Effectiveness of this Act This act shall take effect �pon its passage, and elections for the Town offices described herei� shall ta�:e p�ace in acco�dance with this Act on or after January �, 2025. The provisions of this Act s�all supersede all inconsistent provisions of Chapter 753 of the Acts of 1968, as a�.ended as of January l, 2025. SECTION 2. �1►efinitions Chap�ter 753 of the Acts of 1968, as amended by Chapter 284 of the Acts of 1976, Chapter 120 of the Acts of 1985, Chapter � �7 of the Acts of 2019,and Chapter 3 of the Acts of 202�is he�eby amended by inse�ting Sections 1 A and 1� as follows: Section �A The terms below shall have the following meanings for the p�rposes of Sections lA and 1B: "Batch elimination,"the simultaneous defeat of multiple candidates, as provided in Section 1 B(d). "Co�cluded ballot,"a ballot t�at does not�rank any continui�g candidate or that contains an overvote at the highest-ranked continuing candidate. "Continuing candidate," a candidate who has not been defeated or elected. "Elected candidate," a candidate who has obtained s�fficient votes to be elected, whether there are additional election rounds before the election has concluded, or the election conc�uded after the vote duri�g which they were elected. "Election threshold,"the n�mber of votes s�fficie�t for a candidate to be elected in a multi-seat election. It is calc�alated by dividing the total number of votes counting for conti�.�ing candidates in the first�rour�d by the sum of the number of seats to be elected plus one, disregarding any fractio�s, a�d then adding one. "Highest-ranked continuing candidate,"the continuing candidate with the highest ranking on a voter's ballot. "Last-place ca�.didat�,'' �i) the candidate`vith the lowest vote tatal in a round of the ranked- choice votin,� tabulation; or(ii) a candidate that is defeated in batch elimi�atio�, "Overvote,"a circums�anc�in w�ich a vater ra�..�:s more t�an ar�e�andida��at�he same ranking. "Plurali�y voting,"t�e voting system in w�ii�h the candidate receiving t�e mast votes is declared the wi�.er, even if such candidate does not receive a maj ority of the votes cast in the election. "Ranked choice voting," a method of�astir�g and tabulating ballots in which vaters rank candidates for offi�e in order of preference. "Ranking,"means�he number assigned an a balla�by a�ater to a candida��a express the va�er'�preference for that ca�didate. Ranking�umber one shall be the highest ranking, ra��ing number two shall be the next- highest ranking, and so on. "Skipped ranking," a circumstance in which a vote daes not use a ranki�g and ran�s a ca�didate with a subsc�qu�n�ranki�.g (�.g., a vater casts their va��s a� follows�; (1) Jan� I�oe; (2) Micha�l Smith; �4) Mary Johnson). "Surplus fraction,"the number equal to the diff�rence between an ele�t�d candidate's vot�total and the electio� �hreshold, divid�d by t�e candidatc's vote total. "�'ransfer value,"the proportian of a vate tl�at a ba��ot wil�cau�t ta i�s high�st-rank�d cantinuing candidate, Eac� ba�lot shal� bcgi� wit� a trar�sfer valuc of one. �f a ballot �ounts to the electio� of a candidate under subse�tion 1 B�d)(1), it re�eives a lower transfer value.

Each round shall end with one of the following two outcomes: (1) If there are more thar�two cor�tinui�g ca�didates, no candidate may wir� the seat ou�right by a plurality or majarity vote and instead, after a vate, (i)the �ast-place candidate sha�l be defeated; or(ii) t�e last-p�ace candidat�s sha�l b�dcfc�atud i�.batc�a �1imi�atia�, and a new raund �ha�1 b��i�; ar (2) If there�re two continuing candidates, the candidate with the fewest votcs shall be defeated,the candidate with the most votes shall be elected, and tabulation shall be complete.

(e) Ties shall be resolved as follows: (�) If two or more last-place candidates are tied and batc�elimir�ation applies, each tied candidate to whom batch elimination applies shall be defeated according�y. (2) If two or r�ore co�tinuing candidates are tied but are not in last place, the order of said tied continuing candidates shall be determined by the nurr�ber of votes received by each tied cand�date in the prior ro�.nd; or (3) If two or more last-place contin�.ing candidates are tied and batch elimination does not apply, t�e continuing candidate with the fewest votes i�the prior ro�.nd s�al� be defeated. If two or more continuing candidates were also tied in tl�e prior round (i.e., two co�ti�uing candidates we�e tied in the prev�ous round, but batch elimination did not then ap�ly), the continuing candidate with the fewest votes in the next-prior round shall be eliminated. If two last-place contin�ing candidates are tied at the e�.d of the,��st round and batc� eli�ination does not ap�ly, then the two tied contin�ing candidates shall have a run-off before the next round. The continuing candidate with fewer votes i�the runoff will be defeated, and any remaining rounds in the election will proceed according to this Section 1 B.

The Town of Lexington has been consulted on several occasions about the planned disposition application and appreciates the LHA's position regarding the planning for essential capital improvements of its housing portfolio given the current funding climate. We understand that this application is based upon the developments meeting HUD's definition of Scattered Site Units,being smaller scattered site properties that are not economical to operate as federal public housing. The specific locations of these developments are: 120 Reed Street, 132 North Street, 5 Rangeway, 11 Ash Street, 88 Wood Street, 134 North Street, 31 Tarbell Street, 15 Earl Street, 90 Wood Street, 7 Avon Street, 50 Wood.Street, 130 North Street, 10 Avon Street, 39 Spring Street, 3 Alpine Street, 5 Davis Road, 39 Garfield Street. We understand that, if approved, the proposed disposition will allow the LHA to sell or transfer these properties and/or units to an existing non-profit instrumentality of the Lexington Housing Authority which will operate and maintain them for the long-term as affordable housing. Under the LHA's plan, all existing residents of these sites will be able to remain at the properties with rents calculated in accordance with LHA's current policies and procedures.

Over the last sixteen years, I have served as a board and committee member with a number of Lexington non-profits, PTOs, and town election campaigns.

I would like to join the LCA to help bring our community together through events and projects that inspire and celebrate creativity. I am also interested in learning more about all of the arts here in Lexington. The arts are an integral part of my own life, and in the life of our town. My family and I (husband and two children) are all musicians. We regularly attend and perform in concerts, and it brings us so much joy. I am particularly interested in projects that bring different aspects of the arts together, and with Lex250 on the horizon, there is terrific potential for new ideas and initiatives. I have recently stepped back from a substantial role with Lexington Symphony, and would like to dedicate my volunteer time to another facet of promoting the arts in Lexington. With my skill set, passion for the arts, and deep volunteer experience in our community, I feel I could contribute a great deal to the LCA. . I am familiar with most of the LCA's recent projects, and acquainted with a few current and former LCA members.

Vision for Lexington Committee: Submitted Interests & Experiences / Hello! I am very excited to apply for this committee. In my work, I teach at Harvard Law School in a program called the Harvard Negotiation & Mediation Clinical Program, which focuses on effective conflict management and dialogue.The core of this work involves designing and building opportunities to gather the perspectives of the individuals that make up a community or organization, and to incorporate those perspectives into recommendations for how groups can move forward together. Our program has worked with all kinds of groups, from government agencies to nonprofits to court systems to cities and towns, on complex challenges relating to shared decisionmaking and on which there were multiple differing views. Specifically,we have also done consulting projects involving building shared visions among disparate stakeholders, facilitating retreats to set broad goals, and even contributing to a town's Master Planning process, so I am hopeful that this work in particular maps on with the mission of this committee. I am a trained mediator and facilitator, and also conduct workshops for organizations, teams, housing communities, and many other groups on negotiation and difficult conversations. I am really passionate about developing creative ways to engage communities on important questions and have experience with multiple different methods of outreach that center equity and inclusion, so the notion of contributing to a committee that is seeking to understand and support the town's vision for its future is incredibly exciting to me! del Nido Budish resume - October 2023.pdf lJplc�ad��s�rn� . . . . . . I grew up in Lexington since age 8, returning after college and law school, and now live here with my husband and two daughters (ages 4 and 6). My mother also grew up here, and she and my three siblings and I came up through the public school system.All this to say, I am highly invested in the town, and I would love to have a way to contribute to the present and future of our community.When I read about the work of the Vision for Lexington Committee, I both was extremely excited (for all the reasons above!), and also hoping that my background and skill set might be a good fit and offer the Committee something that would contribute to its work. Most of all, it would be an honor to give back to the community that has been so very important to me and my family over multiple generations, and where I hope to stay for many years to come and continue to make a wonderful place for our kids to live. I also want to thank the Committee for the very warm welcome at today's meeting - I loved hearing about everyone's involvement in this and other town activities, and I was interested to hear about the issues the Committee is working on at the moment. Very curious to learn more! .

These roundabouts are proposed to be much smaller in scale than others in Town. Mr. Sandeen stated that he would like the design team to take into account the proximity to Fiske Elementary School and an existing pedestrian crossing in this area. He noted that he would also like to see all of the plans show the location of existing utility poles. He would like to make sure bike/pedestrian safety is adequately addressed within the Adams and Hancock concepts. He stated that the recommended concept is actually his least favorite,when making other considerations. Ms. Barry noted that Adams Street is free-flowing. She does not support the proposed recommendation made for this intersection at this time and does not understand why preference is being given to traffic on Adams Street. She asked if recent data has been collected for these intersections. Both intersections deal with nearby streets, and this should be taken into consideration. She suggested the design team consider teeing up East Street with Hathaway Street. Ms. Hai also noted that she is not a fan of the recommended proposal at Hancock and Adams. This is a very heavily pedestrian utilized intersection. She leaned toward presented option 1. For the Adams and East intersection, she would also lean toward stop signs. Mr. Lucente stated that he is not a fan of the signalization option at Hancock and Adams. He hopes for additional feedback and other potential design options. Mr. Pato stated that, for the Hancock and Adams Street design,he feels most comfortable with the teed- up stop sign direction. He would like to make sure there is adequate accommodation for multimodal transports and is not inclined to make sure throughput is very high in that area. Tim Wright, SSB Hancock Street, stated that the recommended proposal is the worst possible solution. It greatly increases pedestrian danger at this junction, and it makes life far more hazardous for abutters. The stated obj ective for this proj ect was to improve overall safety, and the recommended proposal is the only one without improved safety as one of its pros. He echoed the comments made by Ms. Barry and Mr. Sandeen. Bryan Clark, 58 Hancock Street, stated that he would like to learn more about past issues with the intersection,including traffic volume, and pedestrian issues. He would like a higher level of transparency regarding this proj ect and would like to be included in the discussion of this proj ect as an abutter. Manuel Navia, 55 Hancock Street, stated that he would like information regarding traffic flow in all-stop situations, as this would be his preference. He noted that there is only one pedestrian crossing proposed and slowing cars down in additional ways would be a small price to pay for increased safety. He echoed Mr. Clark's comments regarding being notified as an abutter of ineetings on this topic. Tad Dickinson, 48 Hancock Street, stated that residents along Hancock Street are interested in reducing speed along the street. He is against the recommended solution, as it creates a speedway from Adams Street onto Hancock Street toward the Center. In the morning, cars already trave140mph-45mph as there is nothing to slow them. While all-way stops would slow traffic the most,they are also the noisiest and most polluting. He would like to see more information regarding a minor regrading of this area in order to create an effective roundabout. Bertina Norford, 56 Hancock Steet, agreed that the recommended proposal would increase speeds and would be more dangerous. She believes a roundabout tivould keep traffic moving and be a better solution. Bernard Gunther,26 Brent Road, stated that all of these intersections are heavily traveled. He suggested that the Board give the instruction to the designers to maximize pedestrian and bike safety, over traffic speed. He expressed concern regarding the diagrams for the roundabouts not being very clear on the pedestrian crosswalks. People cross these interchanges all the time, and it needs to be clear how these will work. Also,when dealing with the Adams Street to East Street connection,there is an existing school crosswalk with the school crossing guard which needs to be brought into the discussion. He asked if this could be an area for a raised crosswalk. Mr. Morrow discussed four potential Cedar Street proj ect options with the Board. This proj ect is related to the upcoming sidewalk construction along this street, and so is further along in the design process. Mr. Lucente stated that he believes the proj ect should slow traffic and discourage cut-through traffic. Ms. Hai stated that the whole point of this sidewalk is to improve pedestrian safety. She expressed concern regarding how a traffic circle would work for larger vehicles, and the location of a stop sign leading directly into a roundabout. Ms. Barry asked if there is a preferred concept for this project. Mr. Morrow stated that each option has its benefits and drawbacks. The consultant currently prefers Cedar Street as a straight through and the Hill Street and Paul Revere Road intersection teed up. Mr. Morrow stated that he is more in favor of a roundabout. Ms. Barry stated that she does not believe the Town wants to encourage flowing through traffic. Mr. Sandeen stated that is a fan of roundabouts,but echoed Ms. Hai's concerns regarding large 18- wheelers accessing a roundabout, and the free-flowing traffic on Cedar Street blowing through the intersection off Hill Street. Mr. Pato stated that he prefers roundabouts in general, as long as adequate pedestrian treatments are provided in the area. Tad Dickinson, 48 Hancock Street,thanked the Town for putting sideWalks on Hill Street. There are many children that access this area. The intention should be to slow down traffic at this intersection. He noted that he very rarely saw 18-wheelers come down this street when he lived in the area. Mr. Morrow stated that Staff will be back before the Board in about a month to discuss the options again.

Discuss Fossil Fuel Free Waiver Maggie Peard, Sustainability&Resiliency Officer, reviewed the Fossil Fuel Free Bylaw(adopted by the 2023 Annual Town Meeting). Section 106-5 of the Bylaw is specific to the process of waivers and the Board,under Section 106-5(F)is authorized to issue guidance to Staff on granting waivers. Staff have developed recommendations to the Board for this guidance for discussion purposes. Mr. Pato stated that his concern is that proj ects would be granted this Waiver for a commercial viability at a level that is less significant than the Board might want. He would like guidance regarding what could be nonviable differences versus gray areas. Ms. Barry suggested including language that all information must be received from an application within a certain number of days in order for the application to be considered complete. Mr. Sandeen echoed Mr. Pato's comments regarding lack of guideline for what financial or commercial viability means. Ms. Peard stated that Staff would take the comments given and revise the bylaw. The Board can review language at a future meeting for final guidance. DOCUMENTS: Fossil Fuel Free Bylaw, Staff Recommendations 4. Approve Planting of Replacement Tree on Battle Green Dave Pinnsoneault,Director of Public Works,requested Board approval for the planting of one new tree on the Battle Green. This tree Will replace a declining tree being removed due to its failure. The replacement tree will also continue to serve as a memorial tree. The new tree will be selected from the Battle Green Master Plan Tree selection. Installation of this new tree would be slated for late fall, along with other Town fall tree plantings. Dawn McKenna, 9 Hancock Street, explained that trees on the Battle Green, especially ones installed in memorial, are supposed to be based on veteran status. This is under the purview of the Board, and she requested this item be tabled for more information. Mr. Pato asked Mr. Pinnsoneault if he could move ahead with installation of the tree, while addressing the memorial at a later time. Mr. Pinnsoneault agreed that this would a possibility. Mr. Pato stated that the Board would later review and potentially vote on a memorial for this tree. DOCUMENTS: 2023.11.01 Memo -Battle Green Tree Planting request 5. Special Town Meeting 2023-1 • Revised Motion- STM 2023-1 Article 7: Appropriate Housing Resale and Rental Monitoring Fees Ms. Axtell explained that the Affordable Housing Trust Board of Trustees recommending Article 7 for inde�nite postponement at this time. • Select Board Article Discussion,Presenters and Positions The Board reviewed its positions. The Board was unanimously in favor of indefinite postponement of Article 7 -Appropriate for Housing Resale and Rental Monitoring Fees at this time. The Board discussed its positions for Article 9 -Authorize Home Rule Petition for Special Legislation— Establishing the Election of Town Offices using Ranked Choice Voting(Citizens' Petition). Mr. Pato, Mr. Sandeen, and Ms. Hai were yeses. Ms. Barry was a no. Mr. Lucente remained a wait. • Motion- STM 2023-1 Article 12: Amend Zoning By-Law-2013-2027 Massachusetts Avenue (Owner Petition) The Board discussed Article 12. Mr. Sandeen remained a wait. Mr. Lucente,Ms. Barry, Ms. Hai, and Mr. Pato were yeses. • Discuss Memorandum of Understanding(MOU) Between AB Holdings, LLC and the Town of Lexington,Massachusetts The Select Board discussed the Memorandum of Understanding between AB Holdings,LLC and the Town of Lexington,Massachusetts. Mr. Sandeen noted that there is a proposal within the MOU to delete a couple of reporting requirements that the owner is currently obligated to inform the Board or Staff of any written complaints of any motor vehicle accidents on site. This item has worked well for some number of years and has given the Board comfort. He would like to see this valid reporting continue. Mr. Pato echoed Mr. Sandeen's concern. Trisha Kennealy, owner, explained why the proposal within the MOU is being made. She noted that she does not envision large parties of approximately 120 people arriving regularly. The Board reviewed Article 8 -Appropriate for Speed Hump Pilot Program. Chief Sencabaugh stated that the Fire Department is against speed humps, due to a concern for response time. Speed bumps can traditionally attribute up to 10 seconds in delay per speed bump when responding. Typically, a fire doubles in size every 60 seconds. Mr. Pinnsoneault expressed concern with storage of temporary speed humps and plowing if the speed humps are proposed to remain in place. Surveying would be needed to find appropriate placement. Chief McLean stated that he has concerns regarding this pilot program. People may start to avoid areas where these speed humps are installed, increasing traf�c in other areas, or people may accelerate faster after the speed humps. Mr. Pato noted that this pilot is proposed for a street for which there are not alternatives for access. The pilot is intended to understand what the consequences are of installation and where are the appropriate locations. Mr. Lucente explained that,while he hears the concerns from the public safety officials,this seems to be a data-driven approach to give the Board extra information in order to find an appropriate solution.

Review and Approve American Rescue Plan Act(ARPA) Requests Mr. Malloy explained that there are three ARPA requests. The first is a$10,490 request from the Recreation Department for therapeutic recreation safety& supplies for non-violent intervention training and supplies. The second is a$15,300 request from the Town Clerk for high-speed scanning equipment to better facilitate mail-in voting tabulation. The third is a$6,250 request from a Select Board member seeking funding for 1/4 of the local cost of a study of particulate matter created by Hanscom Field. The $50,000 study has $25,000 coming from Massport CAC; $25,000 from four adjacent communities; and the other 3/4 coming from three other abutting towns. As shown in the ARPA Spreadsheet, the total amount that has been approved to date is $8,313,868 of the Town's $9,903,3 81 allocation. The most recent requests total $32,040 which, if all are approved, would leave a balance of$1,557,473. The Board was unanimously in favor of the first and second requests. The Board discussed the third request. Ms. Barry asked for additional information on this item and questioned why there is not funding for this item elsewhere than through ARPA. She noted that this item did not come before the Board through the normal format with the supporting materials. Barbara Katzenberg, 37 Moon Hill Road, stated that the group would like to get the study done as soon as possible. The intention is to get as much data as possible While the project is going through an environmental review. Mr. Pato stated that he would like to pull this item from further consideration tonight. He requested information for the full proposal, along with consideration of alternate sources of funding. He will work with the proponents on this item. The Board agreed and expressed interest in hearing more about this item in the future. DaWn McKenna, 9 Hancock Street, stated that she is concerned that there is not ARPA funding being put toward tourism in Town. She asked the Board to make it a priority to request items of this type to be presented by the Town Manager. VOTE: Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the Select Board voted by roll call 5-0 to approve the following ARPA Requests: $10,490 for Therapeutic Recreation Safety& Supplies; and $15,300 for Election Modernization.

Select Board Work Session—Approve FY2024 Tax Classification Options Carolyn Kosnoff,Assistant Town Manager for Finance, explained that this is the second meeting of the Select Board to establish the Fiscal Year 2024 tax rate. On October 23,2023, information was presented to the Select Board on factors that will affect the determination of the Fiscal Year 2024 tax rate. This presentation included a review of the FY2024 approved budget and levy limit,new tax levy growth, and trends on residential, commercial, industrial, and personal property assessed values. On that date the Board also held the FY2024 tax classification hearing to take public comment on the classification options. Today's meeting is for the Board to vote the four items that will determine the FY2024 tax rate. The four votes are to: • Establish a residential shift factor between 1.00 and 1.75 (see Exhibit A of the classification packet); • Determine whether to adopt the Open Space Discount(this is not applicable as the Town has no property classified as Open Space); • Determine whether to adopt the Residential Exemption and, if so,the percentage (up to 35%); • Determine whether to adopt the Small Commercial Exemption, and if so,the percentage(up to 10%) Ms. Kosnoff noted that adjustments to the budget were approved last week at Special Town Meeting. Those adjustments were already factored into the budget as presented in this presentation. Exhibit A in the packet outlines the shift options and what those will look like based on the approved budget. Regarding the small commercial exemption, Ms. Kosnoff explained that Staff previously stated that there are 87 properties in ToWn that have values of under$1 M. This is the first criteria for a small commercial exemption. The second criteria is that the business parcels must have 10 or less employees. For the first time this year, Staff received an electronic list from the Department of Unemployment. This list was used to identify approximately 57 properties in Town that would fully qualify. The assessors did some additional field work and believe there may be more than 57. Some of the businesses on the list may be sole proprietorships, or partnerships. Those businesses do not necessarily have to file with the Department of Unemployment, and therefore would not be on the list,but may still qualify for a small commercial exemption. Staff would be happy to do additional work on this item and present it to the Board in the future. VOTE: Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the Select Board voted by roll ca115-0 to establish a residential factor of 0.886 (plus additional decimals or rounding as needed)to result in a tax shift of 1.75; and further not to adopt the Open Space Discount; and further to not adopt the Residential Exemption; and further to not adopt the Small Commercial Exemption. DOCUMENTS: FY2024 TaxClassification Packet 2. Select Board�Vork Session—Approve FY2024 Water and Sewer Rates Ms. Kosnoff explained that this is the second and final meeting for the proposed water and wastewater rates for FY2024. The Select Board held a public hearing on Monday, October 16th. At this meeting,the Board reviewed the results of FY2023 water and wastewater operations, retained earnings histories,the FY2024 water and wastewater budgets as adopted at the 2023 annual town meeting(including downward adjustments just approved at the Fall 2023 STM), estimated FY2024 water and wastewater usage projections, and preliminary FY2024 water and wastewater rates. Tonight's agenda item is for the purpose of setting FY2024 water and wastewater rates. The proposed rates represent a combined increase of$49.00 or 5.0% for the average Lexington household. These rates remain the same as advertised and presented at the public hearing on October 16,2023. VOTE: Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the Select Board voted by roll call 5-0 that the Board approve the proposed FY2024 water and wastewater rates shown on page 2 of the rate presentation: ResidentiaUCommercial/Industrial Water Sewer Tier 1 $5.06 $9.73 Tier 2 $7.59 $15.89 Tier 3 $ 10.02 $25.27 Irri atio $10.02 NA Municipal $3.46 $3.68 Hanscom/Lincoln Labs $7.46 NA VA Hos ita $8.92 NA Bedford-Wate $3.29 NA Flat SeWer Rate annual NA $445.32 DOCUMENTS: FY2024 Proposed Water and Wastewater Rates 3. Select Board Work Session—Review and Approve Tax Bill Insert—Senior Tax Deferral Program Ms. Kosnoff explained that,under MGL Ch. 60, § 3A(d),with the approval of the Board,the Collector may include non-political municipal informational material with the property tax bills so long as such inserts do not cause an increase in the postage required for mailing the tax bill. The Board reviewed a proposed tax bill insert related to the tax deferral program,which will not increase postage costs. VOTE: Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the Select Board voted by roll call 5-0 to approve the tax bill insert as per the attachment in the packet. DOCUMENTS: TaxBillInsert 4. Select Board Work Session-Presentation: Lead and Copper Replacement Program Kickoff Dave Pavlik,Water& Sewer Superintendent,presented to the Board regarding the Lead and Copper Program. He explained that this proj ect will remove all of the lead pipe from the Town's system. Funding was approved at the Spring Town Meeting by overwhelming support. Staff will be Working with counsel over the wintertime to determine the best way to approach the entrance onto private property. Once the contract has been bid and awarded, Staff will work with the consultant engineer on developing specs and survey for restoration on private property. The actual replacement of a line generally takes approximately a day, and restoration proj ect times on private properties will vary. In response to a question from Ms. Barry, Mr. Pavlik explained that this proj ect will go directly to water meters,but not inside private residences. This proj ect will try to minimize impacts to recently resurfaced streets in Town. In response to a question from Ms. Hai, Mr. Pavlik explained that many of the lines to be replaced were discovered during the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI)proj ect. Other lines will be determined by examining between 10,000-12,000 service cards. In response to a question from Mr. Lucente, Mr. Pavlik explained that it is not likely that this proj ect will deal with any commercial lines, due to the size and material generally used. The Board thanked Staff for the updates on this proj ect. DOCUMENTS: Presentation 5. Discuss Potential Liquor Licensing Expansion Mr. Malloy explained that the Town's Economic Development Department has been approached by local businesses and/or business looking to locate in Lexington that have expressed an interest in having a beer/wine license. These businesses do not serve food. The Board has an existing liquor license policy that requires any licensee to have food service. The types of businesses that have indicated they may be interested include an art gallery, art studio instruction,theater, and microbrewery. The proposed licensing expansion includes language that establishments without food service will be considered on a case-by-case basis, and that establishments without food service will need to be retail services, art or cultural venues, or a licensed brewery/winery. Applicants will need to demonstrate how the alcohol license will enhance the business.Non-food service establishments will be limited to a beer and wine license. Ms. Hai noted that she would like to make sure this expansion create parity for all. The Board agreed that it would like to consider pursuing additional drafts of this item, along with a potential outreach plan.

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY LEXINGTON SELECT BOARD MEETING AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Update on Bike/Pedestrian Plan PRESENTER: ITEM NUMBER: Sheila Page, Assistant Planning Director & Phil Goff, VHB I.3 SUMMARY: Category: Informing Phil Goff from VHB will be presenting the draft Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. The Plan was developed with community input from three public forums, meeting with several committees, and the working group over the course of a year. This is a large body of work to consider in one sitting. This meeting will orient the Board to the P lan's development and recommendations and for the Board to ask questions and to provide comments. It is a lot to take in in a short amount of time. We hope that Board members will follow up after the meeting with further comments. Comments will then be incorporated into a final draft to be presented at a meeting in early 2024. At that meeting, we hope the Select Board will vote to adopt the plan for staff to use as a guiding document to develop annual work plans and the five -capital plan. After the P lan' s adoption, we expect to meet with the Select Board to make more detailed implementation decisions to carry out the plan.

It serves as a guide for the Select Board, Town staff, the Transportation Safety Group (TSG), various committees, residents, and local advocates to work together to accommodate pedestrians, bicyclists, and other active transportation users in a coordinated and holistic manner. The Plan is an action -oriented document designed to help bridge Striped bike lanes, crosswalk and flashing beacon on Pleasant Street the gap between current conditions and what residents and visitors envision for safe, comfortable, and connected bicycle and pedestrian facilities and the policies and programs that support them. This is the Town's first town -wide bicycle and pedestrian plan and provides an opportunity to enhance walking and bicycling safety and connectivity throughout Lexington. 5 Introduction DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan In aggregate, the TBPP includes nearly 300 distinct recommendations. Table 1 Summary of Recommendations by Category �"1. S u ��111111n a ��oy ouuu umu° uul umm ag e iywmulp uum uu It w U Cmuuuu n i uuuuuuuu� Throughout the year -long process, the planning team provided a series of opportunities to understand the needs of bicyclists and pedestrians and the preferred outcomes for the Lexington TBPP. The outreach and engagement included interviewing key stakeholders, bi-monthly meetings with the pre -established Transportation Safety Group "+" (i.e., the TSG plus additional members), three public meetings, and an on-line survey which included a community -input mapping tool. Stakeholder Outreach Primarily in the early phases of the planning effort, Town staff and the consultant team met with a variety of stakeholders with a keen interest in pedestrian/bike safety, safe routes to school, trails, and accessibility issues. Input from the following groups and committees helped with the assessment of existing conditions and informed recommendations for bicycle and pedestrian programs and infrastructure projects: > Bicycle Advisory Committee and Friends of the Lexington Bikeways > Transportation Advisory Committee > Safe Routes to School advocates 6 Introduction DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Representatives of the Conservation Commission and Greenways Corridor Committee High school students from LHS and elsewhere Council on Aging Commission on Disability Sustainable Lexington ty Group i- The Transportation Safety Group (TSG) is a Town Manager appointed group that focuses on concerns and ideas related to traffic safety, public transit, and bicycle/pedestrian accessibility and safety. For the TBPP, additional stakeholders were invited to attend bi-monthly meetings of the renamed TSG+ to help guide the consultant team's analysis and planning work. The group's input influenced the format of the public meetings, the plan's goals, weighting of the evaluation criteria, and the nature of some of the bicycle and pedestrian facility recommendations. Public Meetings Throughout 2023, the Town hosted three public meetings to inform the community of the planning work, to receive input on concerns and ideas, and to present the initial draft recommendations and prioritization. Meetings included: > April 4 at the Lexington Community Center. After an introductory presentation, the 40-45 attendees broke into smaller groups and focused on bicycle and pedestrian issues within four quadrants of the town. Dozens of comments and ideas were incorporated into the draft set of facility recommendations and the TBPP's draft goals. June 8 at Cary Hall's main auditorium. Following a slide presentation related to the initial network recommendations, the roughly 25 meeting attendees gathered at three "theme" tables. The stations allowed for feedback and detailed comments related to the draft bicycle, pedestrian, and safe routes to school -related recommendations, respectively. Attendees also provided input on the highest priority corridors and VHB project manager Phil Goff presenting at the April 4 meeting at the Lexington Community Center June 8 meeting attendees at Cary Hall gather around the maps to discuss draft network recommendations 7 Introduction DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan answered a series of policy -based questions related to the trade-offs between bike and pedestrian facilities and on -street parking along constrained road corridors. September 14 at the Community Center Lunch. Town staff solicited opinions on issues of concern, how to prioritize improvements and how we should consider trade-offs. November 1 at Estabrook Hall within Cary Hall. The presentation included the final draft bicycle and pedestrian facility recommendations, the methodology used within the prioritization process, and the "top 10" highest scoring projects within each category. The 25 attendees then asked questions about the overall plan, clarification on the highest -scoring recommendations, and expectations for implementation over time. 0ii hill n e S u i ii ii Its From April to late June, an online survey was made available to community members. The 17-question survey garnered 374 responses, 91 % of which came from Lexington residents. Questions related to how often they walk and bike locally, the barriers they experience as pedestrians and bicyclists (and for children getting to school), potential counter measures to improve access and safety, current use of e- bikes and e-scooters, and how they would prioritize funding for bicycle and pedestrian improvements in the town. For the latter question, the survey asked respondents how they would like to spend $1.00 (100 pennies) on bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure and programs in Lexington.

