APPROVED MEETING MINUTES Committee Name: Lexington Bicycle Advisory Committee Date, Time and Location of Meeting: October 14, 2010- 7 pm, Room 111, Town Office Building Members Present: Peggy Enders (Chair), Stew Kennedy, John Frey, Marita Hartshorn, George Gagliardi, Laurel Carpenter, Jerry Van Hook, Richard Canale, (Planning Board Liaison), Bob Hausslein (FoLB Chair), Others Present: Luis Melendez Members Absent: Mike Tabaczynski, Peter Kelley (Selectmen’s Liaison), Sandra Shaw (Recreation Committee Liaison) Minutes : The September minutes were accepted as corrected. Subcommittee on Streets and Roads Heavily Traveled: A report from this group was tabled until the subcommittee meets. Hartwell Avenue Area Traffic Mitigation Plan Update: Richard Canale reported on the Hartwell Avenue traffic Mitigation Plan. A draft is on the Planning Board’s web site. Bicycle accommodations will be provided on: Wood Street, Hartwell Avenue, Bedford Street and at the roundabouts. The Maguire Road roundabout may offset the Bikeway crossing at Hartwell Avenue. The connection with the West Lexington Greenway is undetermined. The WLG has CPA funding and representation from various committees; however, its oversight group might benefit from having a more official status. The next public hearing on the Hartwell Avenue plan is Wednesday, October 27. MAPC Bike Rack Program: Marita reported that Dave Pinsonneault will order nine “U” shaped racks and three 6’ triton racks. Two of the tritons will be located at the town pool and in Hastings Park. The other nine will be at various Lexington Center locations as approved by the HDC. DCR Proposal: We are in the process of working with colleagues in Arlington and Bedford to apply for a grant from the DCR for a map, improved signage, and information kiosks along the entire length of the Bikeway. Volunteers will be needed to help with needs assessment. Peggy distributed the preliminary first page of the proposal.
