Selectmen Appoint 9-Member Pedestrian Infrastructure Panel
|
The Board of Selectmen on Monday appointed nine members to the new Pedestrian Infrastructure Advisory Committee, a new body created to pay more attention to sidewalks and other infrastructure for pedestrians. The board had asked the Representative Town Meeting’s Pedestrian Infrastructure Subcommittee to find seven candidates (most of them RTM members) to form the advisory committee (which will hold its first meeting Tuesday night in Town Hall). Frank Adelman, chairman of the subcommittee, delivered a report (full text below) explaining how the members were selected. His report also suggested that the committee be expanded to nine members — largely because the new committee could use plenty of help with the job of examining pedestrian infrastructure and suggesting maintenance and improvement projects in upcoming months. Selectmen unanimously agreed to expand the committee and appointed all nine of the recommended candidates to it (list below).
