Re: [LincolnTalk] To the cyclist who was almost hit on Lincoln Road by a School Van

HATS has been pretty dormant, but the Hanscom issue has revitalized it. Back in the dinosaur days, when I was a Select, we worked on a lot of traffic issues that went beyond HATS region and to the larger region of MAGIC. The Crosby’s Corner project was an outgrowth of first HATS and then the Rt.2

Regional collaboration-HATS- was formed, initially, to address safety and traffic issues in the towns of Bedford, Lexington, Lincoln and Concord. In the past, it was effective forum for sharing ideas and concerns and collaborating on possible solutions. We are not an island. As for Wayland, I re

We also have the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee. BPAC is tasked with making recommendations about roadway safety for cyclists and pedestrians. It is a parallel committee to the RTC with whom we collaborate and, to date, have not disagreed on any recommendations to the Select Board

Kathy, thanks for your attempt to drive safely in the presence of bikes and pedestrians. It may be useful in the midst of this discussion to state what the rules of the road are in this situation. The detail is laid out in MA law, specifically the Acts of 2022, Chapter 358, An Act to Reduce

Re: [LincolnTalk] To the cyclist who was almost hit on Lincoln Road by a School Van

Speed bumps must meet certain criteria listed in the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices, a publication of federal standards. But it’s not that complicated. Lots of towns in our region have installed them effectively. For example, Wayland has installed a series of them that calm traffic

Re: [LincolnTalk] Bike lanes

We have the RTC, who advises the Selects, on this. We can ask them. Also, we would need to see the long range Capital Plan to understand when this could be done. Wholesale repaving and/or reconstructing does not come cheap and will, most likely, require a new bond/tax. -- Sara Mattes >

I think Bob Mason has an excellent idea. And I would never pass a bike with only 4" clearance. I have seen a cyclist who couldn't unclip her left foot fall right into the street. Luckily no cars.

Re: [LincolnTalk] To the cyclist who was almost hit on Lincoln Road by a School Van

The bike rider / car driver quandry is just that. I recall a town in Italy - Ferrara - where all townsfolk seem to be bicyclists. Also Amsterdam. I think about those places when I’m driving patiently at 10 mph behind a biker on Baker Bridge Road which is treacherous for bicyclists. Yes, I do go
