The Lexington Center Committee met on Friday, March 26th at 8:30 am via Zoom
and took the following votes:
Sandhya Iyer described two amendments made by the Planning Board to Article
44. Howard Levin supported these changes as appropriate to the Center. Pam
Shadley supported the change to the tree section.
(1) The Lexington Center Committee voted 8 to 0 to support Article 44 as
written contingent on Town Meeting's adoption of the Planning Board's
friendly amendment.
(2) The Lexington Center Committee voted 8 to 0 to recommend to the Select
Board that parking meters be upgraded to the maximum level possible
and that kiosks be placed in the parking lots. The LCC recommends that the
number of kiosks be determined by the real needs of that lot; for example the
number of employee permits in the Depot Lot should be taken into
consideration.
We further recommend that the Select Board seek meters and kiosks that
maximize disability access; and we urge that meters and kiosks incorporate a
pay by phone option.
