Town of Lexington <br /> Lexington Center Committee <br /> Minutes for the meeting of June 14th, 2018 <br /> Parker Room, 1625 Massachusetts Avenue, 8:40 am to 10:00 am <br /> Center Committee Members: Michael Boudett, Katherine Huang, Frederic Johnson <br /> (Acting Chair), Pamela Lyons, Pamela Shadley, David Tabeling <br /> Liaisons: Joe Pato, Board of Selectmen, Frank Smith, Capital Expenditures Committee, <br /> Melisa Tintocalis, Economic Development Director, David Pinsonneault, Department of <br /> Public Works <br /> Pamela Shadley gave an update on the Streetscape Meeting of June 11. David <br /> Pinsonneault informed us that the intent is to go to Town Meeting for 100% design costs <br /> in the fall and construction costs in the spring. <br /> Melisa Tintocalis let us know that the lighting for GMA has been approved by HDC <br /> and the furniture is out. Melisa thought we might introduce an element (perhaps <br /> planters) from the Streetscape project. (I have a note about 10K from Shire that could be <br /> used for GMA. Are the funds for GMA only, the Center, or what?) Some discussion of <br /> signage for traffic calming in the center ensued. The Parking Management Group has <br /> been looking to add spaces for on street parking. Joe Pato noted that there have been <br /> requests for senior parking discounts. <br /> Melisa discussed the options for the temporary Visitors Center. The Masonic Center has <br /> very bad pedestrian crossings. Melisa (and the Center Committee members generally) <br /> preferred a trailer. Members were urged to check out Bryant Park in NYC (online) for <br /> ideas on how to make the Visitors Center an amenity for residents, including how to <br /> program for Emery Park, Grain Mill Alley, and the Fletcher Street greenspace. The idea <br /> is to make the Visitors Center the hub for information and programming in Lexington <br /> Center. <br /> The quorum voted 6 to 0 to accept the minutes for the MaylOth, 2018 meeting. <br />
