Eagle Scout Bikeway Project: Nick Briggs presented his proposal for improving the bikeway right-of-way next to the Grant Street bridge. There was some discussion about also removing some of the smaller Norway maples that are growing in the lot. There were questions about where the plantings would be located relative to the bridge and the sewer drain, as well as about the plan for a small stone-dust pathway and bench. Members suggested that Nick talk with the abutters to ensure that they are aware of his plan. The committee agreed to approve the plan in general but asked that Nick talk again with Dave Pinsonneault and provide a more detailed plan in March. Bikes-not-Bombs: There was a brief discussion about the proposal from the people running Farmers’ Market that we collaborate on a Bikes-not-Bombs event in the early summer. We agreed that this project should not be coupled to the bike corral but delayed any further discussion until a later date. Bikeway Plowing: Peggy reported that the Bikeway has been plowed a total of six times (twice in one storm). She and Stew Kennedy have been opening and closing the gates. Bob Hausslein talked about using his snow blower to plow the sides of the gates and bollards.
