Crosswalk study suggests ways to improve pedestrian safety at Lexington intersections
Lexington hired outside researchers to assess crosswalks and provide recommendations for improvements to priority intersections.
The community-centered initiative will make the case to Council that it is reducing gun violence among youth and young adults ages 10-29.
Councilmembers heard about a proposed development liaison position. Peer cities have tried something similar.
After a lengthy discussion, committee members voted 6-4 to move the proposed changes forward for more review and feedback.
A new city position could help streamline Lexington's development and permitting process – but it will need funding in a tight budget year.