Many of the hundreds of online map highlighting input in Lexington Center, around LHS and comments along with those made in person along Marrett Road/Rt. 2A including the public meetings and the Community Center lunch meeting with seniors received provided the foundation for the first iteration of bicycle and pedestrian facility recommendations made by the planning team. 8 Introduction DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Full results from the survey are available in Appendix A. 1g ie,3 uuuumuuuuu „ uuu umuu uuuuuuuuum � „ lip,i uuu umm uuuum u u id I uuummii uuu uuum m The Town has already established momentum in improving bicycling, walking, and rolling with planning work such as the Complete Streets Prioritization Plan in 2016, the Climate Change Resolution in 2017, the Sustainability Action Plan in 2018, Open Space and Recreation Plan in 2022, the Comprehensive Plan in 2022, and the Vision Zero Action Plan in 2022. The Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan builds from these efforts to ensure a level of continuity. M �1 'A C o1 m I III il ° IIIII In early 2023, Lexington Town Meeting approved a rezoning effort as part of the Commonwealth's MBTA Communities Act legislation. Approval amended the Town's Zoning Bylaw and Zoning map to allow multi -family housing "by right" in newly created Village and Multi -family Overlay Districts. Town Meeting's approval also included specific parameters for future projects related to permit process, permitted uses, maximum heights, minimum parking requirements, minimum setbacks, and inclusionary housing requirements. By approving the changes to the Zoning Bylaw, the Town retains eligibility for MassWorks Infrastructure and Capital Project Fund State Grant Programs Areas. The new overlay districts include areas in East Lexington along Mass Ave, various parts of Bedford Street, Concord Ave at Waltham Street, parts of Marrett Road, and nodes along Hartwell Avenue (at Bedford St, Maguire Road, and at Wood Street). Because new multi -family housing will bring higher population density to some parts of Lexington, demand for bicycling and walking facilities in these areas is likely to increase. As such, the planning team took these areas into account when developing recommendations for enhancements to the bicycle and pedestrian network in the Town. VilsilonZero "' IIIII II II (2022) The August 2022 Vision Zero Action Plan explains the goals of Vision Zero and provides context as to why those goals are important for the Town of Lexington. The Plan contains town -wide graphics showing comprehensive reviews of the numbers of crashes, their severity, and which crashes involved non -motorists between 2015 and 2019. The plan also reviewed the equity of future Vision Zero action by determining Communities of Concern using Environmental Justice population data from the 2020 Census. The plan was developed by the firm Environmental Partners. The Vision Zero Action Plan collected data from Town residents who were invited to use an interactive mapping tool to pinpoint locations where they have experienced a near -miss, were involved in a crash, or witnessed dangerous behavior. Another map collected information on locations where the public believed there was missing pedestrian or bike accommodations such as sidewalks, crosswalks, or bike lanes. The Plan determined action items and their anticipated timelines including Short Term (<2 years), Medium Term (2-5 years), and Long Term (5+ years). The Vision Zero Action Plan with a full description of all proposed objectives can be found at ]h t..-- s@ v ii in in m . ov I... c u irn in,. in,. e it ii e 2 22,.....08 30 II......exington ,.....Vision Zero Action IPIan 9 Introduction DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan No specific locations for pedestrian or bike infrastructure improvements were explicitly stated but the plan describes high-level objectives that ranged from making intersections safer to creating an inventory of existing mid -block crossings, to implementation of a low -stress bicycle network. The Vision Zero Team intends to plan infrastructure improvements throughout the Town in the next few years and expectation are that the Town will coordinate recommendations within the Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. °°° IIIII ng"' II II III ° °°° II IIIII II(2022) The LexingtonNEXT Comprehensive Plan was adopted by the Planning Board on September 28tn, 2022, replacing previous Comp Plans from 2002 and 2003. The plan states the following goals (with Objectives 4.3 and Objective 7 call for an inclusive, multi -modal community coinciding with the goals of the Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan): 1. To promote the diversity, equity, and inclusion of people visiting, living, and working in Lexington 2.

The OSRP's primary objective is to expand, maintain and protect open space and other recreation assets in the Town. The OSRP provides a comprehensive review of the natural resources of the town, from its waterways and geology to its vegetation and wildlife. The OSRP also conducted a community survey which asked residents to determine their priorities for the open space in Lexington. Hiking trails, restrooms and paved multi -use paths were determined to be high or medium priority goals for the OSRP. The Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan will consider the environmental effects and impacts of additional or wider paths through open spaces within Lexington. The Plan team will consider coordination with the OSRP team to better manage the goals of both projects. Complete Streets Policy and Complete Streets Project Prioritization Plan (2016) The Complete Streets Policy was approved in March 2016 with the goal to implement Complete Streets elements into the planning and design of all capital projects so that they are safe for all ages and abilities in Lexington. This policy helps to integrate complete streets principles in all transportation projects. The Town will use existing infrastructure planning tools including a pavement management plan (covering all Town streets), a pedestrian facility condition index, a five-year capital plan, Lexington's Tree Management Manual and various GIS transit related maps. Supplementing the Complete Streets Policy, the Complete Streets Project Prioritization Plan (CSPPP) was submitted to MassDOT for future Tier 3 Complete Streets Program funding. The CSPPP included 50 projects focused on safety, ADA accessibility, pedestrian mobility, bicycle mobility, and vehicular operations. Sou t h �� IIIII n g"'t o I "I"' ra II s p o r t a"'t il o II S"'tudy (2015) The South Lexington Transportation study was completed in January 2015 by Fay, Spofford & Thorndike (FST) with RKG Associates. The purpose of this study was to identify the potential traffic impacts of proposed redevelopment project in South Lexington, determine if any additional transportation improvements should be implemented (beyond what has already been proposed), identify priorities for implementation, and provide preliminary cost estimates for the proposed improvements. The Study provided recommendations for additional pedestrian and bike improvements, many of which lie on state roads (and therefore would require close coordination with MassDOT). Recommendations included: 11 Introduction DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Marrett Road (Route 2A) at Lincoln and School Street: new signalization, additional greenspace replacing the north leg of Lincoln Street, driveway adjustments, and a re -orientation of School Street to reduce pedestrian/bike/vehicle conflicts. Marrett Road (Route 2A) at Carey Street and Middle Street: re -alignment of the two closely spaced intersections into a single intersection, more usable greenspace, pedestrian -actuated flashing beacons (installed in 2027), and improved maintenance of overgrown vegetation. Hayden Ave at Route 2 Interchange: replace slip lanes for westbound Rt. 2 off ramp and EB Hayden Ave access to Waltham Street with three new signalized intersections. Concord Avenue at Walnut Street and Pleasant Street: new ADA landings and sidewalk improvements at Pleasant Street (installed in 2079), and a new crosswalk, sidewalk landings, and potential RRFB at west leg of Concord/Walnut intersection. Lincoln Street at Middle Street: square the intersection with stop control for west bound traffic on Middle Street. Shade Street at Spring Street: consider a new crosswalk on the north leg of the intersection. Ac Ili. / il b � I il �� il O (2014) The Pedestrian Accessibility study was prepared by FST and submitted to the Town of Lexington in December 2014. The goal of this study was to create a comprehensive GIS database of all sidewalks and curb ramps, and their current quality. Additional data such as trip hazards and pinch points were also documented. Based on the sidewalk condition index, it was determined that the backlog of repairing and maintaining Lexington's sidewalk network was $7,037,124 at the time of the study'. Figure 3 Sidewalk Condition Index Map Since the completion of the 2014 study, the Town has since established a roughly $800,000 annual budget for regular sidewalk maintenance. 12 Introduction DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan 111111111111111111ra F Fil ii hill ii?&�ilcy The Town of Lexington Traffic Calming Policy was created in 2009 to assist the Town in defining what constitutes Traffic Calming and how residents can request measures be taken on their street. The Traffic Safety Advisory Committee (TSAC) is responsible for reviewing and approving traffic calming measures. If traffic calming is determined to be needed, the TSAC develops conceptual plans and after a public meeting the preferred traffic calming measures will be implemented and monitored. West Lexington Greenway Master Plan (2009) The West Lexington Greenway Master Plan was prepared by VHB and submitted to the Town of Lexington in May 2009. The Master Plan was created in conjunction with the West Lexington Greenway Task Force to "create a detailed picture of the entire area in order to conduct an informed planning process for trail alignment and improvement". A network of trails and paths through open space and conservation lands connect West Lexington and beyond. Environmental and political constraints make further development of these trails and paths extremely difficult. The established network will help to inform potential improvement recommendations in the Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. More information on the specific trails can be found at: ht,. s: .

Safe Routes to School The Town of Lexington coordinates a Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Program3, as part of a larger state, national, and international initiative. The goal of the program is to encourage students to walk or bike to school on selected safe routes by providing route maps and coordinating walking and biking groups. SRTS route maps' for walking and biking to school are published by the Town and MassDOT and provide detail on crosswalk locations, seasonal routes, and the Minuteman Bikeway where applicable. They include the following schools: Elementary Schools: Harrington Elementary, Maria Hastings Elementary, Fiske Elementary, Estabrook Elementary, Bridge Elementary, and Bowman Elementary Middle Schools: Jonas Clarke and William Diamond Middle Schools Lexington High School was recently included under the MassDOT's decision to allow high schools to participate in the program. The Town's Transportation Services department recently created a High School Ambassador program to help promote active transportation options at LHS. Walking buses and bike trains are parent - chaperoned groups for walking or biking to school to encourage physical activity, social connections, and more environmentally friendly trips to school. The SRTS groups coordinate student drop-off and pickup points along the specified routes. Lexington provides an online interest form' for new participants to connect with others to join or lead a group, or to request more information. MassDOT supports SRTS activities such as walking school buses and bike train programs by providing informational resources6 and walking school bus kits which include supplies'$.

Bike Rodeos feature group instruction on the rules of the road, a test as part of the 30-minute obstacle course, and also safety services such as checking the fit of helmets10 and bikes. The events also offer informational stations to provide education and encouragement of bicycling. Helmets are typically provided by donation from Boston Children's Hospital Injury Prevention Program. Volunteers from the Lexington Bicycle Advisory Committee frequently help with helmet fitting for the young recipients. Bicycle lights and reflective arm bands/ankle straps have been distributed as well. Bike Walk N' Bus Week/Month Each May, Lexington hosts an annual week of events each May, "Bike Walk N' Bus Week"" to encourage walking, bicycling, and riding transit. The events included historic walks, guided bike rides, bike commuter breakfasts at the Depot, free Lexpress bus rides to promote the Town's various alternative transportation resources. The Town staff organized the event week, along with the Bicycle Advisory Committee, Greenways Corridor Committee, and Safe Routes to School Committee. S u im m a ry o F Silrogramii ii il o i iiii tiiza tiiiii o i �1 od� The Town created the Sidewalk Request Process in 2017 to facilitate the review/design/installation of crosswalks in locations where residents request them. First, residents must submit a "New Sidewalk Request Form" to the Transportation Safety Group (TSG) which outlines the specific sidewalk location need, as well as the signatures of neighbors. After a staff review and additional data collection from the Town (including reviewing the Pedestrian Accessibility Study — see section 2.8), the Town will also review the Sidewalk Prioritization Tool which accounts for land use mix, proximity to local destinations, and the density of nearby development to create a Sidewalk Priority Score. Comments from the public are then considered along with a full engineering analysis to provide more information on the feasibility of the project. This process is currently on hold pending the results of this plan. 9 Recreation & Community Programs I Human Services Department: Bike Rodeo (K-8) (myrec.com) 10 How to Fit a Bicycle Helmet (helmets.org) 11 ,If ...... ...ps://wwwAouirlle iiing�ton.us/Ihome/eveints/0 4 �63 16 Existing Conditions DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Figure 4 Sidewalk Request Program Sidewalk Prioritization Map Lexington has a structured program for reviewing and prioritizing requests from residents to build new sidewalks throughout the Town12. The Town's 2017 Sidewalk Request Program and Prioritization Tool outlines the steps for residents to officially request a sidewalk, the Town's review process, and the method for approving, funding, and prioritizing construction of feasible sidewalk locations, given the Town's limited resources. The process can typically take several years to complete, depending on the scale and the scope of the request. The prioritization tool, released in 2017, seeks to prioritize requests with quantitative metrics to address areas with the highest existing needs and potential for pedestrian traffic. The tool takes into account various pedestrian trip generators and provides a prioritization score, screening out locations such as state-owned roadways, streets with existing sidewalks, cul-de-sacs, and dead ends. The process for a sidewalk request includes the following phases and steps: Phase 1 - Initial Review • Request Form Submitted by Petitioner13 • Transportation Safety Group (TSG) Staff Review Initial Meeting with Petitioner 12 Sidewa.111k I e .................................................... ............. .................. .... oasts Il....exiiir -ton III Ilexiin t inima. v 13 New Sidewalk Request Form (lexingtonma.gov) 17 Existing Conditions DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Phase 2 - Evaluation TSG Staff Evaluation & Data Collection Collection of Signatures by Petitioner Public Meeting with Direct Abutters and Petitioner Presentation to the Board of Selectmen Town Meeting Request Phase 3 - Further Engineering Analysis Procure Consultant TSG Reviews Results and Makes Recommendation Public Meeting Board of Selectmen Meeting Town Meeting Phase 4 - Design & Installation Because the sidewalk program is resident initiated and then needs a project champion to shepherd the project through the lengthy process, sidewalks were being built in locations that may not be the most effective equitable use of Town resources. The program did provide a clear path to requesting sidewalks but may miss areas that would have a bigger impact on the entire pedestrian and multimodal network. 18 Existing Conditions DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan 2*2muuuuu m umuu ti�Vetwo ��k . The existing bicycling and pedestrian network in Lexington includes sidewalks, curb ramps, crosswalks, walking trails, paved shared use paths, bicycle lanes, and streets designated for bicycle and vehicle mixing with shared -lane markings. The core of the Town's active transportation 14 network is the spine formed by the Minuteman Bikeway with the secondary paths and trails that lace through the Town's open spaces. While the Minuteman is a mostly seamless experience for bicyclists and pedestrians, some road crossings Natural surface shared -use path through Willard still require enhancements to further improve the Woods level of comfort for pedestrians and the many novice bike riders and families. The secondary paths further support bicycle and pedestrian connectivity in Lexington and offer non -motorized opportunities to travel through different neighborhoods. Many of these paths: Require widening to accommodate both bicyclists and pedestrians Lack seamless connections to other on -street bikeways and sidewalks Require upgrades to road crossings to improve safety and comfort 14 Active transportation refers to walking, bicycling (both standard and e-bikes), using micromobility devices such as an e-scooter, and operating a wheelchair or other mobility device. 19 Existing Conditions DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan iIhill ii BiIcycle iii hill tiiies Bicycle facilities in Lexington include shared use paths, conventional bike lanes, and buffered bike lanes. Some streets where people bicycling and drivers must share the road are also designated with shared -lane markings (SLM), aka /Isharrows", although this is not in itself a bike facility. Figure 5 shows locations of existing bike facilities including shared lanes, which are streets striped with sharrows. Although many major roads have some type of facility or treatment, facilities are disconnected, lack a clear path of travel through intersections, and lack important connections to schools, recreation areas, and business areas. Some segments of Mass Ave feature 5-foot-wide, striped bike lanes League . American Bicyclists iFriendly Program Given the current network of on -street bike facilities and off -road paths, along with the Town's current policies and programs towards bicycling, the Town was recognized in 2014, 2018, and 2022 as a bronze -level Bicycle Friendly Community (BFC) by the League of American Bicyclists (LAB). The LAB recognizes cities and towns that have a strong bicycling culture. In this category, Lexington's formal advisory committees, trail enthusiasts, and safe routes to school advocates especially those who run the bike trains help the Town to achieve its BFC recognition. Points are also given for previous and ongoing bicycle planning efforts. The completion of the TBPP at the end of 2023 can be used to bolster the Town's next application to achieve the next highest designation: Silver. 20 Existing Conditions DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Figure 5 Existing Bicycle Facilities hbo, 7� // (� Ir/� / ar JD/ rre� �iiici. oid% f �ii/%r ( ;. %eiii Imp " Bike Shops e fi f 1 � 6 7 a Schools � r �.....

Challenges persist, however, as the popular historic sites and auto -oriented culture induce significant motor vehicle traffic. Promoting slower traffic speeds, eliminating sidewalk gaps, and improving pedestrian facilities at intersections are all critical to enhancing both safety and quality of life for residents. A map of existing trails, walking paths, and pedestrian facilities is shown in Figure 6. The pedestrian network includes on -street sidewalks and curb ramps for ADA access, as well as crosswalks to assist pedestrians to cross major roads or reach significant destinations. Some crosswalks in Lexington include pedestrian actuated flashing beacons, such as the Marrett Road crossing at Middle Street to the Vine Brook Path 22 Existing Conditions DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan 7-igure 6 Existing Paths and Pedestrian Facilities BEDFORD '11 0/11 1 . . . . . . . . . ... r.

With a relatively complete network of sidewalks in many neighborhoods, many hundreds of Lexington students walk or roll to school throughout the year. Even with discontinuous bike facilities near many schools, hundreds of students bike to school as well. Conditions have gradually improved with Safe Routes to School planning efforts and the work of Town staff, school officials, advocates, the Transportation and Bicycle Advisory Committees, and the Greenways Corridor Committee. On pleasant weather days in spring and fall, dozens of bicycles are typically parked at the Clarke Middle School Secure bike parking is still lacking at many schools in Lexington. Well -designed racks are plentiful at LHS and the two middle schools but racks at many elementary schools don't meet industry standards to allow two points of contact so bikes don't tip over. Covered bike parking ideal to promote year- round and all-weather riding to school is lacking at most schools as well. Figure 7 shows existing pedestrian infrastructure as it relates to access to schools. This includes public and private schools, which are shown with quarter -mile and half -mile buffers around them to identify areas where walking to school is most feasible. The Minuteman Bikeway and other shared - use paths and walking trails are also displayed, as these are other ways for students to access schools beyond the street network. Students frequently use trails and off -road paths to access schools when streets lack sidewalks or when it is a shortcut and the most direct route from home to school. However, many of these trails are unpaved and narrow, which can get muddy in wet seasons and icy or snow-covered in the winter, forcing students to use alternate paths or be driven to school. In addition, lack of sidewalks and comfortable crossings also discourage parents from letting their children walk to school. 24 Existing Conditions DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan 7-igure 7 Existing Pedestrian Routes to Schoo' hb, IEDFORD 00/ 4,4 v l S hoos m C URLING,rON 1, Quarter Mile Radius 0 00 Half Mile Radius 0, IN Minuteman Bike Path ..................... - V "Al tabi, ook V, ✓ S id e wa I k s, S 1"i Ix, 4 N /V amp, 11AIsm 00� Walking Trails 1100 000 Shared Use Paths V RIN/b/1.

Bus service provided by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) includes Bus Routes 62 (Bedford VA Hospital — Alewife Station), 76 (Lincoln Lab — Alewife Station), and the combined 62/76 (Bedford VA Hospital — Alewife Station via Hanscom Airport). Local bus service is also provided by Lexpress, which is run by the Town and operates primarily within the boundaries of Lexington; however, it also makes connections to Arlington Heights in Arlington and the Burlington Mall and Lahey Hospital in Burlington. There are routes A1/A2, B, and C, which originate at Depot Square in Lexington Center. Finally, shuttle service to Alewife Station is provided by the 128 Business Council with pickups in Lexington. The Council's REV Bus (Hartwell Area) picks up at Lexington Center while the ALE (Alewife Route A — North) Bus picks up commuters near Spring Street and Route 2 (Takeda Pharmaceuticals) and 1050 Waltham Street (Revolution Labs) in Lexington. Although limited, the transit network in Lexington provides critical service for local residents traveling throughout town or commuting in the region. Transit users often start and end their journeys on foot, so safe and comfortable pedestrian infrastructure to transit is a key strategy to encouraging its use. In addition, many transit buses have bike racks to allow cyclists to place their bike on the bus and take it to their destination to extend the range of their journey. 27 Existing Conditions DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Figure 8 Existing Transit Network V ''so 1 .1/070/01/01f 11"111,/116.1 hb, ool moo MBTA Bus ROUtes EDFORD 3511) LexPres,s BEMs Routes, lk N ,j mulull A I /A 2 URLINGTON B 161 ltk 0 0.5 1 Miles GIS, /,vhi,OOT Av1/4V1(" ["U,Ivll.� C 128 �Busine,ss, Councill N O\ 28 Existing Conditions DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan pi m� uuu uuum uuu uuum iW uuu uuum uuuuuuuuuu 15 m mud im m mi o0 There are many key destinations in Lexington that residents and visitors alike travel to visit.

Parks and recreation areas are also important destinations, including the Lower Vine Brook, Willard's Woods, Beaver Brook, Whipple Hill, Minuteman National Historic Park, and the Arlington Reservoir and Great Meadow. Pedestrian and bicycle facility recommendations considered access to and through these areas to make it more comfortable for people to choose to bike or walk to these destinations. The shopping, eating, and cultural amenities in Lexington Center creates the pre- eminent destinations for bicyclists and pedestrians in Lexington. 29 Existing Conditions DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Figure 9 Existing Paths and Destinationa N Vhb,, BEDFORD Civic/Employment Conservation Areas v '1`1,� Parks/Recreation La nr I bc ked Grocery Stores Bid, 00 j, U K L I I 9 Shopping Districts q Schools j p` V I Minuteman BIII kewa,�y ON, A, ........

Bicycle and pedestrian crash data over a five-year period (2016-2021) was collected and analyzed as part of this project. The severity of those crashes was also reviewed to determine where injury crashes i.e., required medical treatment and/or a trip to the emergency room occurred. A total of 2,868 crashes (all modes) were recorded over the five-year period in Lexington. Out of these crashes, 37 were pedestrian crashes and 79 were bicycle crashes, accounting for 4.0% of all crashes. Bicycle crashes are shown in Figure 10. Roughly 59% of the 79 crashes were injury crashes during the five-year period. Bicycle crashes were concentrated along major roadways, especially Massachusetts Avenue in Lexington Center, where 11 crashes occurred. A significant number of crashes also occurred at the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and Pleasant Street. Bicycle crashes tend to occur on major roads with shared lane markings or bike lanes, where increased bicyclists would be expected. This includes Concord Avenue, Grove Street, Woburn Street, and Hartwell Avenue. There were also several crashes along Marrett Road/Route 2A, which has no bicycle facilities. One fatal crash was reported; occurring on the Minuteman Bikeway in 2019, when two cyclists collided with one dying. Pedestrian crashes are shown in Figure 11. Per the pedestrian crash data collected, 78% were injury crashes. Crashes were concentrated along major roadways and in high -traffic pedestrian areas, such as Lexington Center. Another area with a significant number of pedestrian crashes is the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and Pleasant Street. Other crashes were generally scattered around the town, mostly on major roads, but sometimes on local residential streets. There were no fatal pedestrian crashes recorded over the analysis period. 31 Existing Conditions DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Figure 10 Bicycle Crashes (2016 — 2021) BEDFORD Itz, LUI lro I, N C 0 L N ........................................

This includes development of the plan's goals, incorporating the existing conditions assessment (from the previous chapter), and consideration of stakeholder and community input to form the basis of the bicycle and pedestrian network in Lexington. IN 3*1 eve 0 uuu uu°m e uuuumuVV uumm uu iN IVu�. Development of the bicycle and pedestrian network requires a methodology that considers the Town of Lexington's and stakeholders' goals for the plan, community input, an assessment of existing conditions (including gaps), and bicycle and pedestrian connectivity needs. Helping to form the network are the hundreds of bicycle and pedestrian facility recommendations that eliminate gaps, improve safety, and provide links to area destinations such as schools, business districts, parks, transit stops, places of employment, and historic/cultural sites. Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Goals Through discussions with Town of Lexington staff, the TSG+, various stakeholders, and the general public, the project team developed five goals for the TBPP. These were used to guide the network - planning work, bicycle/pedestrian facility concepts, and the program -based recommendations. Goals were also used as the foundation of the evaluation criteria used to prioritize project recommendations. In aggregate, the goals support improved connectivity and safety for people walking, bicycling, using micromobility, or operating a wheelchair throughout Lexington. The five goals include: 34 Network Recommendations DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan SAFETY: increase bicyclist and pedestrian safety with programs and infrastructure projects CONNECTIVITY: link the Town's existing network of paths, bikeways, and sidewalks with schools, business districts, bus stops, and adjacent communities DESIGN: encourage bicycling and walking with separated/protected facilities designed for all ages and abilities ECONOMY: promote local businesses and sustainable tourism with strategic bicycle and pedestrian investments FEASIBILITY: plan for project recommendations that minimize engineering challenges, can leverage funding opportunities, and build community support ��,�,,3,iicyd�e and �Redes brilan Needs Based on the documentation of current conditions for bicycling, walking, operating a wheelchair, or using a micromobility device, the Town is well suited to expanding the current network of trails, on - street bike facilities, sidewalks, and road crossings to improve active transportation safety and access. To do so requires an understanding of user needs and the gaps within the current network of paths and trails, on -street bike routes, sidewalks, and road crossings, however. Shared Use Paths and Trails The Minuteman Bikeway spine forms the foundation of the off -road active transportation system in Lexington. Supplementing the Minuteman Bikeway are the many shared -use paths, trails, and walking paths that crisscross the Town with varying levels of connectivity. Combined, these off -road routes provide options for many residents to walk, bike, or roll to school or work, for errands, or for recreational trips. Elimination of the gaps between paths and trails is the primary need in Lexington: > Gaps within the Lower Vine Brook trail itself (e.g., at Brookwood Road or at North Street) and lack of seamless connectivity to the Minuteman Bikeway > Missing link between the Lincoln Park/Old Reservoir path system and the Minuteman Bikeway, especially for people riding bicycles > Missing link of safe bicycle passage between the Minuteman Bikeway and Lexington High School > Lack of continuity between Minuteman National Park/Battle Road Trail and the Battle Green and/or Minuteman Bikeway in Lexington Center > Gaps within the Dunback Meadow/Franklin Park area between the Clarke Middle School and Bowman Elementary School and nearby neighborhoods 35 Network Recommendations DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Missing link between trails within Beaver Brook Reservation and Concord Road and the neighborhoods to the north On -street Bicycle Routes Lexington's on -street bicycle network is currently fragmented and features some routes that are not comfortable for novice bicyclists, children, or families riding bikes. Additionally, members of the public have said that streets with shared lane markings are not an acceptable "facility" for bicycling and need to be upgraded to dedicated bike facilities. A well-connected bicycle network in Lexington will likely include a mix of both on -road and off -road facilities. Bike lanes ideally separated or buffered, but otherwise providing a dedicated space for bicycling are needed on roadways with modest -to -high traffic volumes (>3,000 trips/day). Pleasant Street is an example of a busier road with needs for enhanced bicycle facilities but without space for striped bike lanes. On lower volume, lower speed streets, however, shared lanes are possible with painted shared lane markings (aka sharrows) and signage. Also, many roadways, including some major connecting routes, have narrow pavement widths and generally preclude on -road bicycle facilities unless curb lines are moved. Widening streets will impact street right-of-way and utilities, leading to significant project expense and complexity. These streets typically have high speeds and volumes which make sharing the road with cars difficult and uncomfortable. As such, traffic calming elements may be best for narrower, collector streets to enhance comfort levels for bicyclists sharing the roadway with motor vehicles. In the long term, however, the Town should consider widening the roadway to accommodate dedicated bike lanes. Sidewalks Needs for the sidewalk network were identified by reviewing public input through the online survey, the map -markup activity at the first public meeting, discussions with stakeholder groups, and documenting the apparent gaps in the network where sidewalks end mid -block and/or are disconnected from sidewalks further into the network. Connections to key destinations are also critical when considering sidewalk gaps, to allow safe and comfortable passage to places such as commercial areas, parks, and schools. In addition to new sidewalks, sidewalk improvements are needed in different places to address maintenance issues and narrow or ADA-deficient sidewalks. Although some sidewalks are needed in residential areas, there are still major sidewalk needs on some major roads, which have higher traffic volumes and speeds that making walking along them unsafe without a separated pedestrian facility. Crosswalks The primary sources used to determine locations of new or improved crosswalks included public input from the online survey and public meetings, and the intersections identified as needing new crosswalks or improvements by the planning team. One source was the ACROSS Lexington Trail 36 Network Recommendations DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Network15, which had identified areas in the network where crosswalks exist to facilitate travel through the network, and locations where crosswalks are still needed to assist with network connectivity. Notably, most of the missing crosswalk locations are in the northern part of town east of Bedford Street and south of 1-95. Crosswalk improvements were identified based on public input from the public survey and through the map -markup activity from the first public meeting. Requested crosswalk improvements often included locations where people are concerned about speeding, lack of motorist yielding, locations where the crosswalks have not been updated to continental/zebra crosswalks, or there are sight distance issues. I uuuumui IVI' illluu u 1'131mm mi uuutwo m, ululuU Based on the assessment of existing conditions, desired links to destinations, and the needs described above, the planning team developed recommendations for a well-connected bicycle network. The network is comprised of a mix of shared use paths (through open space and within roadway ROWS), roadways with shared lanes (some with traffic calming measures) and striped bicycle lanes. The latter features separated bicycle lanes (SBLs), standard 5-foot-wide bike lanes in both directions, and one-way uphill climbing lanes. In most cases, the one-way bike lanes are intended to be short-term improvements where current roadway width precludes bike lanes on both sides of the roadway, e.g., Concord Avenue or Woburn Street. Many of the bike lane recommendations can be incorporated into scheduled roadway maintenance and/or repaving projects with minimal additional funding. Bicycle network recommendations include several discrete improvements at intersections intended to improve safety and access for bicyclists and pedestrians. This ranges from tightening corner turning radii to slow traffic, to striping green bike crossings adjacent to crosswalks, to a full reconstruction to square off intersections, simplify the intersection geometry, and/or dramatically reduce bicycle/pedestrian crossing distances. The Mass Ave/woburn St/Fletcher Ave/Winthrop Rd intersection is very complex and creates challenges for bicyclists and pedestrians to navigate one of the key gateways to Lexington Center. 15 See:III.;I,://v�r.11eiiir�tc�ir�iro/, 1/ SS II....,eiiir�tc�ir� IIIIF l3irlf�uire 11 37 Network Recommendations DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan BEerr, ORD TOO "IC Ad rt` R L I N G TO N o Y 4p, V -P ""n '151 ""AX, ti �0'00� 6, � ' 1'u� �" row ,��4 'pA . ....... a/ OIL' HE i 7, , W 0R Nv000B IJ JY o � / � ,,,,,' ,�,�..; 6 .�' ,.,. °�`��. �r„ i -� ,;.,�. ,� W ,i � , � p� � PAfX°m I �cl G.. ^� �", * � � �° �, �j fff J A/V V, % n W A Ur 11-4 A 111",111, to N 2 Miles Existing Bike Lanes.

