Snow Plowing Update : Peggy reported that, based on an agreement between the two DPW directors and in consultation with her, the section between Westview and Wiggins Streets will be plowed alternately by the contractor hired by LBAC and the town of Bedford on a trial basis. She asked for volunteers to shovel after the current storm was over. Mr. Rohi asked the LBAC to come up with system for plowing which would provide a corridor for x-country skiing. Roads Heavily Traveled by Cyclists: Peggy, Dick, Stew, and Bob Dangel met and developed a draft version of a map and spreadsheet identifying roads and streets most heavily used by bicyclists. Bob D distributed two color coded maps – one for rush hour and one for non-rush hour traffic -- and a spreadsheet including information about major routes, roadway conditions, roadway classification, safety concerns, committee recommendations, etc. Bob D asked members to review the maps and said more information will be completed on the spreadsheet as the work progresses. Eventually, the recommendations will be provided to John Livsey to use when upgrading Lexington roads. Richard distributed two color-coded maps indicating which streets are state-managed, major arterials, minor arterials, collector roads, and local roads. This information will be incorporated into the spreadsheet. Design Plans for the Hayden/Spring Intersection for Bicycle Pedestrian Accommodations : Peggy reported that John Livsey has invited bike committee members to review the plans; the meeting has been set for January 19, 8 am at the DPW building.
