This request has been received through <br /> LexFUN, attached is a copy of the program description. During typical times, this request <br /> would be handled with the Committee and Department. Since Special Event requests have <br /> been paused during the pandemic, and this is a new request and event, I am requesting your <br /> guidance to assure decisions remain in line with the Town's reopening phases and plans. The <br /> Lincoln Park Sub-Committee has not met during recent months and has expressed their support <br /> through Recreation Committee member and liaison to the sub-committee, Lisa O'Brien. During <br /> the August 26, 2020 meeting, the following motion and vote was taken: <br /> "Francesca Pfrommer moved that the Recreation Committee endorses the concept of the <br /> temporary story walk sponsored by LexFUN!along the fitness path at Lincoln Park, pending the <br /> approval of the Town Manager, as outlined in the request. Christian Boutwell seconded the <br /> motion. The Recreation Committee voted 4-0 to approve this motion." <br /> I support this request for a temporary installation as it will provide our youngest residents with <br /> a safe, outdoor activity while promoting literacy and celebrating the season of fall and all that it <br /> brings. If approved, Recreation staff will work with LexFUN!, the sub-committee and the <br /> Department of Public Works on this temporary installation. <br /> Thank you for the consideration. <br /> Cc: Kelly Axtell, Deputy Town Manager <br /> David Pinsonneault, Director of Public Works <br /> Recreation Committee <br /> David Williams, Chair, Lincoln Park Sub-Committee <br /> 1625 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE•LEXINGTON,MASSACHUSETTS 02420 <br />
