on the bike path- The display in the North End is nice, <br /> unobtrusive. <br /> b- Ross: The town is hiring on engineer to do a circulation study at <br /> the High School to address the traffic jam problem they have. They <br /> are expecting to 8rmm by 488 students next year. Not sure if <br /> promoting more cycling is part of that. The study will happen in <br /> the winter. Matt: it should be top priority to encourage fewer <br /> cors and more walking & cycling. Simply accommodating more cars <br /> always makes the problem worse. Peggy: Michelle Cicculo once <br /> proposed requiring a permit to use cars to drop off students. <br /> Maybe LBAC should write a letter to School Department. Jim: more <br /> cars is not only bad for the environment, it also poses a safety <br /> threat. We have a Lexington chapter for 2QEjSCA, a mountain bike <br /> club, we should reach out to them. Peggy: someone should go to a <br /> School Committee meeting to raise the issue of discouraging cars, <br /> encouraging bikes. <br /> c. Jim: I'm here today for direction about how to get a bike bus <br /> program going. My daughter goes to Hastings. Would like to post a <br /> sign-up sheet for kids interested in riding bikes to school. There <br /> would be pick-up locations. Z would ride with my daughter to the <br /> pick-up locations to form a train. <br /> d. Peggy: the High School needs more bike racks. Peggy has been <br /> saying that for years- Betty: there are many sources of funding in <br /> town that might pay for bike racks. Peggy: the town should pay. <br /> e- New planning director just started Jen 2. <br /> f- Peggy heard from Mark 5andeen that there might be a pilot for m <br /> protected bike lane in the works. Discussion about best place for <br /> that. <br /> Meet�mg adjourned at 8: 1.4 PM <br />