The toolkit is intended to help the Town of Lexington Public Works and Planning Department staff create more bike -friendly roadways, and to provide consistency of bicycle facility design treatments. The descriptions and images below are not intended to impose inflexible standards and should be considered on roadways throughout the town where future improvements are recommended. Note that the examples presented in the Bicycle Facilities Toolkit should not be considered a substitute for more thorough evaluation by Town staff and/or their design consultants. They may require further analysis and engineering judgement based on local conditions and community concerns and are intended to complement other state and national design manuals, including: Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices MUTCD (2009) AASHTO Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities (2012) Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Separated Bike Lane Planning and Design Guide (2015) MassDOT Separated Bike Lane Planning and Design Guide (2015) FHWA Bikeway Selection Guide (2016) Guidance to Improve Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety at Intersections, National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP), 2020 Bike Lanes Bicycle lanes designate a lane for the exclusive use of bicycles via roadway pavement markings and signage. Reducing travel lane width to 10'-11' provides space for standard 5'-wide bicycle lanes. They typically are added to roads with extra wide travel lanes or, in some cases, to replace parking where demand is low. When bike lanes lie adjacent to on -street parking, if space is available, a wide parking aisle or 2' buffer between the bicycle lane and the parking aisle decreases the likelihood that bicyclists will be struck by opened car doors of parked vehicles. Bike Lane, One Way Similar to what is described above but only in a single direction due to constrained pavement width. Typically, the bike lane is incorporated in the uphill direction and used as a climbing lane. In the downhill direction where bicyclists riding at higher speeds can theoretically "keep up with traffic" shared lane markings (aka sharrows) and signage are included. Along undulating roadways, the bike lane should be maintained in the direction that is predominantly in the uphill direction. Only where the slopes change direction for more than 1,000 linear feet should the bike lane direction be reversed. This ensures more predictable and consistent treatment for people both driving and riding a bicycle. 39 Network Recommendations DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Separated Bike Lanes (Directional) Directional Separated Bike Lanes (SBLs) run on each side of the roadway, at street -level, and use a variety of methods for visual or physical separation from passing traffic. A striped buffer plus a motor vehicle parking aisle, flexible delineator posts, or other vertical elements provide separation from motor vehicle traffic. SBL treatment is one of the best ways to create an "all ages and abilities" bicycling environment on busy streets such as Mass Ave, Worthen Road, or Bedford Road. Separated Bike Lanes (Bi-directional) Bi-directional SBLs allow two-way travel for bicyclists on one side of the street. The bike lanes are typically 10' wide (total) with an adjacent, 2'-3' wide buffer. Additional design considerations at driveway and side -street crossings are required to reduce conflicts. Bi-directional SBLs work best on: • one-way roads such as Muzzey Street, roads with long blocks and few curb cuts, and; • roads with destinations that lie primarily on one side of the street. According to FHWA's Developing Crash Modification Factors for SBLs (FHWA HRT-23-078) report, incidence of crashes can be reduced by 50% when delineator posts are also included within the striped buffer and up to 64% when a more solid vertical elements such as a concrete barrier or planter boxes are included. See: s.- J/h ublicats - Shared Street with Traffic Calming A shared street includes general purpose travel lanes marked frequently with shared lane markings (SLM and aka sharrows) used to encourage bicycle travel and proper bicyclist positioning within the lane. Under many conditions, SLMs may be placed in the middle of the lane to discourage unsafe passing by motor vehicles. SLM's are ideally used on low -volume roads with prevailing traffic speeds of <25 mph and are not to be used on roadways with posted speeds greater than 35 mph. For collector roads with 30 mph posted speed limits, traffic calming measures such as speed humps or chicanes should be considered to create a more comfortable environment for less experienced bicyclists. 40 Network Recommendations DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Intersection Improvements In the context of the TBPP, Intersection Improvements include a variety of design revisions at an intersection to improve access and safety for bicyclists and pedestrians. Options include: Green bike crossings (see photo) Reduction of corner radii to slow turning traffic Bump outs, potentially with rain gardens Full intersection reconstruction/7-ing" the roadways Sidepath Whereas shared -use paths run within former rail corridors, along rivers, and through parks, sidepaths are located adjacent to and parallel with a roadway. Sidepaths can offer a high -quality experience for pedestrians and bicyclists of all ages and abilities compared to on -road facilities in busier traffic environments. Additional design considerations at driveways and side street crossings are also needed for sidepaths to address conflicts between bicycles going in two directions and motor vehicles. Supplemental Bicycle Network Recommendations To help implement and support the individual roadway recommendations that form Lexington's future bicycle network, a handful of base -level recommendations should be considered. All local roadways should include 10' wide travel lanes. Along MBTA bus routes and/or roadways with heavy truck traffic should be 10.5'-11' wide depending on available space. These slightly narrower lane widths can provide additional space for striped bike lanes and/or a wider road shoulder without impacting roadway capacity or safety. 16 For roadways recommended for future bicycle lane treatment, green pavement markings should be considered at locations where conflicts between bicyclists and motor vehicles are more likely. This includes at all cross streets, at commercial driveway curb cuts, and at locations where motor vehicles cross the bike lane to access a right turn lane. According to FHWA's Bikeway Selection Guide matrix below (see Figure 9, page 23 of the ii..., cti n G..._gilde doct.gov ), standard 5'-wide bike lanes should be used on roads with traffic speeds below 35 mph and/or with traffic volumes of less than 7,000 vehicles per day. As such, where bike lanes are recommended along roadways with posted speed limits that exceed 35 mph (e.g., Waltham Street between Brookside Ave and Hayden Ave), consideration should be taken to either widen the roadway to accommodate SBLs 16 There are a number of studies that indicate narrower traffic lanes —even as low as 9 feet —do not impact traffic flow or lead to increased side swipe or other motor vehicle crashes. Many show 10'-wide lanes lead to slower speeds and enhanced safety for bicyclists.

The network is comprised of a mix of shared use paths (through open space and within roadway ROWs), walking trails, new and improved sidewalks, new and improved crosswalks, a n d the intersection improvements described in the Bicycle Network Recommendations. These include tightening corner turning radii to slow traffic, adding corner bump outs, or a full reconstruction to square off intersections, simplify the intersection geometry, and/or dramatically reduce pedestrian crossing distances. 42 Network Recommendations DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan OMT ms� jr L 71 16 WOBURN 70, 'W" 11 ARLINGTON suveII J' .. . . ................ /'/'� j j m.

The toolkit is intended to help the Town of Lexington Public Works and Planning Department staff improve pedestrian comfort and safety on Town roads, especially near schools, parks and senior centers. Many of these improvements can be incorporated into scheduled roadway maintenance and/or repaving projects without a high level of additional funding. The descriptions and images below are not intended to impose inflexible standards and should be considered on roadways throughout the town where future improvements are recommended. Note that the examples presented in the Pedestrian Facilities Toolkit should not be considered a substitute for more thorough evaluation by Town staff and/or their design consultants. They may require further analysis and engineering judgement based on local conditions and community concerns and are intended to complement other state and national design manuals, including: Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices MUTCD (2009) AASHTO Guide for the Planning, Design and Operation of Pedestrian Facilities (2021) ITE Resource Guide to Traffic Calming Measures? Walking Paths and Trails The path and trail recommendations within the Lexington TBPP range from rustic walking paths 2'-5' wide dirt or woodchip paths to 8'-10' wide stonedust paths that are fully accessible and can accommodate both pedestrians and bicyclists. Although the precise alignments for these future paths and trails are not fully articulated in this plan, high- level recommendations are made for improved and new trails through public properties managed by the Lexington Conservation Commission, Lexington Public Schools, the Recreation Department, and other Town -owned parcels. Sidewalks (Improved and New) Sidewalks in residential neighborhoods should be at a minimum of 5 feet wide but can be 4 feet wide in constrained areas. A 4'-8' wide planted buffer should be planned between the sidewalk and the roadway where possible. This buffer improves the walking environment, enhances livability of the neighborhood, and can act as a furniture zone for utility poles, benches, and mailboxes. Where off-street parking sits at or near the edge of a parcel adjacent to a sidewalk, a landscaped buffer should be considered. 18 Per the photo at right, this provides a more 17 See: https://www.ite.org/technical-resources/traffic-calming/traffic-calming-measures/ 18 Made need to be explored as an amendment to Lexington's Zoning Bylaw since these buffers would likely sit outside of the public right of way 44 Network Recommendations DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan welcoming environment for pedestrians and ensures that car bumpers do not encroach into the sidewalk space. Crosswalks (Improved and New) Where they aren't already in use, hi -visibility crosswalks should be striped at key pedestrian crossing locations and at signalized intersections. They should not strand pedestrians, however, and should lead to sidewalks on both sides or at least pedestrian safety around the corner if a sidewalk is not present. A piano key (aka "continental") or striping pattern enhances visibility of the crosswalk relative to a simple pair of perpendicular lines which are difficult for drivers to perceive. Except at signalized intersections, crosswalks should be signed with a doubled W11-2 PEDESTRIAN CROSSING SIGN and W16-7p ARROWS assembly supplemented with R1-6 IN -STREET PEDESTRIAN CROSSING SIGN which increase drivers' awareness of the crosswalk, especially at night (as clearly displayed in the photo of a crosswalk on Adams Street at Hathaway). Pedestrian Safety Countermeasures The treatments included in the Pedestrian Facilities Toolkit illustrate the variety of design treatments for use along roadways, at intersections, and at pedestrian crossing locations in Lexington. Selection of the appropriate treatments is based on a variety of factors including the land use context, street width, number of travel lanes, and the speed and volume of roadway traffic. Most treatments have been shown to improve pedestrian safety as suggested in the FHWA Proven Safety Countermeasures report from 2008 and 201719. As Town staff seek the appropriate pedestrian facility for the improved and new crosswalks within the Pedestrian Network, they should focus on 1) motor vehicle traffic volume, 2) traffic speeds, and 3) the number of travel lanes on a given roadway. Options for determining the appropriate pedestrian facility treatment at road crossings either raised crosswalk, curb extensions, median refuge island, RRFB, or others is presented in the table on the following page. "Table 1" is pulled from FHWA's 2018 Guide for Improving Pedestrian Safety at Uncontrolled Crossing Locations (aka the "STEP Guide"). The STEP Guide's table includes a matrix broken down by the four roadway conditions including traffic volume, speed, number of lanes, and presence of a raised median. Note that Table 1 below should be considered guidance only; the professional judgment of a licensed transportation engineer is required before the pedestrian treatment is formally selected and implemented. 19 See: https://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/provencountermeasures/ 45 Network Recommendations DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Table I., Applica!,"ion of pedes!'i�,�'iiar� coLiri�,ter,"i,,,,.,��eaSL�,�res by roc,�idw(,','iy fech,,iiire, Posted Speed Lim'J"t and,AADT Velh, idleAAD"T <9, 0,010, 'Veiiicil�eAA�D(T"9,,00,0�-1,5,,000� Veh� ic AADT > 15,1000 ......... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ... . ....... ............ ............ . ....................... .......... ............. . ....... . .................. .................................... ............... ..................... ................................

With painted chevrons on the ramp up, raised crosswalks create a visual cue that forces drivers to slow down on the approach and function similarly to a speed hump. 46 Network Recommendations DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Crosswalk with Speed In lieu of a raised crosswalk, a similarly -effective treatment could include a pair of speed humps that flank an existing or recommended new crosswalk. This design very effectively slows motor vehicle traffic on Middleby Road at the Vine Brook Path crossing to Bridge Elementary School. Curb Extensions/Bump Outs Curb extensions improve visibility for those waiting to cross a roadway and reduce the crossing distance for pedestrians. They also help to calm traffic by creating a visual "pinch point" in the roadway and reducing the typical turning radius for motor vehicles. They are most typically used in conjunction with on -street parking lanes. Median Refuge Islands Median refuge islands are protected spaces for pedestrians in the center of a street, especially critical for 4 or 6-lane roads. They provide an opportunity for pedestrians to pause between directions of traffic, obviating the need to wait for traffic to stop in both directions before crossing a street. According to FHWA's Proven Safety Countermeasures report, they reduce crosswalk -related crashes involving pedestrians by 56%. Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) are pedestrian -actuated warning beacons located at unsignalized intersections or mid -block crossings. The increase motorists' awareness of pedestrians and work well in conjunction with curb extensions and high - visibility crosswalks. According to FHWA's Proven Safety Countermeasures report, they reduce crosswalk -related crashes involving pedestrians by 69%. Supplemental Pedestrian Network Recommendations To help implement and support the individual roadway and intersection recommendations that form Lexington's future pedestrian network, the Pedestrian Facility Toolkit should be supplemented by a handful of base -level recommendations for both infrastructure and maintenance. 47 Network Recommendations DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan All crosswalks at signalized intersections should include pedestrian countdown signals with an audible crossing beacon and lead pedestrian interval (LPI). Countdown signals with audible beacons help pedestrians know when it is safe to cross and how much time remains for the crossing interval. With the countdown signal heads installed, an LPI (see photo) can be incorporated easily into the signal cycle. The LPI provides a 3-5 second interval prior to a green light so that pedestrians can begin their crossing movement before turning motor vehicles. According to FHWA's Proven Safety Countermeasures report, countdown signals with LPI 's reduce crosswalk -related crashes involving pedestrians by 60%. All crosswalk locations should be well lit so pedestrians are visible at night. It is estimated that roughly 75% of ped fatalities in the US occur after dark20. Crosswalk lighting not only increases conspicuity of pedestrians but allows them to avoid uneven or broken areas of pavement and increases the sense of comfort and security. Good lighting, at crosswalks and along sidewalks can improve the sense of place in a residential or commercial area. All crosswalks should be signed with, where appropriate, advanced warning signs; in addition, all crosswalks across or running parallel to/adjacent to collector and arterial roads with a minimum of 1,000 vehicle trips per day should be painted. Crosswalk signs as described about should be mounted on both sides of the sign pole so motorists have visual warning at each end of the crosswalk ahead from both directions of travel. Where crosswalks lie at stop -controlled intersections, a minimum 12" wide stop bar should be striped 4 feet in front of the crosswalk, ideally in line with the adjacent pole - mounted stop sign. A significant portion of pedestrian traffic is generated by those wishing to access public transit. During winter, pedestrian access to MBTA or Lexpress bus stops must be kept clear of snow and ice to ensure access. When reaching the bus stop in any weather condition, bus riders especially seniors or those with a disability deserve the opportunity to sit and be free from rain or snow. Shelters with benches should be considered at bus stops with modest -to -high ridership and where space is available. 20 Gov's Hwy Assoc, Ped Traffic Fatalities by State: 2021 Prelim Data (Jan -Dec); see: https://www.ghsa.org/resources/Pedestrians22 48 Network Recommendations DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan IIIII ou muppll uul m m I uul III ulllll"uuuuum umu uuum uuuum � IVuul uuuum uuuuuuuuu � I I uu luu uuumu� I I I umul umuuu I I I P .um IIuumulllll I mi II The Town of Lexington commitment to improving walking and bicycling in the community is expressed through its commitment to updating their prior Pedestrian & Bicycle Master Plan and for existing policies and programs that support access and safety for pedestrians and bicyclists. As part of the process for developing the plan, the planning team reviewed existing policies and programs in the areas of Engineering, Encouragement, Education, Enforcement, Equity, and Evaluation, frequently called "the six E's". Where gaps exist in the six E's, recommendations were developed in each category. Besides gaps in existing policies and programs, the team identified potential additions or improvements. The tables below contain the policy and program recommendations for the Town along with key stakeholders and regional partners to consider in the short, medium, and long term. Lexington benefits from a wealth of knowledge and skill from the volunteers that participate in the Town's various advisory committees. Many were instrumental in starting programs and initiatives concerning pedestrian and bicycle mobility. The Town should continue to leverage their expertise as a resource. .

Monitoring efforts to increase walking and bicycling in Lexington and planning for the future 49 Network Recommendations DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Engineering Policies and Programs (Design) Program Construction -related impacts to pedestrian and bicycle facilities Warning signs and/or pavement markings at discontinuous bike lanes Program Need On occasion, street maintenance or construction operations can create hazardous conditions and/or block access for pedestrians, bicyclists, and people with disabilities. Instances where dedicated bike lanes terminate typically leave bicyclists with no advanced warning. Some riders may abruptly swerve into the nearby travel lane rather than carefully merge, creating a hazard. Recommendation Consider adopting a Town policy that details requirements for maintaining safe access through construction zones for people walking, bicycling, or with disabilities. This expectation can be included in the bid documents. At minimum, provide an advanced warning sign so both bicyclists and motorists know that a bicyclist merge should be expected into the travel lane. To improve merging conditions, MUTCD W9-XX signs indicating "(Bike) LANE ENDS" with a "150 FT" plaque should in installed in all conditions where bike lanes terminate, e.g., Mass Ave westbound between Woburn and Grant Street Engineering Policies and Programs (Public Works Department Efforts) Mobile App for Reporting Maintenance Issues (to supplement the online reporting system) Repaving of the Minuteman Bikeway Need When out and about, residents don't always have a convenient method to report problems within the public right of way that impact people walking, bicycling and those with disabilities. Due to the ever-increasing popularity of the Minuteman Bikeway, the paved 10-foot- width can feel constrained for users, especially on weekends and in areas near Lexington Center. Clearing snow and ice In current practice, all roads are from sidewalks and bike cleared first and then the lanes sidewalks. While the timing of 50 Network Recommendations Leadership Lexington Planning Department, Public Works, Bicycle Advisory Committee, and Commission on Disability Lexington Planning Department, Public Works, Transportation Safety Committee, and Bicycle Advisory Committee Recommendation Leadership Development of a mobile phone app could allow residents to report damaged sidewalks, pavement defects in bike lanes, and other potential hazards so that the Town can track work orders and maintenance requests to Public Works. In areas that are not constrained by adjacent wetlands or natural/cultural resources, include 2-foot-wide stonedust shoulders on one or both sides of the Bikeway during scheduled repaving projects. The timing of snow clearance from roads (especially roads with bike lanes) and sidewalks should Lexington Public Works Department Lexington Public Works Department, Conservation Commission, and the Bicycle Advisory Committee Lexington Public Works Department, Planning Department and the DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Program Plowing the Minuteman Bikeway Ice and snow build-up at the base of sidewalk pedestrian ramps Late summer vegetation impeding pedestrian and bicycle mobility Need clearing the roads and sidewalks depends on the duration and intensity of winter storms, typically sidewalk clearing happens well after the streets. In addition, many network sidewalks are cleared by other agencies such as MassDOT on Marrett Road. Plowing on the Minuteman Path is done using donations and coordinated by the Friends of the Minuteman Bikeway. (Other paths are simply not plowed.) Although a terrific program, it does not guarantee funds will be available in the long term. Due to the local climate's freeze/thaw cycle, puddles that form at the base of pedestrian ramps frequently freeze overnight and create a hazard for all pedestrians. Overgrown vegetation will sometimes block sidewalk, paths, and bike lane segments and impact pedestrian and bicycle access, visibility, and safety. Recommendation be based on demand and user safety. As such, the Town should develop a prioritized schedule of snow removal for a blend of both roads and sidewalks using common criteria. This may result in snow removal from critical sidewalks —especially routes used by school children —prior to complete snow removal from some local streets. Although there is some assurance that private funds can be raised to plow the Minuteman Bikeway, Public Works winter maintenance budget should include funds to plow other paved paths, especially those leading to public schools and parks. Pending Public Works staff capacity, sidewalk clearance should include particular attention to snow and other debris near sidewalk pedestrian ramps. The Town could consider an ordinance that requires abutting property owners to keep both sidewalks and pedestrian ramps clear of snow and ice. Keeping overgrown vegetation in check, especially in late summer just prior to the new school year, should be part of Public Works sidewalk maintenance routine. If staff constraints are anticipated, consider bringing in a short term landscaping company vendor. Leadership Commission on Disability Lexington Public Works Department and Friends of the Minuteman Bikeway Lexington Public Works Department, the Transportation Safety Group, and potentially the Select Board and/or Town Meeting Lexington Public Works Department 51 Network Recommendations DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Encouragement Policies and Programs Program Online promotion of walking and bicycling Roadway User Courtesy Program Need Promoting Lexington as a place for people to choose to walk or bike for transportation and recreation can encourage more residents and visitors to avoid driving for some trips. A better understanding of the needs of vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians and bicyclists. Enhanced courtesy between those driving, walking, and bicycling is intended to improve safety for all. Designate a loop route within Town limits on designated roadways via wayfinding signage. While Town staff are provided parking at no cost, the number of Town employees using transit, or walking or bicycling to work is low. Some schools lack plentiful and quality bike parking, some of which should be covered (which currently only exists at LHS and the middle schools). The "grid" or "comb" style racks at some schools don't meet standards. Recommendation Leadership Provide more information related to walking and bicycling on the Town of Lexington web site (e.g., on the Parks and Rec page). Create a map that focuses solely on travel without a car. The map and/or mobile app would feature sidewalks, paved trails, and paths; bikelanes, multiuse paths and side path with bus stops included. This information could enable a non -car traveler to plan a safe and comfortable route. Perhaps called "Lexington Nice", the campaign can be modeled after the "Newport Waves" program in Newport RI. (NOTE: the Newport Waves program is propriety protected). The successful effort included a 1 min video which featured local personalities, street banners, and posters in storefront windows. See: .:..p...m / ii kein.................� oirtirii ryoir /ii ntirod uc:jin ne oirt,..., eves/ Designated a bicycle loop within Town limits on designated roadways via wayfinding signage. Provide incentives to Town staff to encourage active transportation; this can come in the form of financial incentives— e.g., Portland OR provides $25/month stipend for those who commit to walk or bike 4 days/week—and facilities, such as secure indoor bike parking and shower/locker facilities where possible. While most schools provide bike parking, others are lacking. Bike racks should meet current industry standards to make bicycle parking convenient, accessible, and secure.

Bike racks not only satisfy demand for bike parking but can strengthen the Town's brand. Education Policies and Programs Children walk and bike safety program Free Bike Safety Equipment Bicycle Maintenance Courses for Adults Need Elementary and middle school children do not always have a full understanding of traffic safety and laws for walking and bicycling. Some adults and children do not have helmets, lights, and other safety equipment on their bicycles. Even teenagers and adults who feel comfortable riding a bike in a variety of context do not always know proper maintenance skills. Recommendation The Zoning Bylaw should be expanded to require a minimum number of short and long-term bike parking spaces for all development projects. Development of a bike parking guide similar to Arlington's will help developers understand design issues and select products that meet industry standards". New, creatively designed bike racks should be well placed and help to further Lexington brand as a historic destination for visitors and locals.

Leadership Lexington Planning Department, Planning Board, Economic Development, and Bicycle Advisory Committee Lexington Public Works Department, Economic Development, Historic District Commission, Lexington Council for the Arts, and Bicycle Advisory Committee Recommendation Leadership Continue to foster more school - based "bike trains" and continue the local Safe Routes to School Program —especially utilizing materials from the MassDOT SRTS Tool Kit —to encourage participation at more schools with an emphasis on walk/bike safety courses. Lexington Public Schools, Lexington Police, Transportation Services, and Bicycle Advisory Committee Promote free giveaways of Lexington Police bicycle helmets, lights, safety Department, Bicycle vests, ankle straps and other Advisory Committee and items at community events, local advocates beaches, at schools and/or community events.

