APPROVED MEETING MINUTES Committee Name: Lexington Bicycle Advisory Committee Date, Time and Location of Meeting: January 14, 2010, 7 pm, Room 111, Town Office Building Members Present: Stew Kennedy, Mike Tabaczynski, John Frey, Marita Hartshorn, Abe Shenker (FoLB Chair), Peggy Enders (Chair). Others Present: Bob Hausslein, Richard Spencer Members Absent: Richard Canale (Planning Board Liaison), Hank Manz, (Selectmen’s Liaison), Jerry Van Hook, Sandra Shaw (Recreation Committee Liaison), Laurel Carpenter, George Gagliardi. Minutes : The December 2009 minutes were accepted. Our meeting was sandwiched between two meetings of importance to the cycling community. Peggy reported on the CPC meeting that had taken place a half an hour earlier, where DPW Engineer John Livsey presented the Minuteman Bikeway restoration proposal. Meeting Dates : We plan to have our February meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 10 to avoid a conflict with the LWV candidates’ night. Peggy will contact John Livsey to see if he is available. Bikeway Plowing: The bikeway was well plowed on December 9 and 20. (The Treasurer’s report will discuss costs.) There was a marginal storm on the December 19, which resulted in some icing. In the future Peggy will instruct our plower to plow even under marginal circumstances to avoid icing. She agreed to update the list of plowing contributors and send their names to the Minuteman newspaper to give a public thanks for contributions. Peggy handed out FoLB keep-the-Bikeway-clear business cards to give to people we meet so they will know how to contribute. Bedford : Peggy received a note from Terry Gleason saying the town is making progress on the extension to Route 62 along the rail line. Stone dust or asphalt pavement are the two options being considered for the roadbed. Bikes Not Bombs: Peggy mentioned that the Farmers’ Marker would like to work with the committee on a Bikes-Not-Bombs collection early this summer.
