. <br /> Joint Meeting with PMG: Dave Kucharsky noted that the Depot lot striping will be <br /> reviewed after July, 2018. Peggy Enders discussed the water draining off the Whipple <br /> Building, and to some extent the Depot Building, onto the Minuteman Bikeway creating <br /> puddles and big icy areas in the winter. She's had difficulty getting a response from the <br /> owner and the management. Mike noted that there we should tell them there may be <br /> liability if there is an injury and Pam L. noted that Lexington by-laws forbid this as <br /> well. Chief Corr gave an overview of changes related to the new parking scheme and <br /> parking meters. Revenue has doubled in the past year; there is less need for <br /> enforcement at the meters, and negative interactions have decreased. The increased <br /> revenue has more than covered the increase in expenses. Center employees are no <br /> longer parking in the desirable core parking spaces. <br /> • Melisa noted that Town Meeting approved$150K for additional design funds for the <br /> Visitors Center. EDD is seeking a capital grant from the Mass Cultural Facilities Fund. <br /> The Bike Share was launched in October. Peggy asked whether information about bike <br /> safety and sharing the road could go out in the spring tax bill. She also proposed <br /> partnering with the EDO and the Center Committee to get more bike information out. <br /> B4796039.1 <br />