Materials developed by the Bicycle Advisory Committee and the Friends of the Lexington Bikeways were well received but are currently out of date. Local residents and visitors to Lexington may not realize the close proximity of cultural and recreational destinations in the town. Enforcement Policies and Programs Crosswalk Compliance Safe Routes to School Enforcement Truck Safety Need People driving frequently fail to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks. People driving near schools — sometimes parents —sometimes speed or otherwise do not drive safely when children are present. Large trucks can present a hazard to pedestrians and bicyclists, sometimes threatening to pull bicyclists under their wheels. Recommendation Public outreach including mailings, fliers, and PSAs, can educate all roadway users about safe interactions; grants are frequently available for such materials. These potential funds could help to supplement efforts by advocates to developed updated brochures and other materials. As a follow-up to the new signs on the Minuteman Bikeway, a town -wide plan for additional destination wayfinding signs along ACROSS Lexington routes and other walk/bikeways should be considered. Leadership Transportation Safety Group, Police Department, Transportation Advisory Committee, Bicycle Advisory Committee, and the Friends of the Lexington Bikeways Lexington Economic Development Office, Greenways Corridor Committee, Transporta- tion Advisory Committee, and Bicycle Advisory Committee Recommendation Leadership Additional enforcement efforts,22 motorist education, and decoy operations could be considered to enhance compliance. See above. Establish a Town policy requiring side guards, convex mirrors, and cross -over mirrors on large trucks owned and operated by the Town. Lexington Police Department Lexington Police Department Lexington Public Works Department and the Fire Department 22 Care should be taken to ensure that selective enforcement of crosswalk violations is not misperceived as the racial or ethnic profiling of drivers. 54 Network Recommendations DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Program Speed Feedback Signs Program Need Speeding traffic can compromise the quality -of -life in some neighborhoods and leads to more dangerous conditions for people walking and bicycling. Equity Policies and Programs Active transportation in proximity to multi -family residential development Program Need Higher -density housing aims to promote new multi -family apartment blocks, with some affordable units and others that will be attractive to those with modest incomes and/or limited access to private automobiles. Evaluation Policies and Programs League of American Bicyclists (LAB) Bicycle Friendly Community (BFC) Program Need Currently, the Town of Lexington has been designated as a Bronze - level BFC by the LAB. Aspiring to reach the next level (Silver) can provide the organizing policy for various improvements that will require evaluation to present to the LAB in the next certification round. Pedestrian and Bicycle Compared with motor vehicle Data (A) counts, there is very little data related to the number of people walking and bicycling to work, for recreation, or for errands. 55 Network Recommendations Recommendation Leadership Digital traffic speed feedback signs provide a visual reminder for drivers to slow down and should be installed on streets where speeding is prevalent or near schools and playgrounds. Because feedback signs could lose their effectiveness, the Town may consider instead, several mobile feedback signs that rotate locations over time. Transportation Safety Group and Lexington Public Works Department Recommendation Leadership To encourage high levels of Lexington Planning walking, bicycling, and transit Department and the use, development permits should Planning Board encourage connections to sidewalks, nearby trails, and on - street bike facilities. Recommendation Leadership Town staff to develop a checklist of projects and programs aimed to achieve silver -level BFC designation in 3-5 years. To supplement Bicycle Advisory Committee's annual counts on the Minuteman Bikeway, develop a regularly scheduled, pedestrian and bicycle count program beyond the Bikeway (e.g., Mass Ave or Waltham Street). Bicycle Advisory Committee and Transportation Services Transportation Safety Group, Greenways Corridor Committee, Transportation Advisory Committee, and Bicycle Advisory Committee DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Program Pedestrian and Bicycle Data (B) Walk/Bike Safety Audits at Lexington High School Need There is very little data related to the number of children walking, bicycling, and scootering to school on a regular basis. As planning for the new high school building begins, the Town may need to have a better understanding of areas where hazards exist for students walking or biking to school. Recommendation To better understand how school children at all levels are reaching school, surveys should be taken at least once a year but ideally in both the fall and the spring. Coordination with individual school Principals will be needed. Conduct walk/bike safety audits with LHS students, staff, and administrators prior to, or concurrent with, the planning and design work by the Town's consultant architect/engineer. Additional pedestrian and bicycle facility improvements along Muzzey Street and others leading to the Lexington High School campus could result from safety audits conducted as part of the high school redesign process. Leadership Transportation Services, Lexington Public Schools, and Transportation Advisory Committee Lexington Public Schools and the Transportation Safety Group 56 Network Recommendations DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan um � uum s �to umm uuuumuum C I0 ��M 0 uuu uuum m h As part of the TBPP, the planning team explored ways for the Town of Lexington to "address challenges related to the increasing number and type of electric -assist bicycles and other E-vehicles needing accommodation," and is seeking "recommendations as to appropriate policy to ensure safety of all users." (from the original RFP for the TBPP) This section of the TBPP report summarizes a much longer technical memorandum found in Appendix B that includes a full overview of the policy, infrastructure, and enforcement contexts nationally, throughout New England, and in Lexington for what are often called "E-micromobility" devices. The full memorandum also offers recommendations to manage common concerns with these electric -powered transportation devices and small-scale vehicles. The E-micromobility devices shown below are included in the analysis: > E-bicycles (Classes 1-3; also referred to throughout this memorandum as "E-bikes") > E-scooters (standing or sitting) Other E-Micromobility Options • E-skateboards (including One Wheels) • Hoverboards • E-unicycles In general, there is considerable variability in how E-micromobility devices are regulated in the U.S. (with the exception of E-bikes). While some devices (E- skateboards, in particular) still operate in an ambiguous legal zone, best practice appears to advise operators to behave like bicycle riders on public ways. To summarize the technical memorandum's recommendations for Lexington: Since E-bikes and E-scooters are already regulated under Massachusetts state law, the plan recommends that the Town of Lexington follow state law and permit these devices to use all public ways open to bicycles, including the Minuteman Bikeway and all other shared use paths where bikes are already permitted. While the legality of E-boards may be uncertain, these devices are already appearing on public ways in Lexington. Unless law enforcement plans to step up enforcement actions on these devices, Lexington should adopt "rules of the road" for these devices that generally align with bicycle operational rules. 57 Network Recommendations DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Creating educational signs, handouts, stickers, web assets, etc. will permit the public to be educated on the behaviors the Town of Lexington would like to see practiced by E- micromobility users. Revise the current "No Motor Vehicles" signs at trailheads and intersections along the Minuteman Bikeway to explicitly allow for electric -assist bicycles and other micromobility devices. The additional plaque could say: "except e-assist". Defining micromobility and E-micromobility in Town ordinance will clarify that everything from a kick scooter to an electric skateboard is addressed by local transportation policy. Continuing discussions with all of the Minuteman Bikeway communities and adjacent towns regarding what other communities, such as Boulder Colorado, have done to regulate human- and electric -powered micromobility users. This will permit Lexington residents and officials to explore, discuss, and address the use of these new devices on public ways. Focus on moderating behavior through encouragement and education. Expecting more growth in these modes, and planning to expand infrastructure to support them, will enable the Town to position itself for a greener, less auto -dependent future. Continue to foster an expectation of reasonable behavior and speeds on the Minuteman Bikeway through the practice of community engagement and good riding behavior, while deterring negative practices on the path. The Lexington Police Department will continue this practice as staffing allows to make the path safe and enjoyable for all who use it. 58 Network Recommendations DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan This page intentionally left blank. 59 Network Recommendations I , DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan To help the Town of Lexington prioritize the nearly 300 bicycle, pedestrian and trail facility recommendations, the TBPP used 12 criteria to score and rank them. The results of the Prioritization process are not set in stone. The intent is to inform project funding and future implementation of the facility recommendations. Permitting, engineering complexity, and the need for public input for most projects are equally important as the prioritization score and rank. This may result in some high scoring projects taking a number of years to implement and/or medium -to -low scoring projects becoming a reality sooner rather than later.23 II um umu4b ill Iva -*111111te��oi��a The 12 evaluation criteria sprung from the five Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan goals Safety, Connectivity, Design, Economy, and Feasibility described in Chapter 3. They include a mix of two types of criteria: Quantitative: scores that can be derived from data sources primarily GIS such as scores based on the number of nearby crashes and the linear distance/proximity to public and private schools, transit lines, and retail districts Qualitative: scores that the planning team used their judgement to determine, such as whether a recommendation helped close a gap in the current network, its level of engineering complexity, its impact to on -street parking, and whether the recommendation had received community support during or prior to the TBPP effort. 23 This is especially the case for bicycle and pedestrian facility recommendations that coincide with Public Works' regular repaving or repair program and roadway corridor projects that have been, or will soon be, programmed into the Town's Capital Budget 60 Prioritization DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan .2 III IIIIIII IIIIIIIII III uuuuum uum��id The prioritization methodology incorporates hierarchy among the 12 criteria to further reflect what is important to the Lexington community. Incorporating feedback from Town staff, the TSG+, and from public meeting #2 on June 8. Each criterion was given a weight of 1, 2, or 3 to highlight the critical role that, for instance, well -designed bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure near K-12 schools plays for town residents. The list of criteria, the weighting, and maximum points allocated for each criterion is shown below. Plan Goals Criteria (up to 5 points each) Note: qualitative criteria shown in Italics Weighting Max.

This equated to scores of 0 through 5 for the criteria for each of the project recommendations. The highest score possible is 110 points. The detailed scoring rubric can be found in Appendix C. mu pu uuuulll �II�@u um m uuum I I uum m uuum uuu uuum I I Immm m ml ml mu m Im IuuuVl Using the prioritization methodology described above, scores were given to all infrastructure project recommendations found in the Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan.

The corridor would include either a 10'-wide shared use path on the north/east side (replacing the existing 5'-wide sidewalk) or separated bike lanes could be striped on the roadway in both directions if parking were restricted to one side only. Concord Avenue (from Benjamin Rd West to the Belmont Line): while bike lanes in both directions can be striped west of Benjamin Rd West to Spring Street, to the east, the 28'-29'- wide roadway precludes bike lanes in both directions. As such, an uphill climbing bike lane is recommended with sharrows in the downhill direction. This creates an eastbound bike lane for most of Concord Ave. From Narrowing Concord Ave's travel lanes to 10'-11' and shifting the center line to the north accommodates a climbing bike lane in the eastbound direction. Pleasant St to the Belmont Line however, topography is reversed so the climbing bike lane would run westbound while sharrows should be striped on the downhill side. Pleasant Street (from Mass Ave to Watertown St): soon to be under construction, 5'- wide bike lanes along Pleasant St will extend from Mass Ave to the new roundabout at the Pleasant/ Watertown intersection. The bike lanes will link existing bike lanes on Mass Ave with the bike lanes on Watertown Street from Pleasant St over Route 2 to the Belmont Line. 63 Prioritization DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Muzzey Street (from Mass Ave to Park Drive): currently a one-way street with parking on the west side, the TBPP's recommendation is remove parking and provide bi-directional separated bike lanes along the east side of the street. Combined with the highest scoring intersection improvement at Mass Ave and Depot Square, these projects are intended to remove the gap between the Minuteman Bikeway and LHS (and beyond, to Lincoln Park). The future redesign of LHS should incorporate this future connection into the site plan and placement of bike parking. Waltham Street (from Mass Ave to Worthen Rd): as a complement to the two-way bike facility on Muzzey St, a southbound bike lane is recommended on Waltham St to improve connectivity to LHS. To accommodate the bike lane, 10'-11' wide lanes should be striped along with shifting the centerline 1'-2' to the east. LanesM WI - . oCenter It should be noted that several comments related to the desire for striped bike lanes on Mass Ave in Lexington Center were received during the planning effort. Given the proximity to LHS, the Town's primary pedestrian -oriented business district, and many cultural and historical destinations, improved access for bicyclists is logical for the Center. While not to preclude bike lanes in the long term, for the short/medium term the TBPP maintains Mass Ave in its current condition with shared lanes and relies on the nearby Minuteman Path and other recommended perpendicular bike facilities to provide bicycle access to Lexington Center. 64 Prioritization DRAFT Lexington Town —wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Table 5 Intersection Recommendations Green bike crossing in coordination w Muzzey MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE DEPOT SQUARE improvements MIVIBW - east to LHS BEDFORD STREET/ROUTE 4/225 BEDFORD STREET/ROUTE 4/225 HARRINGTON ROAD New roundabout (under construction � ro BEDFORD STREET/ROUTE 4/225 BEDFORD STREET/ROUTE 4/225 WORTHEN ROAD Reduce turning radius (NW corner) HARTWELLAVENUE HARTWELLAVENUE MAGUIRE ROAD add bike accommodations w green paint Hartwell Ave Corridor MARRETT ROAD/RCUTE 2A MARRETT ROAD/ROUTE 2A WALTHAM STREET Reduce turning radii, add truck aprons � N LOWELL STREET LOWELL STREET WOBURN STREET Reduce turning radii, add truck aprons Full reconstruction - close slip lane / add median WALTHAM STREET WALTHAM STREET BROOKSIDE AVENUE island (per signal upgrades) � w SLIVI in left turn approach on Mass Ave (EB and WB MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE/RCUTE 4/225 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE/RCLITE 4/22S Full reconstruction (close slip lanes) MARRETT ROAD/ROUTE 2A MARRETT ROAD/ROLITE 2A SPRING STREET Reduce turning radii, add truck aprons HANCOCK STREET HANCOCK STREET COOLIDGE AVENUE Reduce turning radius (SW corner) CONCORD AVENUE CONCORD AVENUE WALTHAM STREET Reduce turning radii, add truck aprons MARRETT ROAD/RCLITE 2A MARRETT ROAD/RCLITE 2A SCHOOL STREET Full reconstruction (T up intersection) WALTHAM STREET WALTHAM STREET ROUTE 2 EB ON -RAMP (NB WALTHAM STi Reduce turning radius or add raised x-walk CONCORD AVENUE CONCORD AVENUE WALNUT STREET Reduce turning radii & extend median island Reduce turning radius BEDFORD STREET/ROUTE 4/22S BEDFORD STREET/ROUTE 4/225 HARTWELLAVENUE Full reconstruction (address slip lanes) LOWELL STREET LOWELL STREET EAST STREET Enlarge existing splitter island r educe radius NW corner and expand concrete PLEASANT STREET PLEASANT STREET STEARNS ROAD I anding ADAMS STREET ADAMS STREET EAST STREET Full reconstruction (T up intersection) LOWELL STREET/ROUTE 2A LOWELL STREET/ROLITE 2A SUMMER STREET/ROUTE 2A Full reconstruction (T up intersection) MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE SCHOOL STREET Reduce turning radius (SE corner) PLEASANT STREET PLEASANT STREET WATERTOWN STREET Roundabout currently in design and funded ANTHONYROAD ANTHONYROAD LILLIAN ROAD Reduce turning radii LOWELL STREET LOWELL STREET LACONIA STREET Reduce turning radius (NW corner) MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE BEDFORD STREET/ROLITE 4/225 Full reconstruction (T up intersection) FOLLEN ROAD FOLLEN ROAD LOCUST AVE Reduce turning radius (NW corner) WORTHEN ROAD EAST WORTHEN ROAD EAST PLEASANT STREET Add bump out (NE corner) Full reconstruction (T up intersection/close slip MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE HARRINGTON ROAD HANCOCK STREET HANCOCK STREET ADAMS STREET Full reconstruction (T up intersection) KENDALL ROAD KENDALL ROAD FARIVICREST AVENUE Bump out (SW corner) LOWELL STREET LOWELL STREET MAPLE STREET/Wl NCH ESTER DRIVE Full reconstruction (close slip lanes) Full reconstruction (T intersections / close slip CEDAR STREET CEDAR STREET PAUL REVERE ROAD/HILL STREET lanes) MERIAM STREET MERIAM STREET SOMERSET ROAD/FRANKLIN ROAD Small traffic circle (mountable) 65 Prioritization DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Although they may not be the first group of intersection improvements to be implemented by the Town, the five highest scoring intersection recommendations include: Mass Ave at Depot Square: the intent of this improvement is to better facilitate safe bicycle access from the Minuteman Bikeway to Lexington High School and vice versa. The feature enhancements include striped bicycle crossings with green pavement markings immediately adjacent to the pair of Mass Ave crosswalks at Depot A mix of bike lanes and green bicycle crossings on Mass Ave at Depot Square will improve the linkage from the Minuteman Bikewa to LHS Square. Crossings would be y direction with southbound bicyclists using the west crosswalk and northbound bicyclists using the east crosswalk. The latter requires a short bike lane from Muzzey Street to the crosswalk for access. This recommendation is paired with the bi-directional bikes along M uzzey Street described above. Bedford Street at Harrington Road: currently under construction, this challenging intersection for bicyclists and pedestrians will soon feature a modern roundabout. The design includes a geometry that slows motor vehicle traffic significantly, crosswalks with landscaped splitter islands, and shared lanes for bicyclists. Bedford Street at Worthen Road: improvements at the intersection focus on the northwest corner. A tighter curb radius with truck -turning apron is recommended to slow traffic and improve safety for pedestrians and thru-bicyclists traveling on Bedford Street. A striped bike lane should also be striped along the north side of Worthen Road from the intersection to remove the gap with the existing bike lane that starts nearly 400 feet to the west. Hartwell Ave at Maguire Road: currently, the intersection features right turn slip lanes that accommodate very high speeds and no pedestrian infrastructure. Although a bike lane is present, the high-speed traffic from Maguire to Bedford Road creates a significant safety issue for southbound bicyclists. During the current redesign efforts, slip lanes should be removed, buffered or separated bike lanes added (with green pavement markings, as needed), and crossing opportunities for pedestrians. Marrett Road at Waltham Street: as part of State Route 2A, improvements will require coordination and approval by MassDOT. Recommendations include the reduction of the corner curb radii (with truck -turning aprons) to slow traffic and improve pedestrian safety. Potential future bicycle lanes recommended along both roadways will need to be accommodated as well. 66 Prioritization DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan IIIIIIIII m� III I umu a IIIII IIIIIIIIII m u uuuf IIIII uuu uumu I mi P I � I I I m uuu uuum I 41,11,111.411,111, o mul m ml mu mmum ill''Itied oll m, Similar to the bicycle facility projects, projects, recommendations intended to improve safety and connectivity for people walking and using wheelchairs included recommendations for new or improved sidewalks, crosswalks, and pedestrian safety countermeasures that should be considered at many crosswalk locations.

Marrett Road (from Kendall Rd to Mass Ave): currently, the existing south sidewalk is in poor condition and less than 4'-wide in places. Lying along State Route 2A, coordination with MassDOT is required. Marrett Road (from Middle St to Spring St): similar to Segment of Marrett Road's south sidewalk near Bacon St in need of repair. the more easternmost segment described above, the existing south sidewalk is in poor condition and is less than 4'-wide in places. Lying along State Route 2A, coordination with MassDOT is required before repairs are made. Baskin Road (Baskin Rd to Worthen Rd): Baskin Road provides a key connection for pedestrians and bicyclists wishing to access LHS and points beyond. This new sidewalk recommendation would fill in the gap between the existing sidewalk further up the hill and Worthen Road. Worthen Road (from Mass Ave to Bedford St): the plan recommends enhanced clearing of the dense vegetation along the south/east sidewalk around the curve on the approach to Mass Ave to ensure a fully accessible five-foot width is maintained. 69 Prioritization DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan EMISSION Hancock Street 77 7Hancock Street I Minuteman Commuter Bikeway Improve RRFB Massachusetts Avenue Massachusetts Avenue Bowker Street Improve Bump outs Mass Ave East Marrett Road/Route 2A Marrett Road/Route 2A Kendall Road New Piano Key, ramp & RRFB Massachusetts Avenue Massachusetts Avenue Charles Street Improve Bump outs and RRFB Mass Ave East Lowell Street Lowell Street Harrington Elementary Driveway Improve Median island & RRFB Lowell Street/Route 2A Lowell Street/Route 2A Whipple Road New Piano Key and ramp ACROSS LEX Massachusetts Avenue Massachusetts Avenue Crosby Road Improve RRFB Lincoln Street Lincoln Street Middlby Road New Piano Key & ramp (by developer) ACROSS LEX Massachusetts Avenue Massachusetts Avenue Fottler Avenue Improve Bump outs and RRFB Mass Ave East Massachusetts Avenue/Route 4/225 Massachusetts Avenue/Route 4/225 Winthrop Road/Woburn Street New Coordinate w new intersection Massachusetts Avenue Massachusetts Avenue Bow Street Improve Bump outs and RRFB Mass Ave East Massachusetts Avenue Massachusetts Avenue Hastings Road Improve RRFB Revere Street Revere Street Minuteman Commuter Bikeway Improve RRFB School Street School Street Rolling Avenue NEw Piano Key striping & ramp Crosby Road Crosby Road Hastings School Driveway New Piano Key w/ RRFB Grant Street Grant Street Sherman Street Improve RRFB Marrett Road/Route 2A Marrett Road/Route 2A Bacon Street Improve Piano Key & RRFB Marrett Road/Route 2A Marrett Road/Route 2A Massachusetts Ave (West) New Piano Key striping Maple Street/Route 2A Maple Street/Route 2A Solomon Pierce Road Improve Piano key striping Marrett Road/Route 2A Marrett Road/Route 2A Stedman Road Improve Piano Key & RRFB Marrett Road/Route 2A Marrett Road/Route 2A Battle Road Trail New Piano Key striping Massachusetts Avenue Massachusetts Avenue Sylvia Street Improve Median island Mass Ave East Woburn Street Woburn Street Solomon Pierce Road Improve RRFB Worthen Road Worthen Road Lincoln Park Trail Improve Bump outs (per BL design) Bedford Street/Route 4/225 Bedford Street/Route 4/225 Valley Road/North Hancock Street Improve Piano Key w/ RRFB Lowell Street Lowell Street Fulton Road Improve RRFB Massachusetts Avenue Massachusetts Avenue Oak Street Improve Bump out (one side) Mass Ave East Pleasant Street Pleasant Street Between Worthen Road East - Rt 2 On-F Improve Bump outs (reduce lanes to 11') Burlington Street Burlington Street Blake Road Improve RRFB Hartwell Avenue Hartwell Avenue Wood Street New Piano Key & RRFB Hartwell Ave Corridc Lowell Street/Route 2A Lowell Street/Route 2A Fairlawn Avenue Improve Piano Key & RRFB Massachusetts Ave (West) Massachusetts Ave (West) Marrett Road/Route 2A New Piano Key striping Summer Street/Route 2A Summer Street/Route 2A Whipple Hill Trail New Piano Key, ramp & RRFB Marrett Road/Route 2A Marrett Road/Route 2A Prospect Hill Road New Piano Key & RRFB Marrett Road/Route 2A Marrett Road/Route 2A Old Reservoir Parking Improve Piano Key striping Watertown Street/Route 4/225 Watertown Street/Route 4/225 Crescent Road Improve RRFB Woburn Street Woburn Street Manley Court New Piano Key, ramp & RRFB Lowell Street Lowell Street Locke Village Driveway New Piano Key & RRFB Pleasant Street/Route 4 Pleasant Street/Route 4 Wilson Farm Parking Lot Improve RRFB Concord Avenue Concord Avenue Path at Scott Road New Piano Key w/ RRFB ACROSS LEX East Street East Street Emerson Road Improve Bump out on NW corner Burlington Street Burlington Street Simonds Road Improve RRFB Pleasant Street/Route 4 Pleasant Street/Route 4 Mason Street Improve RRFB Spring Street Spring Street Woodcliffe Road New Piano Key w/ RRFB Wood Street Wood Street Battle Road Trail/Old Massachusetts Av, Improve RRFB and ADA landing Baskin Road Baskin Road Baskin Road New Piano Key and ramp Conestoga Road Conestoga Road Wood Street New Piano Key and RRFB Minuteman Commuter Bikeway Minuteman Commuter Bikeway Seasons Four Driveway Improve Private land;

View of crosswalk on Mass Ave at Bowker Street facing east (additionally, bike lanes along Mass Ave are recommended) Mass Ave at Bowker Street: to reduce the length of the 50-foot-long crosswalk and to enhance visibility of pedestrians, the plan recommends installation of curb extensions/bump outs on each side of the roadway. Marrett Road at Kendall Road: this proposed new crosswalk and RRFBs would help to link the neighborhoods on each side of Marrett Road. The crossing would lie more than 500 feet from the crosswalk to the baseball fields to the east and over 900 feet from the Waltham St intersection. Mass Ave at Charles Street: the addition of curb extensions/bump outs along with RRFBs on Mass Ave is intended to reduce the length of the 50-foot-long crosswalk and to enhance visibility of pedestrians, especially those trying to cross at night. 9 It should be noted that the planning team considered a median island and other pedestrian safety counter- measures at the crosswalk in front of the Post Office. Due to potential conflicts a median island would create for parades along Mass Ave and the change RRFBs would bring to the surrounding historic character of Lexington Center, no changes to the crossing have been recommended at this time.

Care will need to be taken with the segment south of Eldred St where the ROW narrows and space may not be available for an 8'-10'-wide sidepath. Hartwell Avenue Sidepath (from Bedford St/Rt. 4 to Maguire Road within public ROW): the TBPP recommends further enhancement of the current south sidewalk along Hartwell 72 Prioritization DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Avenue to meet standards for a fully accessible shared use path. This could include the need to widen the path is places and special crossing treatment at the driveway locations. This segment of sidepath is part of the design work currently in progress and intended to be constructed in 2030 using federal funds. Clarke Middle School Fields Path (from Marrett Rd to Stedman Rd on Recreation Dept. property): this recommended path accommodates a significant desire line between the Marrett Rd crosswalk and the Clarke Middle School via a route just west of the ball fields. The path would pass very close to the baseball back -stop, run alongside the soccer pitch and pass between the south baseball diamond and the tennis courts. The future path would provide a more intuitive and accessible route compared with the adjacent, hilly "paper street" between Marrett Rd and Brookside Ave. South -facing view of the potential new path corridor (at middle -right) connecting Marrett Road with the Clarke Middle School. Hayden Woods Path (from Valleyfield St to Waltham St/Brookside Ave on Conservation Commission property): while this "paper street" currently contains a dirt/gravel footpath, the TBPP recommends upgrades to an 8'-10'-wide stonedust path that is fully accessible for all. This will enhance connectivity from the neighborhoods west of Waltham St to the Clarke Middle School. Coordination with the Conservation Commission will be required before moving forward with implementation of the improvements. Paint Mine Trails (from N400' west of Turning Mill Rd to Grove St on Conservation Commission property): this recommendation would likely include a shared -use path along the utility easement that runs between the Burlington Landlocked Forest trailhead on Turning Mill Rd and Grove St. Coordination with the Conservation Commission and Eversource and other utility companies will be required before moving forward with implementation of the improvements. 73 Prioritization DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Implernentat'i*on Strategy The recommendations developed for the Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan represent a major investment in active transportation infrastructure in Lexington. The short, medium and long-term results could have a substantial impact on bicycle and pedestrian accessibility and safety and improve the quality of life for those who live, work or visit the town. None of this can happen without a strong implementation strategy that includes identification of funding options, performance measures, and those who will take the lead on implementing project recommendations. Since many of the recommendations sit along state roadways, MassDOT will be a critical player to help improve bicycling, walking, rolling, and using micromobility in Lexington. 5.u� a uuum p P 04111111t ,zed I o''If uumum Vuuuuvlumu finalTBD with approval chapters 5.2, I uuu i pu P uuuu ��\Aeasu��res Performance Measures are data -driven benchmarks intended to help the Town of Lexington gauge progress towards the Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan's five goals. They also help the Town departments and commissions communicate successes and challenges and motivate community and political leaders to take further action to help implement the TBPP through funding and/or public support. By nature, they are aspirational and intended to 'push the envelope' to encourage moving ahead in a somewhat aggressive nature to improve safety and accessibility for pedestrians, bicyclists, and micromobility users in Lexington. To achieve success, serious consideration of additional funding for implementation and maintenance will be needed. This will affect the five-year Capital Plans for a handful of departments, especially the Public Works Department. 74 Implementation Strategy DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Plan Goals Performance Measure 3-and-8 Year Lead Agencies/ Ta r ets Groups 2027 2032 Reduction in bicycle and pedestrian -involved 25% 50% Planning Department crashes that result in an injury or fatality TSG Number of crosswalks enhanced with pedestrian 6 16 Public Works Planning 1: SAFETY safety countermeasures (new or existing) Department TAC Number of lane miles of new bike lanes (either 4 mi. 20 mi.

Help will be needed from elected officials at the state level and state agencies, primarily MassDOT. The following are the critical next steps to achieve this goal. The Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan should be adopted by the Lexington Select Board as the formal guiding document for bicycle and pedestrian improvements in the town. Lexington Public Works Department should quickly ascertain which of the TBPP's recommendations coincide with DPW projects currently on the roadway repaving and/or 24 Note that meeting these benchmarks could have significant impact on budget and staff capacity. Five-year Capital Plans among various departments will need to be coordinated so the Town can seize upon small and large opportunities to improve the bicycle and pedestrian network in Lexington. 75 Implementation Strategy DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan sidewalk repair list, or recommendations that overlap with projects that have been programmed into the Town's Capital Budget. The Lexington Planning Department and/or Town Manager potentially with assistance from State Representatives and/or Senator Barrett --should schedule a coordination meeting with MassDOT District 4 to discuss logistical and funding opportunities to incorporate bicycle and pedestrian facility recommendations made on state roads within the TBPP. The Lexington Planning Department should schedule coordination meetings with planners from surrounding communities to discuss recommended bicycle, pedestrian, and trail projects that could provide enhanced links between towns, e.g., Waltham Street bike lanes to the Waltham Line, Mass Ave East bike lanes to the Arlington Line, or sidewalk and trail improvements along the Adams and North Street corridors to Burlington. A dedicated staff person from Public Works, the Planning Department, or the Town Manager's office should commit a significant proportion of their time to the implementation of the TBPP. This will be needed to ensure the necessary coordination between departments, facilitate fund raising efforts where needed, help manage the recommended programs, and potentially manage contractors and consultants. To accommodate the growing maintenance needs with the implementation of the many bicycle and pedestrian facility recommendations, the Town should increase the budget for the Department of Public Works accordingly. The increase could be based on the proportional increase in the quantity of sidewalk miles, the number of new flashing beacons, and other pieces of infrastructure. Additional funds will be used to increase staff capacity and purchase of new equipment. As of the end of 2023, the Town of Lexington has established itself as a walkable and bike -friendly community. Thousands of residents live within a short walk or bike ride to a wide variety of places to shop, eat, recreate, attend a house of worship, or spend time at the library. Many more have children who currently walk or bike to the many neighborhood -based schools in Lexington and all three middle and high schools are centrally located for nearly all students. The Minuteman Bikeway and connecting trails and pathways form the spine of a strong trail network for commuting, recreation, and errands. Despite these successful characteristics, more work needs to be done to encourage more bicycling and walking, and a more accessible community for people of all ages and abilities. The project and program recommendations are designed to make Lexington one of the most walkable and bike -friendly Towns in the Commonwealth and enhance the quality of life for its nearly 34,000 residents. 76 Implementation Strategy DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Append*ices A Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Online Survey Results B Policy Analysis and Recommendations for Electric Powered Micromobility Devices Memorandum (James Tasse Consulting) C Project Prioritization Criteria and Scoring Rubric Memorandum 77 Appendices Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan APPENDIX / / r I rrriHIMI I / I IIIII � II II IIII� r f A-1 Online Survey Results (374 Responses) Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan APPENDIX A.1 Bicycling iln Lexington 1.

