K. F. Select Board asked us to come up with designs. <br /> T. F. E-bike legislation: 20mph is too fast. I hope Massachusetts will <br /> draw the line at a lower speed. Class A should have 15mph max. Class B <br /> should be 15mph too. <br /> P.E. Galen Mook pointed out it's all about speed. If we think 20 mph is <br /> too fast for e-bikes on the Bikeway, we should develop local guidelines. <br /> T. F. 20 mph is not necessarily too fast for a skilled rider when no on <br /> else is around. E-bike riders will be less skilled. 20 mph is too fast. <br /> P.E. Asked shining sea person if 15mph signs are effective. She said <br /> not, but they give us an excuse to say something to people riding fast. <br /> K. F. There is nothing on the Town Meeting warrants pertaining to bike <br /> speed limits or bike path rules. <br /> P.E. At Select Board meeting, Suzie Barry said she doesn't want any rule <br /> that is not also adopted by Arlington and Bedford. <br /> M.B. Can we ask the Board members to try riding 15mph on the bike path <br /> to see how fast it is? <br /> P.E. We need courtesy signs whether or not the speed advisory is <br /> approved. Chief Corr said he would be happy with "15mph recommended" <br /> Maybe the Friends should buy a speed monitor. <br /> K. F. There is a proposal to put 20mph speed "safety zone" signs in <br /> Lexington Center on Mass Ave. <br /> P.C. Some streets already have "congested zone, 20mph limit" signs, e.g. <br /> Baker Ave in East Lexington. <br /> K. F. What about "15mph when congested," "when busy" <br /> T. F. "In traffic" is short. <br /> 3.2 Bike counter <br /> We need more counters. Maybe Friends will buy one. <br />
