<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />APPROVED MEETING MINUTES <br /> <br /> <br />Committee Name: Lexington Bicycle Advisory Committee <br /> <br />Date, Time and Location of Meeting: <br />September 16, 2010, 7 pm, Room G-15, <br />Town Office Building <br /> <br />Members Present: <br />Peggy Enders (Chair), Stew Kennedy, John Frey, Marita <br />Hartshorn, Mike Tabaczynski, Richard Canale, (Planning Board Liaison), Sandra <br />Shaw (Recreation Committee Liaison) <br /> <br />Others Present: <br />Bob Dangel, Bill McKenney, Richard Spencer, Margaret <br />Stebbins, Bob Hausslein <br /> <br />Members Absent: <br /> Peter Kelley (Selectmen’s Liaison), Jerry Van Hook, Laurel <br />Carpenter, George Gagliardi, Abe Shenker <br /> <br />Minutes <br />: The August 2010 minutes were approved. <br /> <br />Bikeway Requests: <br /> Peggy updated us on the request by ALS-Cure to use the <br />Bikeway on May 7, 2011 for a running race. (At our August meeting, we agreed <br />to recommend that the request not be approved due to large numbers on a <br />potentially very busy day). Peggy found out that, in prior years, Dave <br />Pinsonneault had worked directly with the race planners and that the LBAC had <br />not been consulted. Mike suggested we formalize our position on use of the <br />Bikeway for both large events as well as signs and posters. <br /> <br />Hartwell Avenue Traffic Mitigation <br />: The next discussion by the Planning Board <br />regarding Hartwell Avenue will be September 29; at that meeting the draft will be <br />finalized. Richard Canale reported that bike lanes on Hartwell and Bedford <br />Street will be included, accommodations will be made for cyclists on Wood <br />Street, the roundabouts will have on-rotary and off-rotary bike access, the <br />Minuteman crossing will be angled to accommodate the West Lexington <br />Greenway, and the West Lexington Greenway will be incorporated into the plan <br />at Bedford Street crossing by the power line. A final public hearing will be held <br />in mid to late November. <br /> <br />Subcommittee on Streets and Roads Heavily Traveled by Cyclists <br />: Peggy <br />reported that John Livsey has asked us to identify the network of heavily traveled <br />streets used by cyclists. He hopes that such a document, kept in draft form and <br />up to date, will help planning as roadway improvements are undertaken. Bob <br /> <br />