Tasse", PhD James Tasse" Consulting 80 Appendices DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan iluumm lama u m I uumuuuuum As part of the process for developing a Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan in 2023, the Town of Lexington is exploring how to "address challenges related to the increasing number and type of electric -assist bicycles and other E-vehicles needing accommodation," and is seeking "recommendations as to appropriate policy to ensure safety of all users." This technical memorandum is based on an overview of the policy, infrastructure, and enforcement contexts nationally, throughout New England, and in Lexington for what are often called "E- micromobility" devices and offers some recommendations to manage common concerns with these electric -powered transportation devices and small-scale vehicles. The following E-micromobility devices are the focus of this report and are defined in the next section: E-bicycles (Classes 1-3; also referred to throughout this memorandum as "E-bikes") E-scooters (standing or sitting) Other E-Micromobility Options E-skateboards (including One Wheels) Hoverboards E-unicycles In general, across the US, with the exception of E-bikes, there is considerable variability in how E- micromobility devices are regulated. While some devices (E-skateboards, in particular) still operate in an ambiguous legal zone, best practice appears to advise operators to behave like bicycle riders on public ways. This memorandum makes the following recommendations for the Town of Lexington: Since E-bikes and E-scooters are already regulated under Massachusetts state law, and it is recommended that the Town of Lexington follow state law and permit these devices to use all public ways open to bicycles, including the Minuteman Bikeway and all other shared use paths where bikes are already permitted. While the legality of E-boards may be uncertain, it is likely that these devices are already appearing on public ways in Lexington. Unless law enforcement plans to step up enforcement actions on these devices, Lexington should adopt "rules of the road" for these devices that generally align with bicycle operational rules. Creating educational signs, handouts, stickers, web assets, etc. will permit the public to be educated on the behaviors the Town of Lexington would like to see practiced by E- micromobility users. Revise the current "No Motor Vehicles" signs at trailheads and intersections along the Minuteman Bikeway to explicitly allow for electric -assist bicycles and other micromobility devices. The additional plaque could say: "except e-assist". Defining micromobility and E-micromobility in Town ordinance will clarify that everything from a kick scooter to an electric skateboard is addressed by local transportation policy. 81 Appendices DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Continuing discussions with all of the Minuteman Bikeway communities and adjacent towns regarding what other communities, such as Boulder Colorado, have done to regulate human- and electric -powered micromobility users. This will permit Lexington residents and officials to explore, discuss, and address the use of these new devices on public ways. Focus on moderating behavior through encouragement and education. Expecting more growth in these modes, and planning to expand infrastructure to support them, will enable the Town to position itself for a greener, less auto -dependent future. Continue to foster an expectation of reasonable behavior and speeds on the Minuteman Bikeway through the practice of community engagement and good riding behavior, while deterring negative practices on the path. The Lexington Police Department will continue this practice as staffing allows to make the path safe and enjoyable for all who use it. 11111111 uumul 111111 W 0 Iuym 0 ) e��NA c��L) ty The "electric -assist bicycles and other E-vehicles" Lexington is seeking information on are generally included in a new category of transportation devices broadly known as "micromobility." ii c rko m o b ii ii "'„ The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) broadly defines "micromobility" as "any small, low -speed, human- or electric -powered transportation device, including bicycles, scooters, electric -assist bicycles, electric scooters (E-scooters), and other small, lightweight, wheeled conveyances." FHWA further observes that "micromobility has rapidly proliferated in cities nationwide, proving to be a popular transportation option for many users.1125 Micromobility devices are available as either devices for individual ownership, or increasingly, as part of "fleets" for shared use, such as bike share systems. Users pay for and unlock devices for use in defined areas, and return them to docking stations or, in some cases, dockless devices are returned to designated parking or catchment areas. A subset of micromobility includes "electric -powered micromobility" or "E-micromobility" devices, which include pedal -assist bicycles —two -wheel bikes, tricycles, and cargo bikes electric scooters, electric skateboards, electric mono -wheels, and other devices (See Figure 1). These devices are equipped with rechargeable batteries and motors that either assist the operator's efforts (in the case of pedal -assist bicycles) or move the device without human exertion beyond balancing and steering. They are generally limited to "human -scale" operational speeds of around 20 mph (although some E- 25 ,.:tt] � (�� ro t. ii bii iit f ct s( is/i i f ct h t.cfirn; 82 Appendices DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan bikes have a maximum speed of 28mph), and to motors of 750w or less.26 They are typically present as either individually -owned devices, or as part of E-bike or E-scooter share systems.

Such devices exist in an even more ambiguous regulatory space than the devices discussed here. Due to their operating speeds that exceed a "human scale," these devices are excluded from the definition of micromobility/E- micromobility used in this report, and may be generally incompatible with bike/ped infrastructure. 83 Appendices DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Hoverboard Electric Unicycle E-micromobility is the primary subject of this technical memorandum. For detailed descriptions of each device, and how they are typically regulated in the US, please see Appendix B1. Apart from E-bikes, and to some extent, E-scooters, E-micromobility devices are being introduced to the American transportation system without much consideration of their legality or best operational practices. E-micromobility devices generally share and sometimes compete for operational space with traditional "human -powered micromobility" users (i.e., standard bicycles, skateboards, and scooters without electric motors), as well as pedestrians and wheelchair users. As a result, E-micromobility devices can present challenges to community designers and policy makers, who need to consider where these new devices should operate, what sort of regulatory framework should govern their use and what the best practice norms of behavior are. While it is important to consider the impacts of these new devices, it is also necessary to bear in mind that they are being used by fellow citizens and may represent mobility choices that are at least partly driven by desire to avoid the financial cost and climate impacts of automobiles. Public policy at local, regional, or state levels should be cautious of adopting positions that are reactionary or discriminatory because these devices are new and unfamiliar, or may occasionally be used in a disrespectful or dangerous manner. Applying the rules for bicycles, which operate at approximately the same speeds, is the most widely adopted approach to regulating these devices and educating users in other states and municipalities. Current Lexington Policy on Bikes, E-bikes, and Pedestrians The Town of Lexington is making a commitment to improve access for people walking, bicycling, and rolling. Section 7 of the town's Comprehensive Plan, entitled "Transportation and Circulation," summarizes a number of public desires and policy changes related to improving mobility, and especially bike/ped access27. Objective 7.2 includes a desire to "Improve and expand options for walking, biking, and micromobility throughout Lexington," explicitly referencing the promotion of "micromobility" as a goal. "Micromobility" is defined in the Lexington Comprehensive Plan as: "a range of small lightweight devices operating at speeds typically below 75 mph and ideal for trips up to 6 miles. Micromobility modes can be shared or privately owned devices that are human -powered or electric28." Lexington's definition of micromobility includes the sub -category of E-micromobility. 27See.Iht.teintCeinteir/ ie / 1/1o ll....,....7,,..IFir insipoirt tioirn?I idlld:::::::: 211 .Iht.t eint einteir/ ie / 51/1 Goall '7 IFira ins 1poirt tiioOlk�iidll ::::::::. p.7-16 Footnote 12 84 Appendices DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Despite this commitment to the new mode, existing Lexington ordinance language 29 does not define micromobility devices or operational rules for them clearly. Lexington is not unique in this regard few municipalities in the country currently do so. The pertinent sections of Lexington code that regulate bicycles, pedestrians and micromobility include the following definitions: PFnFCTPIANI Any person afoot or riding on a conveyance moved by human power, except bicycles or tricycles. TRAFFIC Pedestrians, ridden or herded animals, vehicles, streetcars or other conveyances, either singly or together, while using any street or highway for the purpose of travel. \/FNIC'I F Every device in, upon or by which any person or property is or may be transported or drawn upon a highway, including bicycles when the provisions of these rules are applicable to them, except other devices moved by human power or used exclusively upon stationary rails or tracks and devices which derive their power for operation from stationary overhead wires." Micromobility as a class of user is not presently described in Town ordinance. The definition of "pedestrian" can be construed to refer to users of kick scooters or skateboards, and thus may extend to some micromobility users the same rights of access to public ways that persons walking have. There is no definition of bicycle, motorized bicycle, motorized scooter, or motorized skateboard, although all of these devices would appear to be "vehicles" under town code. E-bikes are not defined in Lexington ordinance. These gaps in definition and operational guidance create some conflict with state law, which has sharper language describing E-bikes, at least. With respect to operation, Lexington ordinances30 say the following with respect to bicycle and motorized device operation: Part I, General Bylaws, Chapter 100 Public Ways and Spaces, § 100-2 Use of streets, sidewalks and public places. Except as hereinafter provided, no person shall use or operate on any sidewalk or independent bicycle path any motorized vehicle, except a wheelchair, maintenance vehicle, or a police or fire emergency or patrol vehicle. 29 Language can be found at htt://ec e .co / 5 .05 30 Ihtt sp//ecode ®coin/l.. 5 521..2 85 Appendices DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan M Non -motorized bicycles may be ridden on independent bicycle paths, designated by the Select Board and marked as bike paths or bike routes. When necessary and in the interest of public safety, non - motorized bicycles may be ridden on sidewalks, except within business districts and within such other areas as may be designated by the Select Board. aLIn all other respects, bicycles shall be operated according to Chapter 85, Section 11 B of the General Laws of Massachusetts.0 In Lexington ordinance, it is not clear just what "non -motorized bicycles" are, and whether such language is intended to restrict the use of E-bikes. The phrase "non -motorized bicycles" exists in tension with Massachusetts law, which explicitly excludes E-bikes from the definition of "motorized bicycle" or "motor vehicle" (for details on Massachusetts Law on E-bikes and other devices, see Appendix 134). Under state law, an E-bike is regulated as a "non -motorized bicycle," but it is not clear that Lexington holds the same position. As a result of this terminological ambiguity, under Massachusetts state law, it appears that E-bikes are permitted on "independent bicycle paths" in Lexington, or anywhere else an unpowered bicycle is permitted in the town. This would include the Minuteman Bikeway, as well as on any local conservation and recreation trails where "traditional" unpowered bikes are permitted. But the Town's definition of, and position on, the use of E-bikes is not clearly spelled out, and any effort to restrict E-bike access to public ways based on town code would appear to conflict with state law. For devices other than E-bikes, the situation is even less clear. E-micromobility devices are not specifically mentioned in Lexington ordinance, and their use is not explicitly regulated. The absence of clear rules governing E-micromobility in current ordinance highlights a gap in Lexington code. The creation of a bike/ped plan for the town should include directives to proactively define and manage these new devices. Recommendations for E-Micromobility Policy for Lexington The following are draft operational and broader policy recommendations for the Town of Lexington with respect to E-micromobility devices. Operational Recommendations All local speed limits and restrictions apply, including the recently -posted advisory speed limit of 15 mph on the Minuteman Bikeway and on any other trails or ways in the town. A. E-bikes. It is recommended that Class 1 and Class 2 E-bikes be permitted to operate anywhere a traditional human powered bicycle may be operated as per Massachusetts law including: a. Multi -use paths (including the Minuteman Bikeway and any other mixed -use path or trail in town b. Sidewalks as limited in Lexington code Part I, General Bylaws, Chapter 100 Public Ways and Spaces, § 100-2. 86 Appendices DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan B. E-bikes should follow all rules that apply to "traditional" bicycles in Lexington with respect to locations where they can/cannot be ridden. C. Class 3 E-bikes should be considered as allowable as long as they operate at the recommended 15 mph limit. D. Lexington should develop and share E-bike operational education resources. Note that under Massachusetts law, restrictions on the use of E-bikes on public ways require a process that includes public meetings: "A municipality, local authority or state agency with jurisdiction over a bike path or bikeway after public notice and a public hearing may adopt ordinances or regulations prohibiting or otherwise regulating the operation of electric bicycles on such paths, including, but not limited to, the imposition of speed limits.1131 Attempting to restrict the use of E-bikes on pathways currently open to bicycles would presumably necessitate following the state -mandated process. E. E-scooters. It is recommended that E-scooters should be permitted on multi use paths, bike lanes, and roadways, including: a. the Minuteman Bikeway b. Sidewalks as limited in Lexington code Part I, General Bylaws, Chapter 100 Public Ways and Spaces, § 100-2. F. E-scooters should follow all rules that apply to "traditional" bicycles in Lexington with respect to locations where they cannot be ridden. G. Lexington should develop and share E-scooter operational education resources. Note that E-scooters appear to be subject to the current requirement for operators to possess a valid drivers' license under Massachusetts General Laws, Part I, Title XIV, Chapter 90, §1 E to operate on public ways. Defining E-scooters in a way that excludes them from licensing requirements at the town level may be possible; town legal counsel should be consulted. H. Other E-micromobility Devices. Electric skateboards (including One Wheels), Hoverboards, and Electric Unicycles appear to meet the definition of "motor vehicle" in both Massachusetts law and Lexington ordinance. Because such devices do not generally meet the requirements for a motor vehicle to be used on public ways under state law, such devices operate in a legal gray area. That said, in the absence of a plan to enforce a ban, providing educational signage and resources about the use of these devices legal or not may benefit all users. When they are present on public ways, E- micromobility devices other than E-bikes and E-scooters should also be expected to operate according to rules generally applying to bicycles. If the Town of Lexington does not plan to enforce bans on these devices, the Town should consider adding ordinance language that would define them and clarify operational rules. Not that additional policy changes at the state level may be necessary to exempt these " Ihttir ll,..., Ilaws,....c8 ,...,ss,..., 11Jb,...,3 87 Appendices DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan devices fully from motor vehicle rules the town legal counsel should be consulted about making such changes. Policy and Education Recommendations 1. Pro -actively define and regulate all micromobility devices in Lexington ordinance. The lack of any reference in Lexington code to micromobility devices, electric or not, including what they are and how users of them should behave, creates uncertainty on the part of educators, law enforcement, planners, and facilities managers about how to talk about and manage these devices. As these devices are increasingly common, proactively defining this class of device in ordinance will help position town government for any additional specific regulatory actions directed at the devices. A. Consider adding a general definition of micromobility to Lexington ordinance section, e.g.: "Micromobility device" means a small, lightweight (sub 120 pound) low -speed human -powered or electric -powered transportation device, including a scooter, skateboard, electric scooter, electric skateboard, or other wheeled conveyance that has a top speed of 28 miles per hour or less. The 120-pound weight limit is suggested to include electric -assist cargo bikes in the general definition of micromobility. Add language clarifying that, under Lexington Code § 100-2 "Use of streets, sidewalks and public places," the word "bicycle" shall include E-micromobility devices to indicate that such devices must follow bicycle rules. B. Consider adding language to Lexington Code that explicitly defines E-bikes according to Massachusetts state law as per Massachusetts General Laws c.90 § 1 "Definitions" and regulates them as bicycles as per Massachusetts General Laws c.85 § 11 B 1/4 C. Consider adding a section to code referencing "Additional Rules for E-Micromobility Devices" and include any limitations on where they can operate (such as Lexington conservation and recreation properties where bicycles are already restricted), speed, additional equipment, etc. which may be established through public processes if they are different from operational rules which apply to bicycles. D. Note that under Massachusetts law, restrictions on the use of E-bikes on public ways require a process that includes public meetings: "A municipality, local authority or state agency with jurisdiction over a bike path or bikeway after public notice and a public hearing may adopt ordinances or regulations prohibiting or otherwise regulating the operation of electric bicycles on such paths, including, but not limited to, the imposition of speed limits." 32 12 h �:� sm// m ire ss® /ii ir�f ,..., � ii is/iris ,..., � ir��ir ll,..., ll s,...,c8 ,...,ss,..., �.1 lk�,..., ) 88 Appendices DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Attempting to restrict the use of E-bikes on pathways currently open to bicycles would necessitate following the state -mandated process. 2. Develop signage and other resources that educate users on the use of E- micromobility devices on public ways. E-micromobility devices are here to stay, and proactively developing resources to educate users with rules for their operation that would generally align them with bicycle rules is recommended. These might include web -based resources, signs, handouts, and pavement markings, as well as public informational forums or events in the field. See Figure 2 for examples of exemplary educational resources developed by Boulder, Colorado, to guide users on where different types of micromobility devices may be used.

Launch a public process to discuss/adopt the guidance for micromobility use employed by other municipalities such as Boulder, CO. Ultimately, what kinds of powered and unpowered micromobility devices are permissible in certain contexts is a local decision. Review of policies from across the country reveal that Boulder, CO, has perhaps the most comprehensive management scheme for these devices. Lexington should consider reviewing Boulder's policies in a public process and adopt them as needed/desired. In the longer term, any restrictions or relaxing of rules governing E-micromobility may require additional policy work at the state level to avoid conflicting with Massachusetts state law. 4. Anticipate and plan for providing more infrastructure and increasing the width of the Minuteman Bikeway to twelve feet where feasible and other shared use paths to ten feet. As volumes of all active transportation users grows, additional infrastructure may be needed to accommodate the increased traffic. This should include more bike lanes, more and wider multi -use paths, wider sidewalks, etc. While rights of way and other constraints may exist that restrict widening public ways, including trails, the general policy of the town should be to expect more use and to plan to expand facilities as much as is feasible. 90 Appendices DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan 5. Explore strengthening community collaborations to encourage safe behavior on the sidewalks and the Minuteman Bikeway. Massachusetts state law defines a public way as follows (see Appendix B4, below): "Way'', any public highway, private way laid out under authority of statute, way dedicated to public use, or 33 way under the control of park commissioners or d having powers. Based on this definition, the Minuteman Bikeway appears to be a public way. Some confusion over the exact status of the corridor may linger as the MBTA apparently retains ownership, and so the bikeway is not, in some quarters, considered a public way. Nonetheless, as Massachusetts statute includes some "private ways" in its definition of public way, the Minuteman Bikeway would appear to meet the statutory definition of a public way but may not be considered a road where traffic laws are enforced. The Lexington Police Department has a long-standing practice of monitoring the use of the Minuteman Bikeway. Through the practice of community engagement, officers have rewarded good riding behavior while deterring negative practices on the path. The Lexington Police Department will continue this practice as staffing allows to make the path safe and enjoyable for all who use it. The department does not feel that actively enforcing bicycle violations and citing riders promotes a collaborative relationship between the police and the community. Lexington Town government may wish to explore how the community can collaborate to enforce expectations of safe riding. If the Town wishes to explore, if allowed under state law, adding an ordinance clarifying that the Minuteman Bikeway is a public way and that Lexington police are authorized to enforce traffic law on it, including speed limits and any restrictions on the types of devices used on them, legal counsel will be needed and additional staff will be needed. It may be necessary to also amend the Minuteman Bikeway advisory speed limit so that it has the strength of an ordinance and is subject to enforcement. It is worth noting that many E-bikes are shipped without speedometers on them, which may further complicate enforcement efforts. Community policing, visual speed message boards and education may help users understand a responsible human -scale speed on shared use facilities. Town legal counsel should be consulted before making any such changes. 33 91 Appendices DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Conclusions E-bikes and E-scooters are already regulated under Massachusetts state law, and it is recommended that the Town of Lexington follow state law and permit these devices to use all public ways open to bicycles, including the Minuteman Bikeway and all other shared use paths where bikes are already permitted. While the legality of E-boards may be uncertain, it is likely that these devices are already appearing on public ways in Lexington. Unless law enforcement plans to step up enforcement actions on these devices, Lexington should adopt "rules of the road" for these devices that generally align with bicycle operational rules. Creating educational signs, handouts, stickers, web assets, etc. will permit the public to be educated on the behaviors the Town of Lexington would like to see practiced by E-micromobility users. Defining micromobility and E-micromobility in Town ordinance will clarify that everything from a kick scooter to an electric skateboard is addressed by local transportation policy. Convening a public process to discuss what other communities, both local municipalities and others like Boulder Colorado, have done to regulate human- and electric- powered micromobility users will permit Lexington residents and officials to explore, discuss and address the use of these new devices on public ways. Expecting more growth in these modes, and planning to expand infrastructure to support them, will enable the town to position itself for a greener, less auto -dependent future. Exploring whether the Minuteman Bikeway can be defined as a public way that Lexington police can enforce a speed limit or device bans would permit community policing opportunities and help educate the public on desired behavior. 92 Appendices DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Appendix B1 Detailed Descriptions of E-Micromobility Devices Low -Speed Electric Bicycles The very first electric bike patents date back to the 1890s, just a few years after the standard diamond frame bicycle as we know it arrived in the mid-1880s. As one of the oldest forms of E-micromobility, the policies regulating electric -assist bicycles are the most mature. The development of "pedal assist" technology in 1989 created the E-bike as we know it today. Pedal assist E-bikes provide motor power only when the pedals are turning and create a more genuinely "bicycle -like" experience than the older versions of E-bikes that relied on throttles to control the motor. Riding a pedal - assist E-bike is not effort -free and offers a riding sensation that might be described as amplifying muscular effort. According to People for Bikes, a national bicycle and E-bicycle advocacy group: Electric -assisted bicycles have been defined and regulated at the federal level since 2002. Public Law 107- 319 established that electric bicycles are regulated as consumer products under the Consumer Product Safety Act, and more specifically, subject to the same regulations that govern traditional, human -powered bicycles. Thus, electric bicycles are regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission and must comply with the bicycle safety standards at 16 C.F.R. Part 1572. In addition, electric bicycles are explicitly not "motor vehicles" for the purposes of federal law and are not subject to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration vehicle standards. As a practical matter, Public Law 707-319 ensures that electric bicycles are designed, manufactured, and tested like traditional bicycles for the purposes of consumer product safety law. The main provisions of Public Law 707-319 are codified at 15 U.S.C. § 2085. Under federal law, an electric bicycle is referred to as a "low -speed electric bicycle," which is defined as "a two- or three -wheeled vehicle with fully operable pedals and an electric motor of less than 750 watts (1 h.p.), whose maximum speed on a paved level surface, when powered solely by such a motor while ridden by an operator who weighs 170 pounds, is less than 20 mph." Significantly, this definition provides a maximum assisted speed that an electric bicycle can travel when being powered only by the motor, but does not provide a maximum assisted speed for when an electric bicycle is being powered by a combination of human and motor power34 34 I tt s 93 Appendices DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Starting in 2010, People for Bikes began an effort to enact policy across the country that standardizes the types of E-bikes available for sale in the US into three classes: Assist cut- Power Type Power actuation off Limit Class 1 E- bike Pedal -assist only 20 MPH Class 2 E- Throttle (usually with pedal 750 watts bike assist) Class 3 E- bike Pedal -assist only 28 MPH Class 1 E-bikes are "pedal assist only" bicycles, meaning the motor only boosts the rider when the pedals are turning. The motor assist is limited to a top speed of 20mph, and the motor size may not exceed 750 watts. These E-bicycles are generally permitted for use in most places a traditional bicycle can be used. Class 2 E-bikes are pedal assist but also come equipped with a throttle on the handlebars that permits the motor to be used without the pedals turning. The motor assist is limited to a top speed of 20mph, and the motor size may not exceed 750 watts. These E-bicycles are sometimes restricted from mountain bike trails and National Park paths but are generally permitted for use in most places a traditional bicycle can be used. Class 3 E-bikes are "pedal assist only" bicycles, meaning the motor only boosts the rider when the pedals are turning. The motor assist is limited to a top speed of 28mph, and the motor size may not exceed 750 watts. These E-bicycles are typically legal for use in roadway rights of way or on paths where the managing authority has authorized their use. E-bicycles can be difficult to distinguish from traditional un-assisted bikes. Tell -tale signs include the presence of a bulky rear hub ("hub drive") or bottom bracket area ("mid -drive") where the motor is, and a battery pack, usually located on a rack above the rear wheel or on/in the down tube of the bicycle. It is also a challenge to visually differentiate between the different classes of E-bicycles. Many kinds of E- bicycles are sold as various classes, so it is hard to tell with just a casual look what class an E-bike may be, i.e., there are Class 1, 2, and 3 Commuters, road bikes, and cargo bikes etc. E-Mountain Bikes are typically only Class 1 or 2. The salient differences are that Class 2s always have a throttle, and Class 3s can go up to 28mph. Class 3 E-bikes are sometimes identifiable by a larger battery pack (often visible as an especially 94 Appendices DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan thick down tube). All E-bikes sold in the US are supposed to have a sticker on them, usually located low on the seat tube or down tube, which identifies what class it is. See Figure 3 for a typical mid -drive Class 2 E-bike with the battery on the rear rack, and Figure 4 for an image of a hub motor. Figure 3 Figure 4-an E-bike hub motor Thirty-nine states, including Massachusetts, have adopted all (or parts) of the three class E-bike classification system. Operating guidelines vary from state to state (See Figure 4 Appendix B2, below) but generally treat Class 1 and Class 2 E-bikes as "traditional" un-assisted bicycles. With a top speed of 20mph, Class 1 and Class 2 E-bikes operate within "human scale" speeds that are easily attainable on 95 Appendices DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan unassisted bikes. Because of their higher top speed of 28 mph, Class 3 bicycles are often restricted to roadways and banned from multi -use paths unless authorized by the facility manager. Several states have motor wattage limits that are different from the 750 watt standard in the three class system. The National Conference of State Legislature's "primer" on E-bike law notes that Of the 43 states and D.C. that define E-bikes, some state laws, such as in Arizona, Minnesota, Utah and Washington, specifically allow E-bike operation on facilities such as bicycle paths or greenways, with the caveat that many carve out exceptions for localities to enact stricter operation regulations on such bike and pedestrian facilities. In Delaware, Iowa and Nebraska, electric bicycles are defined within the existing definition of a bicycle, therefore there is not a distinction when it comes to operation on trails. Vermont specifies that motor -assisted bicycles are governed as bicycles and have the same rights and duties applicable to bicyclists. Hawaii's law does not include restrictions on where E-bikes may operate.35 E-bike Fleets in Bike Share Systems According to US DOT, bike share systems (on -the -street businesses offering bicycles available for self - serve public rental and use) currently serve approximately 35 cities in the US, and after a decline between 2020 and 2022, the use of existing docked bike shares (systems that use specific parking stations for storage and rental access) is again exceeding 2019 levels.36 A number of bikeshare fleets around the world are adding E-bikes, and the "Bike Share World Map" curators report that: "Since August 2021, the number of bike -sharing systems with E-bikes has grown by 62.9% and the number of E-bikes increased by 72.95% 1137 The North American Bicycle Share Association (NABSA) in its 2023 "State of the Industry" report states that in shared use systems, "The number of trips taken on E-bikes increased from 18.8 million in 2021 to 30.9 million in 2022.1138 The inclusion of E-bikes into bike share fleets that prove to be viable is likely to continue to expand. Lexington, significantly, is located near Boston and may see users on the BlueBikes system, which is one of the largest bike share systems in North America, but which does not yet appear to have any E-bikes in the fleet. Most municipalities do not impose limitations on where E-bikes in shared systems may operate and treat them generally like unpowered bike share bicycles. Where limitations do explicitly exist, E-bike share bicycles are most often prohibited from sidewalk operation. 35 Ihtt s4// .incsll.oir ;Air ire � in Lion/ t tlE ellectiriic Ibiic cIIIE III III ii ll tiivE....�iriiimeir ire ii tir tii ire ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ 36tt s4//dt.ts. �v/stiriis/s/iririr ,...,cif,...,DdIced,...,BiiICesf�irE,..., ll�irii s b stir�,...,icd,..., t/7f 2W 37 Ihtt s4//I iillC�sll iriiir c irlldir .air /ire arts/Ibs im imiid2 22ir Dirt® df 38 Ihtt s4//iclbs.ir�t/2 2/8/2/222iiir�dustir / 96 Appendices DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan E-Scooters An E-scooter may be broadly defined as a device: "Weighing less than one hundred pounds that is equipped with two or three wheels, handlebars, and an electric motor, and which is solely powered by the rider or by an electric motor capable of propelling the device without additional propulsion supplied by the rider, at a maximum speed on a paved level surface of no more than twenty miles per hour, or both.1139 Note that some manufacturers sell scooters that exceed 20 mph. E-scooter regulation at the federal level is not consistent or clear. State law in some cases defines them, and sometimes imposes rules for operators (licensing, registration, age limits) and locations where their use is permitted. Local municipalities often further define their operational rules and limits, which often coincide with bike, moped, or motorcycle law. E-scooters are often included in older definitions of "motorized scooters" (devices more like Vespa scooters, etc) and this association often stipulates possession of drivers' license to use them on public ways. A further complication exists when places (e.g., Boulder, CO) make a distinction between motorized scooters and "lightweight electric devices," a description that is used to define the kind of scooters used in shared systems. They are sometimes included with bicycles with respect to operational rules.40 Non -motorized scooters (i.e., a board with a handle but no motor) are typically regulated as skateboards. E-scooter Shares US DOT reports that as of July 2022, 158 municipalities had E-scooter share systems, and evidence suggests that these systems are growing faster than bike shares. Most municipalities do not impose limitations on where E-scooters in shared systems may operate and treat them generally like unpowered bike share bicycles. Where limitations do explicitly exist, E-scooters are most often prohibited from sidewalk operation. E-Skateboards E-skateboards are motorized skateboards with either one or four wheels upon which an operator stands and moves sideways. Regulation at the federal level is non-existent. "One Wheel" brand E-boards are the subject of warnings from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission.41 39 t.:/%in i r. k/ic i .n t /ellectiric.scooter..................... ........................................I_...............ii_ii_ ii 40 https://mankeel-store.com/what-arE-thE-regulations-for-electric-scooters-in-the-us/ 41 .h.:t.ls�/ .cpc. / e sir / IN e s,,,,,, Ilf ..... e s / III„Warns ,,,,,, ns a e ir,,,,,, t t l,,,,,, U sii in n (� ee :,,,,,, I[3a ncii n Ilf;;;;;; ctirii c,,,,,, k t ..... it s,,,,,, IID u t IIF ..... ctii in ,,,,,, III z it t,,,,,, III,,,,,, ..... st,,,,,, Ilf...., a ir,,,,,, II[;; e t h s,,,,,, n u tii Ili I e Inluries 11�:.Z..e ppLte 97 Appendices DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan The inability of these motorized devices to meet minimum design standards for roadway use as "vehicles" has led some sources (including ones that are generally pro -skateboard) to acknowledge that they are likely "technically illegal" at the federal level.41 State law in some places clarifies their status and sometimes imposes rules for operators and locations they are permitted, but the rules of operation are sometimes unclear. California, for example, apparently permits E-skateboards to operate contraflow like a pedestrian. Some sources recommend that E-skateboards only be operated on private property. Some states and local municipalities often further define their operational rules and limits, which sometimes coincide with bike laws (e.g. Michigan43). Where rules exist, E-skateboards are often limited to 25mph or less and sometimes have wattage limitations on motors. Note that some manufacturers sell E-skateboards that exceed 20 mph. Shared E-skateboard systems do not appear to exist, but E-skateboards are available for rent at some shops around the nation. Hoverboards Hoverboards are wheeled board devices in which the operators' feet face forward on a platform and move forward on two wheels (unlike a skateboard, in which the operator moves sideways with respect to the orientation of feet). They might be understood as Segways without the handlebars. Hoverboards are more on the "toy device" end of the micromobility spectrum, but because they have some popularity and see use on public ways they are sometimes discussed and regulated at the state or local level. There are no federal laws on hoverboard operation.44 Shared E-hoverboard systems do not appear to exist. E-unicycles E-unicycles are devices with one wheel with foot platforms on either side of the wheel that the operator stands on facing forward. There are no federal rules governing the use of one wheel S45. They are rarely mentioned in state law and are sometimes lumped in with E-bike rules by analysts. They would appear to conform to the definition of "motor vehicles" under many state laws. Some of these devices can exceed the top speeds of Class 3 E-bikes, putting them in a deeper legal gray area. Shared E-unicycle systems do not appear to exist. 42 Ihtt s/ llectiric slkt boar Ilaws us / 43 Ihtt s/ ll ctiric s1katelboard Ilaws us / 44 Ihtt. sm// m tir�vi� . it u/Il t st lh veirlb it Ilaw 45 Ihtt sm//ir i ll� it iru uut�. i / Il tiri oink c1l s Ile all/ 98 Appendices DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Appendix B2: E-Micromobility Policy in the United States Policies that regulate the use of these electric -powered devices are still relatively new and in a constant state of evolution, as new E-micromobility gadgets continue to appear and see use on public ways across the country. Electric -assist bicycles, which are the E-micromobility devices that have been around the longest, have prompted the development of regulatory policy and schemes that usually treat them as standard bicycles. Many states now have clear language describing where and how E-bikes may be used, but the rules around the use of E-skateboards, hoverboards, E-scooters, or E-mono-wheels are not as consistent or clear (See Figure 5). Figure 5: US Policy on E-Micromobility Devices 99 Appendices DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan 100 Appendices DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan As long as E-micromobility devices remain in the realm of human -scale mobility (lightweight, no enclosure, and speeds under 20 mph), and can obey bicycle traffic law (including having braking systems that permit them to stop as required by traffic control devices), this memorandum broadly recommends that public policy evolve so as to recognize that E-micromobility users: Should be permitted the use of the common public ways Should generally follow state law and best practice guidance for bicycle operations (especially: ride with traffic, obey traffic controls, use hand signals, be predictable) Should operate at safe human scale speeds and comply with any advisory speed limits Should not generally operate on sidewalks, but may be permitted in some areas where bicycles are also permitted to operate 101 Appendices DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Should yield to pedestrians when present Should be covered under definitions of vulnerable users in law. 102 Appendices DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Appendix B3: New England Laws on E-Micromobility Devices As with the rest of the country, E-micromobility policy in New England is fairly inconsistent, except in regard to E-bike regulation. E-bikes All of the New England states have adopted the "3 Class System" except for Rhode Island which has a non-standard policy that People for Bikes calls "problematic." States that use the 3 Class system generally regulate E-bikes as bicycles. Massachusetts specifically recognizes Class 1 and Class 2 E-bikes but has no provision for Class 3 E-bikes at the state level. E-Scooters New England states generally regulate E-scooters as "motorized scooters" restricted to sub 30mph speed. Connecticut state law permits E-scooters and requires them to operate as bicycles. A license for their use is not required. Some municipalities impose additional rules. Maine state law defines motorized scooters and requires a license for their operation. Some municipalities impose additional rules. Massachusetts state law defines motorized scooters and requires a license for their operation. Some municipalities impose additional rules. New Hampshire state law defines motorized scooters and requires a license for their operation. Some municipalities impose additional rules. (https://www.dmv.org/nh-new-hampshire/other- types.php) Rhode Island state law permits E-scooters; some municipalities impose additional rules. Vermont state law appears to classify E-scooters as "motor assisted" bicycles; some municipalities impose additional rules. E-Skateboards Connecticut state law appears to ban E-skateboards from public ways as unregisterable motor vehicles. Maine state law appears to ban E-skateboards from public ways as unregisterable motor vehicles. Massachusetts state law is silent on E-skateboards New Hampshire state law is not clear on E-skateboards, and may include them with scooters Rhode Island state law regulates E-skateboards as a type of motor -vehicle Vermont state law is not clear on E-skateboards.

