Need to be looking ahead not back. Is this comprehensive plan the right place for the future or is there somewhere else we can be changing the mindset of this town. Peggy- did a presentation about this to the CP committee and their consultants years ago, but those consultants are no longer involved and a followup presentation on recommendations never happened. Sheila- Talked a bit about the plan to put in a budget for hiring consultants through Capital Requests for a Bike/Bed plan. Has seen plans from Toole and Alta for other towns, hasn't yet compared with MAPC's plans. It would help improve TSG's handling of sidewalks, traffic changes, transportation changes. Jim worked with Alta in Santa Barbara on a Bike/Ped plan. May want to reinvigorate the Roadway subcommittee between 3 committee members meeting with DPW and Planning. Mark- would like to know what kind of folks you want on the committee, what criteria we want Pursuing inviting High School students to sit on liaison for the BAC. Betty will talk to Stella Carr who recently had many applicants to Sustainable Lexington. Close: 8:27 FoLB/Bike Lexington Treasurers Reponse, spent $5K on the new water fountain at the Depot
