Answers from Candidates are in the February Newsletter.
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has adopted a goal of tripling the share of travel by bicycling, walking and transit by 2030. Thanks to collaborations between key Town staff, Town committees and volunteer groups, Lexington has supported this goal with a number of initiatives improving conditions for walking and bicycling in our community.
The question that CLC is posing to this year’s candidates is as follows:
How would you use your role in town government to continue efforts to
make Lexington a more walking and bike-friendly community?
Listed below are some examples of recent pedestrian/bicycle initiatives undertaken in the Lexington community as well as some examples of possible future actions that would further the development of additional pedestrian/bicycle routes in our community.