After weighting is set to prioritize some elements over others, the scoring total for any given trail, bicycle, or pedestrian network recommendation could score up to 110 as the highest score. 1. Safety a. Proximity to Reported Bicycle/Pedestrian Crashes • Description: Referencing crash data, determine the proximity of recommendation to reported bicycle/pedestrian crashes. The greater the number of crashes within a 100- foot buffer radius of the recommendation, the higher the priority to implement the recommendation to reduce crash risk for bicyclists and pedestrians. • Scoring o 0 = no crashes within 100 feet o 1 = 1 crash within 100 feet o 3 = 2 crashes within 100 feet o 5 = >3 crashes within 100 feet b. Motor Vehicle Volume Along Roadway (Qualitative) • Description: Roadways that carry more traffic typically have more opportunities for conflicts, thus separated bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure provides more benefit. Recommendations on roadways with higher levels of traffic will receive a higher score in this category. • Scoring 0 1 = Roadway is a local, residential street and/or one that carries < 1,000 vehicle trips per day 0 3 = Roadway is a modestly -busy local street (typically 1,000-5,000 vehicle trips per day) or recommendation is a path/trail project 0 5 = Busy state or local roadway with high traffic volumes (typically > 5,000 vehicle trips per day) 2. Connectivity a. Addresses a Critical Gap in the Trail/Bicycle/Pedestrian Network (Qualitative) • Description: Does the recommendation remove a critical gap in the trail/bicycle/pedestrian network or provide connectivity to other active transportation facilities such as the Minuteman Bikeway, shared use paths, bike lanes, or sidewalks? • Scoring 0 0 = Recommendation does not connect to an active transportation facility 0 1 = Recommendation connects to an active transportation facility at one end 0 3 = Recommendation connects to an active transportation facility at both ends 111 Appendices DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan o 5 = Recommendation connects to an accessible, shared use path facility at both ends b. Proximity to K-12 Schools • Description: Does the recommendation lie within close proximity to a K-12 public or private school or within 1/2 mile of multiple schools. • Scoring o 0 = No schools within 1/2 mile o 1 = 1 school within 1/2 mile o 3 = 1 school within 'A mile or 2 schools within 1/2 mile o 5 = 1 school within 500 feet or 2 schools within 1/4 mile c. Proximity to Public Park or Conservation Land (Qualitative) • Description: Does the recommendation lie within a 1/2 mile of a trailhead or accessible entrance to a public park, conservation land, or part of the Across Lexington trail network? Recommendations in close proximity to public parks and conservation lands will receive the highest scores. • Scoring 0 0 = No entrance to public park or conservation land within 1/2 mile 0 1 = Access point to public park or conservation land within 1/2 mile 0 3 = Access point to 2 public parks or conservation lands within 1/2 mile 0 5 = Access point to 3 or more public parks or conservation lands within 1/2 mile d. Proximity to Transit (MBTA or Lexpress) • Description: Does the recommendation lie within a 1/2 mile of public transit route or facility? Recommendations in close proximity to current public transit (MBTA or Lexpress) routes will receive the highest scores. • Scoring 0 0 = No public transit route within 1/2 mile 0 1 = 1 public transit route within 1/2 mile 0 3 = 2 public transit routes within 1/2 mile 0 5 = 3 or more public transit routes within 1/2 mile 3. Design a. Recommendation Promotes "All Ages and Abilities" by Providing Separation From Motor Vehicles (Qualitative) • Description: What type of separation from motor vehicles would the recommendation provide? Recommendations with a greater level of separation from motor vehicles will receive the highest scores. • Scoring o 1 = Shared lane 112 Appendices DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan 0 3 = New or improved sidewalk, new or improved crosswalk, intersection improvement, or standard striped bike lane 0 5 = New or improved path project or separated bike lane 4. Economy a. Proximity to Retail District • Description: Does the recommendation lie within a 1/2 mile or less of a retail -based business district or full -service grocery store? Recommendations in close proximity to business districts will receive the highest scores. • Scoring 0 0 = Not near a retail district or full -service grocery store 0 1 = within '/2 mile from a retail district or full -service grocery store 0 3 = within 'A mile from a retail district or full -service grocery store 0 5 = within 500 feet from a retail district or full -service grocery store b. Proximity to Key Destinations • Description: Does the recommendation lie within a 'A mile to 1 mile of a key destination in Lexington? Recommendations will receive the highest scores if they are located in close proximity to any of the following: o Lexington Center (includes Town Hall/Cary Hall, Depot Square) o Minuteman National Historic Park o Battle Green/Belfry Hill o Lincoln Park o Lexington Community Center • Scoring 0 0 = Not near a key destination 0 1 = 1 mile from a key destination 0 3 = 1/2 mile from a key destination 0 5 = 'A mile from a key destination S. Feasibility a. Level of Environmental and Engineering Challenges (Qualitative) • Description: Would the recommendation create significant engineering and/or right of way challenges, require environmental permitting, and/or lead to conflicts with utilities? Any of these would require additional funding, environmental permitting/mitigation, and/or potentially lengthy negotiations with property owners and utility companies. • Scoring o 1 = Anticipated high level of engineering complexity, such as involving environmental permitting, right of way acquisitions, relocating curbs, drainage, utilities, and/or grade separated paths/bike lanes/crossings 113 Appendices DRAFT Lexington Town -wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan 0 3 = Anticipated modest level of engineering complexity, such as building a new sidewalk, installation or modification of signal infrastructure, or substantial changes in traffic operations 0 5 = Little to no engineering complexity anticipated, such as road markings, signage, or installation of a solar -powered RRFB b. Impact to Existing On -Street Parking (Qualitative) Description: Would the recommendation remove parking that is heavily utilized (e.g., in a commercial area) or restrict parking where parking is allowed, by rarely used (e.g., in residential areas)? • Scoring o 1 = Linear recommendation removes well -utilized and/or commercial parking on one side of the street 0 2 = Linear recommendation removes well -utilized and/or commercial parking along a portion of one side of the street 0 3 = Linear recommendation removes residential parking on both sides of the street where demand is low or inconsistent; crosswalk or intersection project that impacts > 2 parking spaces 0 4 = Linear recommendation removes residential parking on one side of the street where demand is low or inconsistent; crosswalk project that impacts 1- 2 parking spaces o 5 = Recommendation has no impact on parking c.

SUGGESTED MOTION: FOLLOW-UP: DATE AND APPROXIMATE TIME ON AGENDA: 11/27/2023 7:30pm ATTACHMENTS: Description Type From: Bruce Neumann Sent: Monday, November 20, 2023 5:14 PM Lexington Select Board Received 11 /20/2023 On behalf of the larger group supporting this work: Bruce Neumann, Justine Neely, Patricia Jacotin, Anne Mason, and Jessie Steigerwalt Summary of activity and status of Migrant Families sheltered in Lexington Summary: Over the past month, the Town of Lexington has taken in some 30 families, mostly from Haiti, Venezuela, and central America, as part of the state's guarantee -to -shelter policy. Town employees are engaged on multiple fronts, and volunteers are stepping up to take on other needs. But we lack a central and clear map of how the Town of Lexington will support and welcome our newest residents from their arrival through a point where they have secure housing, employment, healthcare and insurance. These families are our families, and we would like them to have access to Town services, including the library, the Community Center, and public transportation. Schools are focused on children, but we need the Town to help support the adults, and the children who are not enrolled in the schools (babies/toddlers/preschool age children). Childcare, including babysitting, is crucial to help the parents find jobs, enroll in benefits, and receive medical attention. We do not have a volunteer -run pre-school or childcare center. Can the town, working with volunteers, find a way to provide this need? This might include space in a public building and it might include a revised LexPress route Equally, English as a Second Language (ESL) classes will be critical to their eventual autonomy and success. If necessary, can the town help find a space for these classes, and if necessary support transportation? We, the volunteers engaged in ad -hoc support of these families, find ourselves near - overwhelmed by the scope of what needs to be done, a lack of structure or authority amongst us, and the weight of these new residents' needs. Any organizational help from the town would be welcome. History• On or around October 20, six families were placed by the state at the Aloft hotel in Lexington, as part of the Mass. guarantee of shelter to families program. Over the next couple of weeks 24 more families arrived, for a total of 30, split between the Aloft and the adjacent Element Hotels. Fairly soon after their arrival, organizations and faith communities learned about this and began networking, forming a loose coalition bonded by the sense that we need to help those in our midst who have been less fortunate than the average Lexington citizen. After some initial contact with the National Guard members learned what the most immediate needs were. First Parish set up: 1) an Amazon wish list for on -going personal needs, formula and diapers. 2) An account which would accept monetary donations to support these families and 3) a form allowing potential volunteers to come forward for as -yet -undefined volunteer roles. Two volunteers who speak Haitian Creole, plus a few others, created a very private census of the people living there, with family makeup, country of origin, immediate needs and clothing sizes. [Note that the state, the hotels, and the National Guard do not seem to have much communication — the NG has had to create its own census of who is there]. Since the next -most urgent need was clothing for folks who had originated in warmer climes, a number of volunteers used a portion of the money that had been raised to buy winter coats and shoes for all the residents. These were purchased and delivered over the Nov. 11-12 weekend. The small group with access to the census is in close contact with LPS homeless coordinator on their own initiative. They coordinated clothing/school needs. This weekend, Nov 18-19, an initial clothing drive will happen to provide all residents with a few changes of basic clothes. We expect this to be followed by another drive to expand the palette of clothing options, possibly including one set of better clothes to wear to church and/or asylum hearings. Meetings A few of us are in contact with Rumi Pavlova of the State Department of Developmental Services. Rumi has some oversight of the northeast region of shelters. A number of us met, by our request, with the Town manager and other town employees (an incomplete list is Joanne Belanger of the Health Department, Matt Small the LPS Homeless Liaison, and the two town social workers). We had hoped that the town would be able to help not just with specific areas (health and education) but with overall organization. We heard that all town employees are fully occupied already, and there was no staff to help with organizing solutions to other on -going needs. Coming out of that meeting was an agreement for several members of this ad -hoc coordinating group to meet once a week with a few town employees to share knowledge of what's going on. A few of us met with 2 representatives from International Institute of New England (IINE). There's a possibility that this organization may have some support, most particularly in finding cash assistance for those who are not eligible through DTA, however they do not currently have a contract with the Lexington's shelters The ad -hoc coordinating team, recognizing the limits of communicating by email, agreed to have a weekly zoom meeting to compare notes on what is happening and what needs doing. The first meeting of this group was Nov. 15. The ad -hoc coordinating team includes representatives from First Parish Church, Grace Chapel, Church of our Redeemer, Sacred Heart/St. Brigid's, Temple Isaiah, LexRAP, the Lexington Community Coalition, and a few unaffiliated individuals. What's what: The State is providing the rooms, and three meals a day of less -than -desirable food. The National Guard is on -site from 12:00 to 6:00 everyday, providing humanitarian assistance. They are the first point of contact for the families in the hotels. Our interactions with the NG have shown them to be caring, dedicated individuals, who are hampered by the volume of need and limited tools to meet those needs. Neither the NG or volunteers are trained in legal issues, or how to ascertain status of benefits like cash assistance and Mass Health. Communication and ownership of responsibility are on -going hurdles. The state is overwhelmed, and different agencies appear to have different responsibilities. The state has no formal mode of communication with the NG. It's unclear if anyone is poised to help these folks request a change of venue for appointments with homeland security — if this doesn't happen, they will be expected to show up in a different state. Who knows how to find out whether they have applied for work authorization? Who is going to help them request a local provider within MassHealth (there's a short window before MA Health assigns them somewhere which could be quite a distance away). Because there are 3 women who expect to give birth in December, these needs are urgent. This group of volunteers would love to think these things which require government interface, are being thought about and taken care of in a timely fashion, but we are not sure this is so. Needs that we can attend to or help with: • Formula, Diapers, personal products [on -going] • Clothing [In -progress] • ESL We hope we can support this with some volunteers, but lack coordination Could the town stipend a teacher (retired or otherwise) to oversee and coordinate this program? • Supplemental Food We have had some contact with the food pantry, LexEat, and FoodLink in Arlington, but have yet to step in to coordinate how this happens • Transportation: The state will pay for rides to medical and legal if booked the day before, but there are needs that don't fall under that: semi -urgent medical that doesn't need an ambulance; a sick child at school who needs to be picked up; shopping. We may be able to find some volunteers, can the town assist in some way? E.G. a LexPress route that had stops at Stop & Shop and Lex Center? • Babysitting [see below "How the town can help"] o In -hotel? o Programs elsewhere o Other events, like library or community center • Establishing Personal relationships o Help folks feel welcomed, feel less stranded o Build on ESL o Help folks begin to understand US culture o Teach them about the "T," give rides to shopping, etc. Needs that others should be doing, but we might need to confirm or support Note that benefits may different for TPS and HP • Legal o Venue change for hearings • Status of Employment Authorization • SNAP • WIC • Cash Assistance (some through DTA, other perhaps through IINE "RCA" funding) • Mass Health o Registration o Choosing a plan and location How can the town help? Some of these areas of concern will take considerable effort to organize and maintain. Support in coordination would be invaluable, as there are limits to the volunteers' abilities and stamina Specific things the town can help with include: • An overall coordinator, such as Bedford has • Taking over doing CORI checks. Currently LexRAP is doing this. The town taking this over would support privacy for volunteers, and safety for our new residents • Allocate a collection space for a clothing drive. For example, if the Town would provide a spacious area for a full weekend, we could take in donations on a Saturday, and create a "free store" on Sunday. This would give residents the greatest dignity. They could select what fits. What we are doing now is a band -aid that is costly and very inefficient • Help figuring out what the state provides, and what the town is providing, so the volunteers can focus on the rest. How do we find answers about status of DTA, immigration, and MassHealth? The Town could coordinate a Teaching Session to train volunteers who can then help translate for residents • Can the town help requesting/funding a room at Aloft/Element that could be used by volunteers for storage and distribution? • Ability to use Lexpress for occasional, specific events, Include the hotels as a regular Lexpress stop • Funds: perhaps from the Fund for Lexington • Help creating a decision tree: when a migrant -resident asks for help, how do we know where to point them? • ESL: It seems that many local programs have a long waiting list, at the same time these folks would benefit greatly from getting started right away. Can the town help figure out a program for this group at the hotels? We likely have volunteers who, with some training could act as instructors • Translation: every interaction of any importance requires translation from/to Haitian Creole, Portuguese, or Spanish. • Childcare: Can we figure out how to provide some childcare? 1) regular childcare for non -school aged kids. 2) on -demand babysitting for Healthcare or legal appointments Change of catering at the hotels: Many residents have said they are feeling weak due to the current meal plan. The state is open to bids from caterers, but there is some work to consider what restaurants would be willing, able, and more culturally appropriate, and encourage them to apply.

The study request is for $6,250 which is 25% of the local match of $25,000 which will match a Massport contribution of $25,000 for a total study cost of $50,000. The other towns that have been requested to participate are Lincoln, Bedford and Concord. The Board had requested an up d ate on the gift funds that was in the Select Board account as an alternate funding option. Carolyn Ko s no ff confirmed the last remaining funds from that account were used in 2022 for the Select Board's retreat and the fund has been fully expended.

Material Name of Project: Measuring air pollution exposure in the Hanscom Field area towns $61250 Hanscom Field Advisory Commission Project Cost: Department: Cost Basis: 6,250 for Lexington's portion of $50,000 research project, the remaining money will come from $6250 ontributions from Lincoln, Bedford, and Concord and $25,000 contributed by the Massport Community ►dvisory Committee ( ) Please describe the project: The study will obtain and analyze measurements of particulate and gaseous air pollutants with the objective to characterize the impact of aviation activity on local air quality and make recommendations for future monitoring and mitigations. Beginning the work soon is important, because the results could affect how elected officials and the public consider the impact of a proposed expansion of jet operations at Hanscom Field. The research will measure ultrafine particles (particles smaller than 100 nanometers), nitrogen dioxide, black carbon, airborne particulate matter smaller than 2.5 micrometers (a regulated pollutant which will be analyzed for Pb (lead) and other elements) and carbon dioxide at residential and school locations and a long-term continuous monitoring site. Ultrafine particles, because of their microscopic size, evade our body's evolutionary defenses against harmful substances as well as the protections we would ordinarily expect in indoor locations. The study will be performed by Dr. Neelakshi Hudda of Tufts university and her research assistants. It will also conduct mobile monitoring to understand the extent of impacts in Bedford, Concord, Lincoln, and Lexington. Researchers will monitor in a rotational design at up to 6 residential/school locations, set- up a long-term monitoring site (at least 6 months) in predominantly downwind areas, and conduct mobile monitoring. The study will be designed to be: (1) responsive to the North Field expansion DEIR and (2) responsive to the Hanscom Field Advisory Committee (HFAC) requests. Additional submissions supporting this proposal in an accompanying document include: 1) a more detailed technical proposal, 2) examples of Dr. Hudda's scholarly work on environmental pollution at airports, 3) a copy of a letter from US Assistant Secretary for Health, Admiral Levine, to the FAA urging the FAA to consider air quality and health impacts in greater detail at a general aviation airport undergoing expansion. (Dr. Hudda contributed to the New Haven study.) and 4) a summary of the literature on impacts of aviation's emission on ultrafine particles and health. Deliverables: 1) Create study design for review by Hanscom Field Advisory Commission 2) Perform air quality monitoring in Hanscom area towns over multi -month periods in the winter and summer of 2024 3) Deliver a report summarizing the study results and present the report to a Hanscom Field Advisory Commission public meeting and other venues as requested Please describe how this meets the Select Board's Nexus with COVID Pandemic: This project relates to The Select Board's priority for ARPA spending relating to public health and safety. The environmental review for the proposed Northfield jet hangar project is expected to underestimate the risk to nearby towns, because current environmental regulations relating to airport activity do not require all of the measurements proposed in this ® In particular, ultrafine particles - that are associated with systemic inflammation and cardiovascular disease - remain completely unstudied around Hanscom although they are produced in large numbers by jets. It is in keeping with the Select Board's goals to be proactive in gaining knowledge that could help in protecting the health of Lexington residents and workers. Date Submitted to the Town Manager: November, 13, 2023 Submitted By: Barbara Katzenberg, Lexington representative of the Hanscom Field Advisory Commission A proposal to characterize air quality in the vicinity of Hanscom Field Introduction: Airport -related emissions can adversely impact air quality. Hanscom Field — the largest GAA in New England — is located in vicinity of residential areas and could undergo an expansion that would further increase private jet traffic. Based on our many previous works around airports and preliminary monitoring around Hanscom (see figure on the right), it is reasonable to assume that communities are exposed to relatively high levels of ultrafine particulates (and other aviation -origin pollutants compared to background concentrations). In light of the current aviation growth trend and a possible expansion at Hanscom, it is advisable to characterize the impacts and understand the baseline air quality. Objective: Conduct measurements of particulate and gaseous air pollutants to characterize the impact of aviation activity on local air quality and make recommendations for future monitoring and mitigations. Proposed Study Design: Measure ultrafine particles, nitrogen dioxide, black carbon, airborne PM2.5 (which will be analyzed for Pb and other elements) and carbon dioxide at residential locations and a long-term continuous monitoring site. Also conduct mobile monitoring to understand the extent of impacts in Bedford, Concord, Lincoln, and Lexington. We propose to monitor in a rotational design at up to 6 residential/school locations, set-up a long-term monitoring site (at least 6 months) in predominantly downwind area, and conduct mobile monitoring. Study will be designed to be: (1) responsive to the North Field expansion DEIR and (2) responsive to the Hanscom Field Advisory Committee (HFAC) requests (we will submit a study plan with specifics on locations and schedule for review and revise as necessary). Expected help from HFAC and/or community: Introductions to location owners if specific locations are needed, and help in obtaining flight activity data from Hanscom authorities. Deliverables and Timeline: A study design for review by HFAC (in the first month of the contract), draft (for review by HFAC) and final reports, and presentations (to HFAC or public meetings as requested). We recommend a minimum of 10-month contract period (so we can monitor for a few months in summer and winter, process results and report). Costs: We estimate a cost of $50,000.

Dear Mr. Pato and Selectboard members, At our meeting on November 21, 2023, the Lexington Board of Health discussed the request for allocation of $6,250 for the study: "Measuring air pollution exposure in the Hanscom Field area towns." The BOH is highly supportive of this study and the allocation to conduct it.

Summary of ultrafine particle impacts and associated health effects near airports. Adverse effects of elevated noise exposures in near -airport communities are well established. Exposure to airport noise is associated with an increased risk of hypertension1-6in a dose -dependent manner''$ — meaning that the more noise people are exposed to, the higher their risk of hypertension. Research has shown that people living in communities around airports are more likely to be taking prescription anti -hypertensive medication 4,9,'0 and have higher rates of cardiovascular disease 3'11, cardiovascular -disorder -related hospitalizations12'13, and cardiovascular -disease -associated mortality14,15. There is also evidence for adverse birth outcomes 16, increased rates of hospitalization due to respiratory diseases17 and learning deficits in children who live near airports.11-20 In contrast, adverse effects of airport -related emissions on ground -level air quality are under -recognized and under -estimated. Starting in 2014, the impacts of aviation emissions on ground -level ambient ultrafine particle concentrations were found to extend over unexpectedly large areas near airports and in particular along flight paths.21 Since then many studies have demonstrated that aviation exhaust is the major source of ultrafine particle pollution in downwind communities. For example, elevated ultrafine particle concentrations were reported downwind as far as 4.5 miles of Logan Airport in Boston22, 10 mile of SEATAC Airport in Seattle23 and 12 miles of Los Angeles International Airport 024 Ultrafine particles that ��,w��d��,w�,w�,w�,w�,�,��,w�,w�,��u�.,�,�n��w�,��,w��:�,w��,w�,w��d�,��,u�,�,�,.,��,�,��.��u��,��,��,w��,w�,�..................._............................�.......................................�.............�....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... .._......�......��.........................._........mm.................... . . . . . . ka emitted at very high rates by jet aircraft25 and are�. harmful to human health. w ON Ultrafine particles are 6 unuu yuy +un vn�uu 1, ,D )uunn,Y ome ��000 y. 9 nry oy o 0 oo n�: defined as particles with diameter <100 nm.

Key findings from research near two major airports in the US, want to briefly detail what we know about the air Figure 1: Pattern of elevated concentrations of ultrafine particles near quality impacts and health LAX. Elevation in particle number concentrations comapred to normal effects from some recent backgound levels is visualized. work at two major airports in US: Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Loan International Airport (BOS). These findings are of great public health concern because higher levels of ultrafine particle are commonly found downwind of airports, affecting large densely populated residential areas. Before the pandemic, LAX supported -1900 operations/day and BOS supported -1000 operations/day. In comparison, Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) supported -700 operations/day. Key findings are as follows: 1. Airport -origin pollution is the major source of elevated ultrafine particle concentrations in communities downwind of LAX and BOS. • Ultrafine particle concentrations in the geographic area around LAX were at least 100% higher than typical background as far as 12 miles downwind and were 500% higher within 5 miles of LAX. 24 The level of increase in ultrafine particle pollution near LAX is equivalent to that from 25% of all highways/freeways in Los Angeles county. • Similarly, at locations 2.5 miles and 4.5 miles from BOS, ultrafine particle concentrations were 100% and 33% higher, respectively, when winds were from the direction of the airport compared to other directions.22 Further, ultrafine concentrations were positively correlated with flight activity and increased with increasing wind speed, suggesting that aircraft exhaust plumes were the likely source. 2. Airport -origin ultrafine particle pollution penetrates into residences and impacts (outdoors and indoors) are the particularly large for homes under the flight trajectories. • In a study of 16 residences located in the greater Boston metropolitan area, the median concentrations of ultrafine particles were 70% higher when homes were downwind of the airport. 33 • At a residence under the flight trajectory of the most utilized runway near BOS, it was found that when the residence was downwind of the airport the concentrations of ultrafine particles, oxides of nitrogen (NO, NO2 and NOx), black carbon, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were 1.1- to 4.8-fold higher. In fact, NO2 concentrations at the residence exceeded those measured at regulatory monitoring sites in the area including one adjacent to an interstate highways.34 • Further, the impacts were highest during landings: average ultrafine concentration was 7.5-fold higher from landings versus takeoffs on the closest runway. 34 •Overall, 70% of ultrafine particle concentrations present outdoors were also present indoors, indicating there is substantial infiltration of aviation -origin emissions and building envelope does not provide protection from this air pollution. Infiltration resulted in indoor concentrations on ultrafine particles that were comparable to ambient concentrations measured locally on roadways and on interstate highways.34 • Similarly, at LAX the highest ultrafine particle concentrations were detected at locations under the landing jets and consisted mainly of ultrafine particles smaller than 40 nanometers.35 The predominance of smaller sized particles in the impacted areas increased lung deposition fractions by 15-40%.35 (The uniquely small size of particles associated with airport -origin air pollution was reconfirmed in Seattle under flight paths up to 10 miles downwind of Seatac.23 ) 3. Airport -origin ultrafine particle pollution has adverse health effects, especially for vulnerable populations. • An increased risk of pre -term birth was reported women who lived near LAX and were exposed during pregnancy to higher concentrations of ultrafine particles from aircraft.36 • An increased risk of malignant brain cancer residents was also found in people who lived near LAX and were exposed to higher levels ultrafine particulates from aircraft activity.37 • In a study of short-term effects, exposure to LAX -related ultrafine particles was associated with increased levels of IL-6 (a blood marker of inflammation) in adult asthmatics following mild walking activity.38 (In study near Schiphol Airport (Amsterdam, The Netherlands), short-term exposures (five hours) to aviation -related ultrafine particles was also associated with decreased lung function in healthy young adults. 39` (Also, airport apron workers have also been identified as a neglected occupation setting for which health effects are not well understood.ao) (Studies that advance understanding of the chemical constituents and toxicity of pollutants ranging from ultrafine particles to the visible combustion or fuel residue commonly reported by near -airport residents are also critically needed.) There is broad compelling evidence for adverse air quality and health effects in near -airport communities. Recent findings further underscore the importance of understanding the local impacts on air quality and health. Studying the health and environmental impacts of commercial aviation can provide critical guidance needed to support aviation operations while protecting the health of local communities. RUMV ■ 1.

