Subject: Weekly Update
POLICE:
Over the past weekend, the Police Department, in collaboration with the Lexington Youth Commission,
held our annual Fill the Cruiser event to help support Toys For Tots in the center. With the help of
some nice weather, the day was an overwhelming success. During the course of the day, fifty eight
(58), forty two (42) gallon trash bags were donated and collected by Toys for Tots. This was by far the
most successful day we have had. We want to thank the community for their generosity and support
for this worthwhile charity. I would also like to thank Detectives Mike Sowle and Kristina Hankins as
well as the LYC volunteers for all of their work on the program.

LAND USE HOUSING & DEVELOPMENT:
Planning:
On Tuesday, December 10, staff and VHB held a virtual forum for residents of the Wood Street
neighborhood, including employees of MIT Lincoln Labs, Hanscom Air Force Base and other area
businesses, to gather input and feedback on proposed complete street concepts. A mailing was sent to
200+ residents, notification sent through constant contact, and advertisement on the town website.
The purpose of this meeting was to facilitate feedback from the community on current roadway
concerns and ways to improve Wood Street to be safe and accessible for all roadway users. There was
great attendance and helpful conversations. A summary of feedback and recording of the meeting will
be posted on the website when available www.lexingtonma.gov/woodstreet.
On December 11, the Planning Board approved the proposal from Boston Properties for 312 rental
dwelling units and a commercial component at 17 Hartwell Avenue. The proposal includes 47
Inclusionary Dwelling Units limited to households earning 80% of the Area Median Income.
On December 11, the Planning Board opened the public hearing on the 25 rental dwelling unit
proposal from 185 Bedford Street LLC. The hearing was continued to the Planning Boards meeting on
Thursday, January 30, 2025.

Memorandum
To: The Lexington Select Board
From: Economic Development Advisory Committee & Lexington Center Committee
Date: July 22, 2024
Re: Recommendations following the review of Lexington Center: The Journey Forward
____________________________________________________________________________
The Economic Development Advisory and Lexington Center Committees, separately and jointly,
reviewed and discussed the recommendations included in the Lexington Center: The Journey
Forward report prepared by Mullin Associates Inc. and Fuss & O'Neil at several meetings. As a
reminder, membership in our committees are composed of Lexington residents with a wide
array of backgrounds and expertise, including Lexington Center retailers, landlords, property
managers, architects, and project managers and, therefore, our discussions were robust and
incorporated perspectives from multiple stakeholders.
Based on our discussions, we offer the following four recommendations to the Select Board:
1) Prioritize decision(s) regarding use of town-owned land in Lexington Center.
2) Focus on ways to create more welcoming and inviting entryways from key access points
(the parking lots, bike path, Visitor Center, etc).
3) Convene a forum of relevant municipal bodies and committees to ensure alignment
around application of new bylaws (signage, MBTA zoning, etc).
4) Evaluate options for supporting Lexington Center programming.
Recommendation #1: Prioritize decision(s) regarding use of town-owned land in
Lexington Center
The Depot Lot and the Edison Way lot have been identified by the Select Board as potential
sites for future housing/mixed use development. Meanwhile, the Town’s Engineering
Department has identified these lots as “failing” condition and both are in queue for
reconstruction. Both lots serve as a major entry point to Lexington Center for residents and
visitors who park there and patronize our businesses or visit our historic sites. Additionally, our
extremely active bikeway bisects these two properties and its users traverse the Edison Way lot
to access our businesses.
A redesign of these lots has the potential to unlock much more than improved parking; for
example, a redesign could modify traffic flow allowing for improved access into Emery Park
which the Mullen & Association Report envisions as the hub of a future Lexington Center. In
addition, a redesign could allow Center businesses to improve rear access, helping them in
attracting customers from to their rear– as well as front– doors. A redesign could also promote
better access from the bike path to Lexington Center, which is a priority identified in past
consultant reports.
However, redesign cannot begin to move forward until the Select Board decides if the lots will
remain parking only or a combination of housing/mixed use and parking should be pursued. Any
redesign, regardless of if housing is included, will take considerable time to incorporate the
valuable perspectives from the multiple stakeholders impacted by a redesign (landlords,
business owners, residents, visitors, town staff). Therefore, our committees believe that time is
of the essence for the Select Board to make a decision on the use of these parcels. Please
note, that decisions regarding the Depot lot and the Edison Way lot could be broken out
separately if needed.
Recommendation #2: Focus on ways to create more welcoming and inviting entryways
from key access points (the parking lots, bike path, Visitor Center, etc).
We appreciate the recent steps taken by DPW to install the new Parklett outside of Avenue Deli
and the flower boxes at Grain Mill Alley. We look forward to continuing to work collaboratively
with DPW to make modifications in the short term that make entry to, and use of, Lexington
Center more welcoming and inviting.
As Town Engineering moves forwards with plans for redesigning the Waltham St/ Muzzey St
parking lot and the Library, we likewise look forward to collaborating with Town staff to ensure
that connection points to these lots get their proper attention to be more welcoming and inviting.
While we recognize that many of the alleyways on this side of town are privately owned, we
hope that by bringing the property owners together in the redesign conversation they might see
the benefits of adding lighting, planters, signage, murals, etc. in their public ways.
We also recommend that the Select Board encourages DPW to work with us to identify other
modifications to existing Lexington Center entry points to make them more inviting and
welcoming with existing budget dollars following the example of the addition of flower boxes at
Grain Mill Alley.
Recommendation #3: Convene a forum of relevant municipal bodies and committees to
ensure alignment around application of new bylaws (signage, MBTA zoning, etc).
Given the recent signage and zoning bylaws changes, we recommend that the Select Board
convene a forum comprised of representatives from the Historic District Committee (HDC),
Planning Board, Economic Development Advisory Committee, Lexington Center Committee,
Town staff, and any other relevant town government bodies.
The purpose of this forum would be to discuss how these groups view the application of new
proposals under these bylaws, with the goal to develop a clear, unified and streamlined set of
guidelines and approvals that are efficient, effective, and transparent for Town staff/committees
and applicants. We also recommend that any guidelines not only consider new projects, but
also focus on upkeep and maintenance of existing property to ensure buildings do not fall into
disrepair and become unsightly.
While such guidelines are being developed, we also recommend that the Select Board review
and identify if there are properties in Lexington Center that in a poor condition and warrant
outreach to the property owner highlighting ways in which the owner could invest in improving
their property
Recommendation #4: Evaluate options for supporting Lexington Center programming.
The Mullen Report, along with past consultant reports, have highlighted the important role that
programming and events play in increasing vitality in town centers. Over the past few years, the
Economic Development Office has been able to host events in Lexington Center funded by
pandemic-era related grant programs which are no longer available. These events have drawn
foot traffic to town which Lexington Center businesses have benefited from. While the 250th
Commission has plans and funding for many activities over the next year, we recommend that
the Select Board consider how programming can continue to take place in the Center after the
250th anniversary passes.
Support for continued programming could involve allocating funding for Economic Development
to host events beyond the 250th anniversary and/or supporting the various community groups
that already host events in the center by offering shared resources for event planning and
promotion.
In addition to focusing on programming in Emery Park, the Town should include Fletcher Park
and the community room in the Police Station for programming to take advantage of Town’s
investment in these spaces.