We investigated"mil, outdoor and indoor ultrafine particle number concentrations (PNC) from 16 residences located in two study areas in the greater Boston metropolitan area (MA, USA) for evidence of aviation -related e impacts. During winds from the direction of Logan International Airport, that is, impact -sector winds,„ an increase in outdoor and indoor PNC was clearly evident at all seven residences in the Chelsea *' study area (N4—S km from the airport) and three out of nine residences in the Boston study area'°" (NS-6 km from the airport); the median increase during impact -sector winds compared to other" winds was 1.7-fold for both outdoor and indoor PNC. Across all residences during impact -sector and P � other winds, median outdoor PNC were 19 000 and 10 000 particles/cm 3, respectively, and median indoor PNC were 7000 and 4000 particles/cm3, respectively. Overall, our results indicate that 1, nlemm a ti „rr` aviation -related outdoor PNC infiltrate indoors and result in significantly higher indoor PNC. Our Airpfort study provides compelling evidence for the impact of aviation -related emissions on residential exposures. Further investigation is warranted because these impacts are not expected to be unique to Logan airport. 11111111111111 11 II 11PRODUC IIF III Aircraft engine exhaust emissions are a significant source of ultrafine particles (UFP; aerodynamic diameter < 100 nm) and can cause several -fold increases in ground -level particle number concentrations (PNC) over large areas downwind of air- ports.1— The spatial extent and magnitude of the impact varies depending on factors including wind direction and speed, runway use pattern, and flight activity but encompasses large populations in cities where airports are located close to the urban residential areas. For example, in Amsterdam, PNC (a proxy for UFP) were found to be elevated 7 km downwind of Schiphol Airport while in Los Angeles, PNC were reported to be elevated 18 km downwind of Los Angeles International Airport.1,3 Thus, it is important to characterize aviation -related UFP. Previous studies have shown that UFP can cross biological boundaries (entering the circulatory system) due to their extremely small size.S-7 Exposure to UFP is of particular concern because it is associated with inflammation biomarkers, oxidative stress and cardiovascular disease. Recent exposure assessment studies have started testing airport variables in UFP predictive models,8-12 but epidemiological studies that incorporate airports in the exposure assessment are lacking; currently, they primarily focus on traffic -related UFP. To better inform UFP exposure assessment efforts, it is also important to distinguish aviation -related contributions from other urban sources and to characterize them independently. This is particularly challenging in urban areas with pervasive and dense road networks. Furthermore, studies have shown that residing in the vicinity of airports is significantly associated with hospitalization for cardiovascular disease; 13,14 however, there the focus has been on association between cardiovascular health effects and increased noise around airports, which can be confounded by UFP. To date, no studies described in the literature investigate the health effects of UFP, or of noise controlling for UFP, around airports. In a previous study, we found that during winds from the direction of the Logan International Airport (Boston, MA) PNC at two long-term, central monitoring stations located 4 km and TS km downwind of the airport were 2-fold and 1.33- fold higher, respectively, compared to average for all other winds. In the current study, we investigated residential data sets from wider areas surrounding those two central sites. Our primary objectives were (1) to investigate short-term residential PNC monitoring data for evidence of aviation -related impacts that could be identified despite the influence of other urban sources of UFP, and (2) to analyze the data for evidence of indoor infiltration of aviation -related PNC.

Logan International Airport and Central and Resi- dential Monitoring Sites. The General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport is located 1.6 km east of downtown Boston ( (a)).

Prevailing winds in the Boston region are westerly (northwest in winter and southwest in summer, combined annual frequency 56%, see Figure (b)). The downwind advection of airport -related emissions occurs largely over urban areas located east and northeast of the airport as well as over the ocean during prevailing winds. During easterly winds, several other urban areas are downwind of the airport. We studied two of these areas: Chelsea and Boston. In Chelsea, outdoor (i.e., ambient) and indoor monitoring was conducted at seven residences that were located 3.7-4.9 km downwind from the airport along 133°-165° azimuth angles measured to the geographic center of the airport (Figure (a)). Each residence was monitored for six consecutive weeks between February — December 2014. Ambient monitoring was also conducted continuously at a central site in Chelsea (located on top of a three-story building) during the entire I I - month period ( (a)). In Boston, monitoring was conducted at nine residences between May 2012 and October 2013. The residences were located 5.0-10.0 km downwind from the airport along 43°-74° azimuth angles measured to the geographic center of the airport. Monitoring was also conducted continuously during this 18-month period at a central site in Boston —the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Speciation Trends Network site (ID: 25-025-0042). Central sites were selected based on their proximity to the geographic center and representativeness for the study area. Residential sites were selected based on their proximity to highways and major roads (the latter defined as annual average daily traffic >20 000) : four sites were < 100 m, seven between 100 and 200 m, and five >200 m from highways or major roads. Monitoring schedule, meteorological parameter summary, residence characteristics, and distance to major roadways are shown in SI Tables . During the six -weeks of monitoring at each residence, a HEPA filter (HEPAirX, Air Innovations, Inc., North Syracuse, NY) was operated in the room where the condensation particle counter (CPC) was located for three consecutive weeks followed by three consecutive weeks of sham filtration or vice versa. Only nonsmoking residences were recruited and we found no evidence of smoking in residences. Residences were monitored one or two at a time with limited overlap between monitoring periods. For further details of residential monitor- ing and filtration, see Simon et al.'s and Brugge et al.,1 respectively. Instruments and Data Acquisition. PNC were moni- tored using four identical water -based CPCs (model 3783, TSI Inc., Shoreview MN), which recorded 30 s or 1 min average concentrations. The CPCs were annually calibrated at TSI and measured to within +10% of one another, consistent with manufacturer -stated error. Ambient PNC were monitored continuously at the central -sites. At residences, a solenoid valve connected to the inlet switched the air flow between outdoor and indoor air every 15 min. Thus, residential outdoor and indoor PNC were monitored for 30 min per hour. To ensure that the sampling lines (1-m-long conductive silicon tubing for both indoor and outdoor carrying transport flow of 3 L per minute) were fully flushed, the first and last data points per switch were discarded (7-13% of the total). Any data that were flagged by the instruments (< 1 % of the total) and hours with <SO% data recovery were not included in the analysis. Flight records for individual aircraft were obtained from the Massachusetts Port Authority (East Boston, MA) and counted to obtain hourly totals for landings, takeoffs and the sum of the two (LTO). Meteorological data (a 2 min running average at 1 min resolution for wind direction and speed) were obtained from the National Weather Service station at the airport and processed through AERMINUTEI7 (a meteorological process- or developed by EPA for use in AERMET and AERMOD) to obtain hourly values.

Hourly medians were further aggregated by 10°-wide wind -direction sectors, and medians were calculated for each sector. Wind - direction sectors were centered on even 10' and spanned ±S°. Data were also classified as impact -sector versus other based on the wind direction. Winds that positioned monitoring sites downwind of the airport were called impact -sector winds. Impact -sector boundaries ( ) correspond to the azimuth angles measured from a monitoring site to the widest distance across the airport complex ( ). For indoor data we also calculated the hourly minimum in addition to hourly medians. Indoor data were also classified by filtration scenario (HEPA or sham). Indoor measurements reflect contributions from both particles generated indoors and particles of outdoor origin that infiltrate indoors. We did not quantify fraction of indoor- versus outdoor -origin particles. Instead, we compared hourly indoor minimums (less likely to be influenced by indoor -generated PNC spikes) with outdoor PNC to determine if higher indoor PNC occurred during impact -sector winds. During periods of elevated outdoor concentrations, indoor concentrations are also expected to be elevated due to air exchange between residences and their surroundings. Spearman's rank correlation (coefficients reported as rs) was calculated between PNC and wind speed and PNC and LTO. Inferences based on Spearman's rank correlation were limited to ordinal associations. Correlations were considered significant if p-values were <O.OS. Bootstrapped 9S% confidence intervals for the correlation coefficients were also calculated. Further, impact -sector wind data sets at residences were relatively small; they ranged from 30 to 119 h or 3.0-11.8% of the total data. To take the resulting uncertainty into account, we compared distributions of correlation coefficient estimates — generated using bootstrap resampling methods (1 X 104 random samples with replacement) — for impact -sector winds to other winds. Subsamples (1 X 104 random samples without replacement) from other -wind data sets but of size comparable to impact - sector -winds were also compared where appropriate. 11111111111111 RIESUi,,,,,°"> III I.. DISCUSSION We found strong evidence of aviation -related particle infiltration. Outdoor and indoor PNC were statistically significantly higher during impact -sector winds compared to other winds. Wilcoxon rank sum tests indicated that the median of 10°-wide-sector medians from all residences for impact sector winds was higher than other winds for outdoor concentrations (p-value <0.0001) z-value = —8.1) as well as for indoor concentrations during both sham filtration (p-value <0.0001, z-value = —S.1) and HEPA filtration (p-value = 0.0037, z-value = —2.7). Table 1 summarizes indoor and outdoor concentrations. We present detailed results in the following sections where we have organized our lines of reasoning as follows: first, we demonstrate elevated outdoor PNC during different impact - sector winds in the two study areas (each showing an impact when it was oriented downwind of the airport) including sites upwind and downwind of a highway; second, we discuss correlation of outdoor PNC with wind speed and flight activity, which indicated the aviation -related origin of elevated PNC during impact -sector winds; and third, we report indoor trends at all residences and discuss indoor infiltration of aviation - related, elevated, outdoor PNC for two residences in detail. Wind Direction and Ambient PNC Patterns at Residences. Higher ambient PNC were observed during winds that positioned the sites downwind of the airport (i.e., impact -sector winds). Impact sector differed by study area and from residence to residence within the study areas. In Chelsea (located NW of the airport) PNC were elevated during SE winds and in Boston (located SW of the airport) PNC were elevated during NE winds (Figure 1). This impact is thus spatially widely distributed in the Boston area. Chelsea. During impact -sector winds in the Chelsea study area (ESE-S, 111 °— 1820), PNC were elevated at the central site and all seven residences. Residences that were upwind of the highway during impact -sector winds are denoted with a U, residences that were downwind of the highway during impact - sector winds are denoted as D, and community sites that are 1767 DOI: 10.1021 /acs.est.7bO5593 Environ.

Figure 2. (a) Locations of the central site (CO, black) and seven residences monitored in Chelsea.

(b)—(e) Normalized (by the maximum) PNC roses are based on hourly medians; concentric circles are increments of 0.2 on a 0-1 scale. not in proximity of a highway are denoted as C ( ). Median PNC during impact -sector winds were 1.6- to 3.0-fold higher than the medians for all other winds ( ). Highest and lowest residential impact -sector medians were 37 000 and 13 000 particles/cm3, respectively, as compared to 16 000 and 8000 particles/cm' during all other winds. Impact -sector winds occurred for 4.7-11.8% of the time (annually, N 7% in 2014) during the residential monitoring, but their weighted contributions to the monitoring averages were 8-26%. It should be noted that these contributions likely include some input from other sources in impact sectors, such as, traffic. Heatmaps of PNC by wind direction and hour of the day for the central site and all seven residences studied in Chelsea ( c) indicate PNC peaks coincided with morning and evening vehicular and aviation traffic rush -hours. However, these peaks were highly elevated during impact -sector winds even though traffic impacts are not particularly concentrated in the impact sector; only two of the seven residences (DI and D2) were downwind of major roadways and highways during impact -sector winds. Boston. In the Boston study area, a pronounced increase in PNC during impact -sector winds was evident at three sites S.0- 6.1 km downwind of the airport ( ). At residences U1 and U2 (NNE -ENE, 280-61 °), which were both also upwind of Interstate 93 (I-93) ( (b)), median PNC during impact -sector winds were 2S 000 and 20 000 particles/cm 3, respectively, as compared to 1S 000 and 10 000 particles/cm3 during all other winds. At site D 1, which was 6.1 km downwind of the airport and 200 in downwind of I-93 during impact - sector (NE) winds, but impacted by the highway during both NE (310—S90) and SE (11S°-14S°) winds, median PNC were greater during NE winds than during SE winds (29 000 vs 19 000 particles/cm 3, respectively; means were 29 000 ± 46% vs 21 000 + 70% particles/cm 3, respectively) for similar I-93 traffic volume (hourly traffic flow was 7000 ± 47% during times of NE vs 8000 ± 39% during SE winds). At the other six sites in Boston, which were 6.8-10.0 km from the airport, increases in PNC during impact -sector winds were not as distinct (Figure (c)). Ambient median PNC during impact -sector winds, which likely included considerable contributions from upwind sources including busy roadways and highways in Boston, were 1.1- to 1.6-fold higher at these six residences than the medians for all other winds ( I). Heatmaps for PNC by wind direction and time of day for the central site and all residences ( ) indicate PNC peaks coincided with morning and evening vehicular and aviation traffic rush -hours. The impact -sector PNC were lower in Boston compared to Chelsea. Correlations between PNC and Wind Speed. Because higher wind speeds generally promote greater dispersion and mixing, PNC and wind speed are typically negatively correlated. However, for buoyant aviation emissions plumes, higher wind speeds promote faster ground arrival counterbalancing the increased dilution. $ Thus, a distinct feature of aviation emissions impacts (unlike road traffic emissions impacts) is a lack of negative correlation between PNC and wind speed. ' ,2 We too observed this phenomenon. During impact -sector winds at Chelsea and Boston central -sites, the negative correlation between PNC and wind speed was lacking; correlation coefficients were rs = 0.17 and 0.19, n = 43S and 408 h, respectively, and p-value < 0.001. In contrast, during other winds, the expected negative correlation between PNC and wind speed was observed (rs = —0.24 and —O.OS, n = 7SS2 and 10 S37 h, respectively, and p-value < 0.001). Similar trends 1768 DOI: 10.1021 /acs.est.7bO5593 Environ. Sci.

Correlation coefficients for residences are shown in Figure 4 where points have been jittered along the categorical x-axis to reduce overlap. Because impact -sector winds were a small fraction of all winds (3-12% of the total data set) we conducted bootstrap resampling of correlation estimates (rs) and bootstrap subsampling of a similarly small data set from other wind conditions to ensure that the lack of negative correlation was not by chance. The correlation estimates during impact -sector winds were different from the negative estimates obtained for other winds; results are shown in . The contrast in correlation was most evident in Chelsea and sites upwind of I-93 in Boston. Notable exceptions were sites downwind of both a highway and the airport during impact - sector winds likely because they were dominantly impacted by highway emissions given their proximity to the highways. For example, at site D 1 in Boston, we observed no difference in correlation estimates between impact -sector and other winds ( ). In comparison, at sites U1 and U2 in Boston, which were upwind of the highway during impact -sector winds but still downwind of the airport, correlation estimates were C1,11te Is ea .

PN C at both central sites were previously reported to be positively correlated with aviation activity (measured as LTO, the hourly total landings and takeoffs) after controlling for traffic volume, time of day and week, and meteorological factors (wind speed, temperature, and solar radiation). Because the central sites both had relatively large data sets (several years of monitoring), we were able to control for these factors; however, the relatively small PNC data sets for residences and the lack of local traffic volume information limited meaningful controls in the current analysis. Also, because the temporal patterns of flight activity and vehicle traffic are similar, some confounding was observed between PNC and LTO irrespective of the wind direction. For example, Pearson's correlation coefficient for hourly LTO and traffic volume on I-93 in 2012 was 0.85. Nonetheless, Spearman's correlations and the bootstrap analysis (SI Figure indicate that PNC versus LTO correlation estimates during impact -sector winds were generally higher than during other winds; that is, rs ranged from 0.29 to 0.67 during impact - sector winds compared to 0.10-0.54 during other winds, but there were exceptions (see discussion in ). Indoor Infiltration of PNC during Impact -Sector Winds. Overall Trend at Residences. Infiltration of aviation - related outdoor PNC was evident in the data as higher indoor concentrations during impact -sector winds compared to other winds. The median increase in indoor concentrations during impact -sector winds compared to other winds was 1.7-fold (range: 0.9-3.1-fold). PNC measurements (median and minimums) are summarized in Table I for all residences. For trends with respect to wind direction for individual residences see SI Figures, which show an increase in indoor medians coincident with impact -sector winds is more apparent for residences in Chelsea and Boston closer to the airport, while 1769 DOI: 10.1021 /acs.est.7bO5593 Environ.

Because filtration efficiency is not preferential to ambient wind direction, higher concentrations (despite lower indoor -to -outdoor ratios) were still observed during impact -sector winds. Further, this trend was apparent in both the hourly medians and hourly minimums (range: 0.8- 2.9-fold) of indoor PNC even though hourly medians are more likely to be skewed by contributions from indoor sources than the hourly minimums (SI Figure) . Previous studies have shown that ambient PNC infiltrate indoors via multiple pathways such as forced air ventilation systems, open windows, or cracks in the building envelope.2 Infiltration factors vary from 0.03 to 1.02'22 in the ultrafine range, the size range for the majority of the aviation -related particulate emissions.3 Infiltration of aviation -related PNC and, resultantly, an increase in indoor PNC and residential exposures can thus be expected in near -airport residences. Our results clearly indicate that to be the case; particles of aviation -related origin infiltrate residences. Two cases are illustrated in detail in the following section. Illustration of Infiltration at Select Residences. Infiltration of PNC is illustrated for residence C3 in Chelsea in Figure (a). Time series of indoor PNC closely followed the same pattern as outdoor PNC during an 18-h period of consistent 1770 1u1+ 2 f J, 07 Figure 6.

The horizontal line inside each box is the median, the boxes extend from the 25th to the 75th percentile and the whiskers extend to 1.5*interquartile range. ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... impact -sector winds (from 1900 h on Oct 6 to 1200 h on Oct 7, 2014). During hours of minimal flight activity (0100-0500 h; LTO = 1.5 h-1), PNC indoors and outdoors at C3 and the central site were all low but increased as flight activity resumed after --0500 h. Residential outdoor PNC was also remarkably highly correlated (Pearson's r = 0.96) with the central site located 1 km away indicating the spatial homogeneity of the aviation -related impact over a large area. Further, even though it was past the evening traffic rush-hour period (and thus traffic would have contributed minimally to the observations or for that matter particle formation) when the winds shifted (at N 1900 h) to the impact sector, outdoor and central -site concentrations increased to high levels (1 min averages were between 50 000 and 100 000 particles/cm'), which underscores the magnitude of this impact. In comparison, Simon et al. reported mean 1 min on -road PNC from 180 h of mobile monitoring across Chelsea including traffic rush -hours was 32 000 particles/cm' which was about one third to one half of the observed PNC at C3 during impact -sector winds. Overall, at C3, the median indoor PNC was nearly 3-fold higher for impact -sector winds compared to other winds (8900 versus 2800 particle/cm') ( (c), SI Figure S42). DOI: 10.1021 /acs.est.7bO5593 Environ. Sci. TechnoL 2018, 52, 1765-1772 Environmental Science &Technology 111101 Figure 7. Outdoor PNC at residences during six -week monitoring periods in Chelsea (a) and Boston (b). Median of hourly medians classified as impact -sector and other winds are shown. Another example of infiltration is shown in Figure SS3(a) where a 22-h period of generally consistent impact -sector winds is highlighted (from 1900 h on Nov 6 to 1700 h on Nov 7, 2012) for residence U1 from the Boston study area. Ul is relatively close to I-93 but it is upwind of the highway during impact -sector winds. Outdoor concentrations during impact - sector winds from 1900 h to as late as midnight on Nov 6-7, 2012 were --40 000 particles/cm' but then decreased to as low as 2000 particles/cm' during the hours of low flight activity at the airport (LTO decreased from 32 h-1 to 2.8 h-1 during 1900-0000 h to 0000—OS00 h). The indoor PNC time series was consistent with the outdoor concentration during these hours. Both outdoor and indoor concentration started increasing again around OS00 h when flight activity resumed at the airport; however, around 0800 h indoor PNC spiked, likely from an indoor particle -generation event that dominated indoor PNC during the following hours despite impact -sector winds. Overall, the median indoor PNC was 2-fold higher for impact -sector winds compared to other winds (IS 000 versus 7400 particles/cm3) (Figure c ) Strength and Limitations. To our knowledge this is the first investigation of the impacts of aviation -related emissions at residences around airports. Our results show an increase in outdoor as well as indoor PNC. These findings point to the need for studies to provide further characterization of these impacts (e.g., measure additional pollutants in a greater number and variety of residences both near and far from airports and under a greater diversity of meteorological conditions and indoor activities). Our study also had limitations. The foremost is that monitoring was not specifically designed for quantifying the impacts of aviation -related emissions on indoor and outdoor PNC. Data were collected as part of the Boston Puerto Rican Health Study (a study of exposure to urban air pollution and cardiovascular health effects in a Puerto Rican cohort 13), but it allowed for the reported analysis because of the residences' proximity to and distribution around the airport. Ideally, for quantifying the aviation -related impacts and distinguishing them from other outdoor sources (such as traffic) and indoor sources (such as cooking), continuous indoor and outdoor monitoring at several locations in carefully characterized residences with indoor time -activity records would be necessary. In addition, the study was not designed to characterize the air exchange rates or infiltration factors for ambient particles. As a result, we could not quantify the contribution of indoor- versus outdoor -origin PNC to total indoor observations, or more pertinently the contribution from aviation -related outdoor PNC to indoor observations. Further, the lack of concurrent data from all or even multiple residences precluded spatial analysis. Residence -to -residence differences in outdoor and indoor PNC (Figure and Table 1) were observed. For example, at sites closer to the airport PNC were generally higher than farther away, but at sites immediately downwind of highways, even though they were farther downwind of the airport, PNC were even higher, likely due to impacts from both aviation -related and traffic emissions. Such spatial differences were not investigated. Observed outdoor concentration differences were likely not solely due to the differences in spatial location with respect to the airport or other sources; temporal differences (e.g., meteorological and seasonal factors) likely also contributed significantly, but they could not be controlled for due to lack of concurrent data. Significance of the Results. Altogether, our results make a compelling case for further investigation of aviation -related air pollution impacts and resulting exposures because these impacts are not expected to be unique to Logan airport. Extrapolating from Correia et al. 3, we estimate that in the United States —40 million people live near 89 major airports (i.e., within areas with >4S dB noise levels near airports). Inclusion of aviation -related impacts may also improve predictive models for exposure assessments. Future studies of this impact with concurrently located sites that allow analysis of the spatial gradient and comparison with traffic impacts could be very informative for ultrafine particle epidemiology. 11111111111111 III ""IFI Ili CON""IFI II ""r © Supporting Information The Supporting Information is available free of charge on the ACS Publications s° at DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.7bOSS93.

According to the draft environmental assessment (draft EA) published in March of 2023, 1 the proposal would extend Runway 02 by approximately 639 feet and Runway 20 by 336 feet with the purpose of allowing Avelo Airlines the sole carrier operating at Tweed to increase total air traffic and expand the use of Boeing 737-800 aircraft, which are more carbon intensive than the Boeing 737-700 aircraft currently in use.2 The draft EA does not fully assess how increased flights by larger commercial airplanes threaten public health in already heavily burdened neighborhoods. In addition to asthma, ozone concentration and other environmental health burdens, it does not fully account for the current and potential increased use of leaded fuel by small private aircraft, which put communities at higher risk for lead exposure. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently established an Office of Environmental Justice, which I oversee as Assistant Secretary for Health. The Office's mission is to protect the health of disadvantaged communities and vulnerable populations on the front lines of pollution and other environmental hazards that affect health. I share this letter in that capacity. 1 Tweed New Haven Airport: NEPA Draft Environmental Assessment Runway 02-20 Extension and Terminal Expansion Program. Draft Environmental Assessment.

According to the New Haven Equity Profile, White New Haven residents aged 18 to 34 have an asthma rate of 18 percent, while Black New Haven residents in the same age group have a 23 percent rate and Latino New Haven residents have a 30 percent rate. The same disparity holds true across age groups, with White residents aged 35 to 49 having a 15 percent rate compared to 23 percent for Black residents and 20 percent for Latino residents; White residents aged 50 to 64 having a 13 percent rate compared to 18 percent for Black residents and 30 percent for Latino residents; and White residents aged 65 and older facing a 10 percent asthma rate compared to 15 percent for Black residents and 39 percent for Latino residents. ll The likelihood that the proposed expansion will worsen health outcomes along similarly disparate lines, given the connection between asthma and poor health outcomes near airports, strongly suggests the need for further analysis. I respectfully encourage the FAA to carefully consider the cumulative environmental health stressors in the area adjacent to Tweed -New Haven Airport and how the proposed expansion may further worsen public health in already heavily burdened communities, with particular attention given to the schools, elder care facilities, and other sensitive receptor congregation points in a five - mile radius. By allowing for more frequent flights by larger aircraft with more powerful engines, all expansion scenarios would increase health risks in these neighborhoods, several of which rank among the most cumulatively impacted communities in the United States according to the Environmental Justice Index. In such heavily burdened areas, health -protective options can include: 1) installing air filters at schools, elder care facilities, and other public facilities within five miles of the airport; 2) an airport "CHART: CT emergency room visits for asthma by race. tt1r)s.w.// t............._ �°W. g/ 023/01/ /ct _e ergency roo astlh_ a,,,,,,b�ack,,,,,,hispanic,,,,,, hite/.

LAX emissions adversely impacted air quality much farther than reported in previous airport studies. We measured at least a 2-fold increase in PN concentrations over unimpacted baseline PN concentrations during most hours of the day in an area of about 60 km2 that extended to 16 km (10 miles) downwind and a 4- to 5-fold increase to 8-10 km (5-6 miles) downwind. Locations of maximum PN concentrations were aligned to eastern, downwind jet trajectories during prevailing westerly winds and to 8 km downwind concentrations exceeded 75 000 particles/ cm3, more than the average freeway PN concentration in Los Angeles. During infrequent northerly winds, the impact area remained large but shifted to south of the airport. The freeway length that would cause an impact equivalent to that measured in this study (i.e., PN concentration increases weighted by the area impacted) was estimated to be 280-790 km. The total freeway length in Los Angeles is 1500 km. These results suggest that airport emissions are a major source of PN in Los Angeles that are of the same general magnitude as the entire urban freeway network. They also indicate that the air quality impact areas of major airports may have been seriously underestimated. Previous studies that directly measured the impact of aviation activity on air quality have mostly conducted measurements in close proximity of airports. Few studies have reported significant air quality impacts extending beyond a kilometer. 1-4 Carslaw et al. 20061 analyzed differences in pollutant concentrations by wind speed and direction along with differences in aircraft and ground traffic activity at Heathrow Airport in London. They found airport contributions of up to IS% of total oxides of nitrogen (NOJ at a site LS km downwind of the nearest runway. At Hong Kong International Airport, Yu et al. 20042 used nonparametric regression analysis on pollutant concentrations by wind speed and direction. They calculated that aircraft nearly doubled sulfur dioxide concen- trations 3 km away and also increased concentrations of carbon monoxide and respirable suspended particles under similar wind speeds and directions. Fanning et al. 20073 measured particle numbers concentrations in the 10-100 nm range and found significant increases above background at 1.9, 2.7, and 3.3 km downwind of the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) blast fence. Although measurements were stationary and not concurrent, they also noted that takeoffs produced high concentrations and downwind gradients within 600 m of the blast fence. Dodson et al. 20094 found that aircraft activity at a regional airport in Warwick, RI contributed 24-28% of the total black carbon (BC) measured at five sites 0.16-3.7 km from the airport. Several other airport and aviation emissions studies focused on quantifying the air quality impacts from jet takeoff ss'6 and measured air pollutant concentrations very close to runways. Of particular relevance to this study, Hsu et al. 20137 linked flight activity at LAX with 1 min average PN concentrations. Their models suggested that aircraft produced a median PN concentration of nearly 150 000 particles/cm3 at the end of the departure runway. PN concentrations decreased rapidly with distance to 19 000 particles/cm3 at a location 250 m downwind and to 17 000 particles/cm3 at a location 500 m further downwind. The rapid drop-off in concentration, however, may have reflected an increasing offset from the centerline of impacts with greater downwind measurement distance.

TechnoL 2014, 48, 6628-6635 with departures were reported by Westerdahl et al. 20088 and Zhu et al. 20119 at sites located within 100-200 m of the Hsu et al. 20137 measurements. Our study was motivated by mobile monitoring platform (MMP) based observations of large but gradual increases in PN concentrations as we approached locations under LAX jet landing trajectories on multiple transects up to 10 km downwind of LAX. We hypothesized that emissions from LAX activities were increasing PN concentrations over much larger areas and longer downwind distances than previously observed in studies that focused on near freeway and jet takeoff impacts to air quality. An extensive monitoring campaign confirmed that LAX -related emissions increased PN concen- trations downwind at least 2-fold to 16 km. This large, previously undiscovered spatial extent of the air quality impacts downwind of major airports may mean a significant fraction of urban dwellers living near airports likely receive most of their outdoor PN exposure from airports rather than roadway traffic. IIIIIIIIIIIIIII MA IFIERIA11......S ANDII 11RIHODS Monitoring Area. LAX is the sixth busiest airport in the world and third busiest in the United States. About 9S% of flights take off and land into the prevailing westerly/west- southwesterly (W/WSW) onshore winds 10 (i.e., 263 degrees, the direction of runway alignment2) using two sets of parallel runways separated by about LS km. In the busiest hours, 40- 60 jets per hour arrive during hours 0700-1900 and depart during hours 0800-2100. Reduced activity is typical for the early morning and late evening hours. 20-40 jets per hour arrive during hours 0600 and 1000-0100 and depart during hours 0700 and 2200-2300. During other hours typically fewer than five jets per hour arrive or depart.10 The airport complex is about 4.S km east to west (E-W) and about 2.S km north to south (N—S) and is surrounded by major roadways and freeways, as highlighted in Figure 1 (Figure -118.4 i -118.4--118.85 -118.8-118.28 .� i\ a .tl. i � .i � ,�....r. s v ..�.... r o i,... p � i.... n q...._�.....v o —7 ...,. k...�.�...._..� ....r n r .....r /i , a .0 I r 0 1.5 8 6 9 12 Mlles 2.5 5 10 18 201m 1-110 LO C p r ..

The Federal Aviation Administration noise contours of the modeled annual 6S dB A -weighted equivalent (LAeq) noise threshold are shown" extending eastward along the predominant downwind direction and reflect the jet trajectories used for landing. They also extend west of the airport over the Pacific Ocean (not shown). Mobile Monitoring. Monitoring consisted of transects 4- 16 km in length, nearly perpendicular (i.e., N—S) to the direction of the prevailing winds, at varying downwind distances. Different monitoring routes were required to fully capture the changes in impact locations due to shifts in wind direction. A general downwind direction was chosen based on meteorological predictions but transect lengths and locations were determined during the monitoring run based on observations of the rate of change of PN concentrations. For each transect, monitoring was extended several hundred meters beyond the location where baseline PN concentrations appeared stable. Measurements were conducted over 29 days with the University of Southern California (USC) MMP, a gasoline - powered hybrid vehicle. A second MMP, the University of Washington (UW) MMP, a gasoline -powered minivan, joined the monitoring on 3 days (June 22, 27 and July 1, 2013). Table 1 gives monitoring dates and times. Most measurements were conducted during times of onshore westerly winds, typically strongest during 1100-1600, but we also conducted measurements during early morning and late night hours when air traffic was low and onshore winds were reduced (August 13, 16, 23, 24 and 2S, December 03, 09, 1S and 16, 2013). Monitoring focused on the area east of LAX (i.e., the predominant downwind direction) but included several runs along the boundary of the airport in the upwind direction and south of the airport complex during occasions of northerly winds in winter months. Instrumentation. Concentration measurements included PN, BC, NO, NO2, NO,, and particle surface UV -photo - ionization potential (measured using Ecochem Photoelectric Aerosol Sensor [PAS] that responds to elemental carbon and particle -bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons [PB—PAH] ). Instrument details are provided in SI (Table S.1 and S.2). Instruments were powered by two deep -cycle marine batteries via DC -to -AC inverter. Our power arrangement allowed for S h of run time if all instruments were running. For sampling runs that were anticipated to exceed S h, several instruments were shut down to extend battery life and the Condensation Particle Counter (CPC) was run on the vehicle's 12 V cell phone power outlet. If other instruments were turned on later, the required warm-up time was 2S min. Instrument clock times were regularly synchronized to be within 1 s of the global positioning system device time, which also recorded speed and location. Measurements from instruments with a delayed response time were advanced to match the instantaneous instruments and the GPS time and location recorded at 1 s intervals. For pollutant measurements recorded at 10 s intervals, all locations within the recording interval were assigned the pollutant value reported for that interval. Meteorological Data. Minute and hourly wind speed and wind direction data were obtained from the Automated Surface Observing Systems monitor at LAX airport (latitude 33.943 and longitude—118.407). Due to the 16 km distance between eastern edge of the study area and the meteorological station located at LAX, we could not assume that wind speed and direction were identical to those measured at LAX, but wind direction in this region of Los Angeles tends to be similar over large areas during daytime. 12 The average wind direction at LAX is WSW (2S20) 12 Daytime southwesterly sea breezes typically occur 16 h per day in the summer (0900-0100 for June —August), decreasing to 6 6629 dx.doi.org/10.1021/es5OOl5661 Environ.

Wind roses based on 1 min data are shown in Figure S.2 and S.3 of the SI. Data Processing. MMP measurements included a localized traffic emissions signal representing microscale and middle scale variations (10-100 m and 100-500 m, respectively) and an underlying "baseline" pollutant concentration that varied gradually over the neighborhood scale (S00 m-4 km).13 Watson et al. 199713 derived these categories by considering the spatial scales of impact of various types of air pollution sources. We adopted a smoothing methodology to estimate baseline PN concentrations that excluded the microscale and middle scale impacts due to local sources, usually specific vehicles. Baseline PN concentrations were derived from our mobile measurements by taking a rolling 30-s fifth percentile value of the 1-s concentration time series, and assigning that value to the measured location. This removed the microscale and middle scale impacts from traffic sources such as specific vehicle plumes. Baseline concentrations for a run were relatively spatially uniform outside of the LAX impact areas, with coefficients of variation (CV) of less than S%. In comparison, the raw PN concentrations on roadways outside the LAX impact areas had CVs on the order of 40%. On rare occasions, the MMP was behind a high emitter for longer than 30 s. Such events, only if verifiable by video and field notes, were censored. However, less than O.S% of data were censored in this manner, generated from about a dozen instances of prolonged influence from high emitting vehicles. An illustration of both raw and smoothed concentration time series is presented in the SI (Figures SA-S.7). The figures in this text are based on smoothed data.

PN concentrations were elevated 4-fold or more above nearby unimpacted baseline concentrations up to 10 km in the downwind direction from 6630 dx.doi.org/10.1021/es5OOl5661 Environ. Sci.

Spatial pattern of PN concentration (colored by deciles) for the afternoon and evening hours of August 23, 2013. LAX. Figure 2 shows an example of the spatial pattern of the elevated PN concentrations. The size of the impacted areas with high PN concentration increases was remarkable. At 16 km downwind, a 2-fold increase in PN concentration over baseline concentrations was measured across 6.S km. Assuming a trapezoidal shaped plume with parallel edges of length LS and 6.S km, PN concentrations were at least doubled over an area of 60 km2. Eight km downwind, a S-fold increase in PN concentrations over baseline concentrations extended across 3 km and covered a total area of 24 km2. (Concentrations in this large area exceeded 71 000 particles/cm 3, the average concentration on Los Angeles freeways. 14) Within 3 km of the airport boundary, concen- trations were elevated nearly 10-fold, exceeding 100 000 particles/cm 3, with concentrations of 1S0 000 particles/cm3 occurring over a several km2 area. This pattern of elevated PN concentrations over large areas east of LAX was consistently observed during periods when there were both westerly winds and high air traffic volumes, typically all daylight hours and well into the night.

In directions other than the downwind direction, no large areas of elevated PN concentrations were observed. Figures 3 (c) — (e) include concentrations measured upwind of the LAX boundary (these are indicated by faint yellow lines within the noise contour); the concentrations recorded were typical of the coastal baseline concentrations, less than 10 000 particles per cm (also see Figure S.8 in SI). Of possible other PN sources, a large refinery is located south of the airport but we did not observe elevated PN or other pollutant concentrations directly downwind of this source. In general, industrial point sources of pollution in the Los Angeles Air Basin are very tightly regulated by the South Coast Air Quality Management District. We did not observe distinct day versus night differences, as might be expected based on the large change in meteorolog- ically driven dilution between day and night for ground level sources. It appeared that the distant impacts we observed downwind of LAX required sufficient wind speeds for the jet climbing and landing emissions to reach the ground, as observed in Yu et al., 20042 at LAX and Hong Kong International Airports and Carslaw et al. 20061 at Heathrow Airport. At LAX, this probably corresponded to the develop- ment of the on -shore sea breezes that typically started 4-6 h after sunrise and lasted until 3-6 h after sunset.12 We also did not see the impacts of individual jets at the distances monitored, but the merging of individual jet impacts is not unexpected at distances of multiple km. Considering the frequency of landings and takeoffs (>90 per hour from 0900- 210010), at an average wind speed of 4 m/s, for example, an incoming parcel of air will travel only about 160 m before another jet landing or takeoff occurs. Under normal daytime air turbulence and the enhanced turbulence produced by jets,15,16 significant mixing is expected over a 5-10 km distance (20-40 min). The generally smooth increases and decreases observed across the length of transects at such distances are additional evidence that mixing of plumes occurs. Examples of these smooth concentration increases for individual transects are shown in Figures S.6 and S.7 in the SI. The consistent and distinctive spatial pattern of elevated concentrations was aligned to prevailing westerly winds and landing jet trajectories, and roughly followed the shape of the contours of noise from landing jets, indicating that landing jets probably are an important contributor to the large downwind spatial extent of elevated PN concentrations. As defined by the International Civil Aviation Organization, typical engine thrust during landing is 30%, as compared to 100% for takeoff and 8S% for the climbing phase.6 Stettler et al. 20116 calculated 18% of total NOx emissions from landings, with 12% from taxiing and holding, 18% from takeoff, and S2% from the climb and climb out phases, respectively. When the extra upwind distance of the climb and climb out phases are taken into account, the landing approach emissions likely produce a significant fraction of the increased PN concentrations observed downwind. Influence of Wind Direction on Location of Impact. The downwind location of the impact changed with shifts in the prevailing wind direction, although significant shifts in wind direction during the daytime are not typical of this area of Los Angeles.12 Figure 4(a) and (b) illustrate one such change in impacted locations due to a shift in wind direction on a gusty day with frontal weather that also resulted in cleaner upwind baseline PN concentrations of less than 5000 particles/cm3. The impacted locations were aligned along the NE direction during 2000-2220 h when winds were from W to WSW (250- 2800). The impact then moved southwards between 2220- 0000 h as winds turned more W to WNW (280-330°). During this shift, the impact centerline moved by S.S km on transects 8-10 km east of LAX. Monitoring was also conducted during N to NE prevailing winds that tend to occur late at night in November and December (2100-2300).12 This N to NE wind direction resulted in impacts that were centered south of the airport (Figure 4(c)). The PN concentrations in this southerly impact were roughly twice as high as on other days, in part because the baseline PN concentrations reflected urban air from northerly winds instead of marine air from westerly winds. Diurnal wind patterns change little by season in Los Angeles basin.12 Onshore westerly winds are common during midday hours, even in winter. As a result, areas of elevated PN 6632 dx.doi.org/10.1021/es5OOl5661 Environ. Sci.

Monitoring in different seasons demonstrated the consistent year round presence of this impact. Examples of similarly extensive impacts in non -summer months are shown in the SI (Figures S.8 and S.9). Other Pollutants. Over large areas downwind of LAX, concentrations of pollutants other than PN were also elevated. Figure 5(a)—(c) show nearly indistinguishable spatial patterns for PN, BC, and NO2 concentration measured simultaneously at distances of 9.5-12 km from LAX. This suggests a common source for these pollutants, although the BC concentration increases were not large when compared to PN and NO, about 0.5-1 yg/m3 at 8-10 km downwind. While jet aircraft are not known to produce large amounts of BC, two studies found elevated BC from plane takeoffs at LAX. Zhu et al. 20119 measured an increase of about 1 yg/m3 of BC due to plane activity 140 m downwind of the runway. Westerdahl et al. 20088 measured increases in BC concentration of several yg/ m3 during takeoff events near the eastern LAX boundary, but also observed elevated BC concentrations at all times. At a smaller airport, Dodson et al. 20094 found median contribu- tions of about 0.1 yg/m3, about one -quarter of total BC measured at five sites ranging in downwind distance from 0.3-3.7 km, and also observed departures producing about twice the impact as arrivals. Therefore, it appears some jets at LAX are capable of producing measurable increases in BC, particularly at takeoffs. Spatial patterns of simultaneously measured PN and PAS response (PB—PAH and EC) were also similar on transects 4.5-7.5 km from LAX (Figure 5(d)—(e)). The NOx elevation pattern was less regular (Figure 5 (f) ). This was likely due to smaller LAX related contributions compared to baseline concentrations, thus reducing the signal-to-noise ratio. 6633 dx.doi.org/10.1021/es5OOl5661 Environ. Sci. TechnoL 2014, 48, 6628-6635 Overall, the top quartile concentrations (highly impacted) of all pollutants were about three times higher than the lowest quartile within 7.5 km from LAX and two times higher at 12 km distance. In addition, concurrent sampling with the two mobile platforms demonstrated high temporal (SI Figure S.10) and spatial consistency (SI Figure S.11) for PN measurements. Comparison of LAX and Freeway PN Impacts. PN concentration increases from ground level line sources such as freeways, under conditions of daytime crosswind dilution, decrease exponentially with increasing downwind distance and return to baseline concentrations within 200-300 m.17 The two N—S freeways (I-405 and I-110 that run perpendicular to the prevailing winds) did not contribute appreciably to elevated PN concentrations in areas where we observed large impacts from LAX on PN concentrations. This is illustrated in Figure 6, which contains two enlargements to show the increase in PN number concentrations over approximately 250 in distance downwind of I-405, a distance and an increase in PN concentration that is not discernible at the scale of Figures 2 and 3. The panel in Figure 6(c) at 1:10 000 scale shows the PN concentration increase of about 24 000/cm3. The maximum PN concentration was not immediately downwind of the freeway because at this location there is an elevated overpass and some distance is needed for emissions to reach the ground. To put into further perspective the extent of the elevated PN concentrations observed downwind of LAX, we estimated the freeway length necessary to produce an equivalent impact in terms of PN concentration -weighted area of impact assuming typical daytime dilution conditions for freeways. For the days we captured the fullest downwind extent of the impact under typical daytime wind conditions (August IS, 23, and 24), we calculated an integrated PN impact above baseline PN concentrations of 2.3, 1.6, and 1.1 X 106 (particles/cm3) X km2, respectively. See Table S.3 (a) — (c) of SI for calculations. Impacted areas were calculated using ArcGIS spatial analysis tools and were conservatively defined as areas where increased PN concentration were at least double the baseline concentrations measured north and south of the impact zone. The resulting impact areas were 30-65 km2. For comparison, a less conservative criterion for defining the impact area such as a 50% or 33% increase over baseline PN concentrations increased the impacted area by 40% and 80%, respectively. To calculate PN impacts downwind of freeways, we combined the exponential regression fit of near -freeway measurements made downwind of I-405 by Zhu et al. 2002a18 with updated average daytime on -freeway PN concentrations taken from Li et al. 201314 (71 000 particles/ cm3). PN concentrations were at least double the baseline PN concentrations of 15 000-20 000 particles/cm3 for 90-130 m downwind.3 This resulted in a concentration -weighted impact area of 2930-3930 (particles/cm3) X km2 per km of freeway length. Based on these concentration -weighted impact areas, 280- 790 km of freeway are needed to produce the equivalent PN- concentration-weighted impact area of LAX. (The less conservative criteria resulted in ranges of freeway length of 340-1000 km and 430-1100 km for thresholds of 50% and 33%, respectively.) There are only about 1500 km of freeways and highways in Los Angeles County.19 Therefore, LAX should be considered one of the most important sources of PN in Los Angeles. For comparison, within the 60 km2 area of elevated PN concentrations downwind and east of LAX, the 15-25 km of freeways contributed less than 5% of the PN concentration increase. Recommendations for Other Studies. LAX is in a region of Los Angeles with highly consistent wind direction. This provided the several hours necessary for a single mobile platform to monitor a sufficient number of transects to cover the large area impacted by LAX emissions. At airport locations where the prevailing wind direction frequently shifts during the day, multiple platforms would be necessary to quickly capture the full spatial extent of emissions impacts to surrounding air quality. The emissions from LAX are likely not unique on a per - activity basis. The large area of impact from LAX suggests that air pollution studies involving PN, localized roadway impacts, or other sources whose impacts are in the influence zone of a large airport should carefully consider wind conditions and whether measurements are influenced by airport emissions. Source apportionment of specific airport sources or activities was beyond the scope of our study but would be necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of possible mitigation options. Differing NO2 to NO., ratios at different levels of engine thrust20 might be used to distinguish the contributions of jet landing, idling or takeoff activities. Takeoff and idling emission also differ in surface properties (i.e., the ratio of active surface area to surface bound photoionizable species)21 and particle size distributions differ between aircraft and ground support equipment emissions.21 IIIIIIIIIIIIIII ASSOCIIA rIED C01INII""IliIEi ""r © Supporting Information Map of monitoring area (Figure S.1), the instruments used (Tables S.1—S.2), wind roses (Figures S.2 and S.3), illustration of data processing (Figures S.4—S.7), additional maps illustrating the spatial pattern (Figures S.8 and S.9), concurrent sampling with two mobile measurement platforms (Figures S.10 and S.10 and calculations for comparing freeway impact (Table S.3 (a) — (c)) are presented in the Supporting Information.

The models use historical operations data and standard emissions models for aircraft types to predict the concentrations produced by aviation operations. The models may be good but do not account for local terrain, weather or other factors so it is important to obtain real measured data, Figure 1. This is especially true as the types of operations out of Hanscom Field have been changing with fewer piston operations and significantly increased jet operations. The proposed North Airfield hangar project could dramatically increase the jet operations in the next few years so it is vital to obtain good baseline data for comparison. Figure 1.

The document allows the Select Board (Board) to assess the Town Manager's performance in key competency areas and in the accomplishment of goals. Through the evaluation procedure, Board members will recognize strengths, offer positive feedback, and suggest any areas that require corrective action. Individual performance evaluation forms prepared by members of the Board are considered work product/personal documents, and shall not be publicly released. The only document to be released will be an overview document, compiling the scores and comments, prepared by the Executive Clerk to the Board. 2022 REVIEW PROCEDURE: 1. The period of evaluation is October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023. 2. The Town Manager will submit a narrative self -evaluation including a report on goal achievement. A copy of that self-evaluation/goal achievement and a blank evaluation form will be distributed to each Board member. 3. Board members will individually complete their evaluation forms and provide them to the Executive Clerk. 4. The Executive Clerk will compile the ratings from individual evaluation forms and develop a document inclusive of all Board members comments (the "consolidated review"). In each of the competency areas, the Executive Clerk will provide the total number of ratings in each category (E, M, M/I, I & N/A). 5.

The Consolidated Review will be released for discussion on a public agenda 8. In that public meeting, the Board will discuss the consolidated review and identify areas where there were conflicting or ambiguous comments, including those of less than a majority of members. The Board will discuss if these comments are reflective of the Board as a whole. Comments which request a change in behavior or set a specific expectation will be discussed for consensus. The Board will also discuss the 360 Report. Any member of the Board may request adjustments or additions to the review based on the discussion and the documents presented. 9. Following the public discussion, the Chair will edit the Consolidated Review to reflect the Board consensus and discussion regarding the 360 Report and generate the Final Review to be voted by the Board at a December meeting. 10.

What would you identify as the manager's strength(s), expressed in terms of the principal results achieved during the rating period? SB member 1 While the budget was more of a roller coaster than it needed to be with questions still coming at Town Meeting, we still got it done. SB member 2 The Town Manager, alongside the senior management team, has spearheaded several pivotal initiatives. He has adeptly concluded numerous labor contracts and advanced infrastructural projects like the Battle Green Streetscape Project and the new Police Station project. Fiscally, under his leadership and with the collaboration of the Senior Management Team, balanced budgets have been formulated, ensuring judicious use of our Town's resources. He remains dedicated to keeping updated with the latest in local government management and has notably increased his engagement with community members during this review period. SB Member 3 Fiscal management and acumen remain at a high level and are evidenced by another year of balanced budgets without operating overrides. Mr. Malloy's facility with technical elements of municipal law is impressive and helpful, both in planning and in action, often during meetings. Many significant projects have progressed or completed during this year, the ma j ority without disruption. Keeping a wide array of projects on track is a commendable accomplishment. SB Member 4 The Town Manager has implemented a fiscal policy that allocates new commercial property tax revenue from PSDUP projects and new development in the Hartwell Avenue commercial zone to the Capital Stabilization Fund with the goal of mitigating taxpayer impact due to increased capital requirements of the new Police Station and High School projects. This policy is working well and is on track to achieving its obj ective. The Town Manager and Town staff have done an excellent job managing the Town's finances. SB Member 5 Fiscal planning remains the Town Manager's strongest achievement. We remain on track to set aside substantial funding in the Capital Stabilization Fund for the upcoming high school project as well as keeping a stream of revenue set aside to reduce the magnitude of debt -exclusion burden on property taxes. The Manager has proactively established regular reporting on debt -service planning for the high school project to town meeting so that fiscal impact surprises will be minimized. The Board identified public engagement as a growth area last year and the Town Manager has actively pursued increasing interaction with the public instituting quarterly Town Manager Name: James Malloy Review Period 10/1/22 — 9/30/23 Working Draft as of November 19, 2023 Working Draft - Town Manager Performance Evaluation Narrative Section Notes for discussion at November 27, 2023 Meeting "Java with Jim" sessions that have been well received. The Manager also has a genuine interest in municipal governance — he keeps abreast of regional and national trends and seeks to innovate in Lexington. I commend Mr. Malloy on the achievements enumerated in his self -evaluation and on his recognition of the collaborative staff effort needed to accomplish these goals. 2. What performance area(s) would you identify as most critical for improvement? SB member 1 There are still concerns surrounding composure, attention to detail and timely follow through. Actively valuing all of the staff and the volunteers in the community. Would like to see greater involvement in/at Community events, it was there when first came but has dropped off. At times has difficulty hearing questions or feedback on an item has been working on so feels like we have to approve it without including feedback from the Board or the Community SB member 2 The Town Manager has made notable progress in enhancing collaboration and communication. However, there's an opportunity for him to engage more consistently with issues that resonate with our residents. It's essential for the Town Manager to continue fostering a culture of teamwork and clear communication within the town staff. By proactively identifying and addressing areas for improvement, he can further align his leadership with Lexington's core values and the community's expectations. SB Member 3 - Continuing emphasis on and improvement in communication - to the public, with the board and between the staff and board. - Ensuring thorough and careful preparation of staff and materials SB Member 4 Residents consistently remark on their desire for online delivery of services and enhanced two-way communication between residents and the Town staff. There has been little progress in implementing online, two-way communication systems that would enhance delivery of services. The Town Manager should implement this long standing Select Board priority goal. Residents and committee members routinely express frustration about the difficulty of finding and accessing important information about the Town's performance on delivering services and progress on strategic initiatives. While there have been some minor improvements in the new town website, it is still difficult to search and often does not contain the information requested. Town staff have mentioned that they have been Town Manager Name: James Malloy Review Period 10/1/22 — 9/30/23 Working Draft as of November 19, 2023 Working Draft - Town Manager Performance Evaluation Narrative Section Notes for discussion at November 27, 2023 Meeting sub. ect to numerous freedom of information requests that have consumed significant amounts of staff time, from residents who are frustrated that they cannot find the information they are looking for on the town website. There is more improvement needed in this area. The Town Manager continues to propose controversial initiatives before the promised public process has been completed or before developing a consensus among the stakeholders on the best path forward. At times the Board and staff have been surprised by these proposals. In the past year, the Select Board has received numerous comments from residents concerned about the Town's enforcement of Town bylaws regarding noise, trees, and gas -powered leaf blowers. Residents have commented that this perceived lack of enforcement of Town bylaws has eroded their trust and confidence in their local government. In the past year, the Select Board received numerous comments from residents concerned about the lack of notice they had received regarding critical decisions regarding the Police Station solar project. The Select Board restarted the design review process after sufficient notice had been provided to appropriate community members to address those concerns. This resulted in significant extra effort for Town staff, the design team, the Historic District Commission and other important stakeholders SB Member 5 The performance areas identified by the Board in the Town Manager's previous review remain issues — but there appear to be improvements in many of the areas identified. Examples of areas where visible improvements are appreciated include: • ARPA funding process — a source of frustration during the past year this process has become more predictable and organized with Board concerns identified for staff who prepare proposals. • Improved communication with the Board and decreased unnecessary conflict. • More direct interaction with the public and with departmental staff. Continued and deeper attention to the items noted last year will contribute to improving general performance and employee satisfaction. 3. What constructive suggestions or assistance can you offer the manager to enhance performance? SB member 1 Still needs attention to body language when situations get difficult. These are not winner takes all situations. Need to be able to work towards collaboration at all times and remember we are working towards what is best for the entire community not any individual or group. Need to balance all things, all the time. SB member 2 For the Town Manager to further enhance his performance, it's recommended that he maintains regular feedback sessions with the Select Board members and department heads. These interactions have historically offered valuable insights and promoted a collaborative approach to decision -making.

Moreover, consistently dedicating time for open forums with residents will ensure that their concerns are deeply understood, guiding decisions more aligned with community needs. SB Member 3 Continuing to find ways to help staff feel and be prepared for public presentations or board deliberations. With five years' experience, the likely areas of inquiry from the board on presentations are predictable and staff should have been prepared for those. There has been a noticeable increase in the effort to communicate issues to the board and that is greatly appreciated. Continuing or enhancing this practice will be useful. As was noted in the last review, continue to work to ensure appropriate community notice or engagement is followed on projects. SB Member 4 The Town Manager would benefit from developing a more collaborative and consultative relationship with the Board. This should include proactively reaching out to Select Board members to discuss strategic initiatives. The Town Manager only occasionally allows Town staff to interact with Select Board members to discuss strategic initiatives. When allowed, these discussions have been quite helpful. Allowing more staff / Board discussions should be encouraged. The Town Manager would benefit by establishing a similarly consultative and collaborative working relationship between staff and other Town boards and committees, with the goal of maintaining strong professional relationships while reaching consensus and alignment on strategic initiatives. When facing complex financial decisions, the Select Board would benefit from a high- level summary of the material positives and negatives of each option with a clear summary of the recommended option from the Town Manager. The new Lexington High School will likely be the largest capital investment the Town has undertaken in over 60 years. The planning for the new high school must involve all stakeholders in a highly transparent process, incorporating the Town's values of fiscal responsibility, sustainability, diversity, equity, and inclusion to ensure maximum credibility and trust in the Town's leadership. The high school project will have a dramatic impact on almost every department. Each department's plans and goals should reflect that level of importance. The Town Manager should develop a consistent evaluation process across all departments that considers total life cycle cost and benefits of each option after considering how they impact the Town's goals including diversity, equity, health, sustainability and resilience. This is especially critical in light of the impact of the decisions regarding the new High School project will have on the Town's finances for the next 30 years. SB Member 5 The manager should continue and expand the use of the Board — as individuals and as a Town Manager Name: James Malloy Review Period 10/1/22 — 9/30/23 Working Draft as of November 19, 2023 Working Draft - Town Manager Performance Evaluation Narrative Section Notes for discussion at November 27, 2023 Meeting group — as a sounding board for issues as they arise. The manager appropriately acts on the will of the Board as expressed in open meetings and does not act on the whims of individual members. He should, however, feel free to also tap into the local community knowledge and insight of individual members. 4. What other comments do you have for the manager; e.g., priorities, expectations, goals or objectives for the new rating period? SB member 1 Need focus on 250th planning and LHS Project as well as all the regular day to day items. Can you delegate more to others and not always to the same person? SB member 2 Community Engagement: The Town Manager should consistently foster transparent dialogue with Lexington residents, ensuring their involvement in town governance and key decision -making processes. Infrastructure Development: It remains imperative for the Town Manager to prioritize the enhancement and maintenance of essential town infrastructure, most notably the High School Project. Economic Development: Under the Town Manager's direction, we should continue to attract new businesses, and attract projects that stimulate the local economy, and tourism all the while maintaining Lexington's historical and cultural integrity. Fiscal Oversight: Continued fiscal management, including the creation of balanced budgets, avoiding operating overrides, exploration of grant opportunities, and prudent resource allocation, will be essential. Staff Development: The Town Manager should facilitate continuous professional development for town employees, ensuring a harmonious working environment. An emphasis on staff succession planning is important. Technological Advancement: The Town Manager should actively pursue technological integrations to modernize town operations and enhance service delivery to residents. Inter -Town Collaboration: Town Manager should foster collaborations with neighboring municipalities, especially in the context of shared initiatives such as the 250th celebration. SB Member 3 to be discussed by the board SB Member 4 The Select Board, Town Meeting, and residents have made it clear that they have high expectations that the Town of Lexington will actively and rapidly move forward with diversity, equity, inclusion, systemic racism, sustainability and resilience initiatives and that these issues will be consistently considered at the senior management level. The Town Manager should establish a culture that institutionalizes the consideration of diversity, equity, inclusion, disabilities, health, systemic racism, sustainability and resilience in all decisions and planning processes, making this a high priority for the senior management team. All Town departments should regularly report to the Select Board on their progress towards achieving the Town's diversity, equity, inclusion, systemic racism, disability, sustainability and resilience goals for the broader town wide community.

It will be important for the Town Manager to prioritize the implementation of this long -desired process. The Town Manager created a Chief Equity Officer position at the Board's request. The Select Board has requested that the goals and objectives for the Chief Equity Officer be broadened beyond internal staffing goals, to focus more on town wide initiatives for achieving the community's goals for diversity, equity and inclusion.
