If Americans truly prefer car-dependent suburbia above all other ways of living, why is it illegal to build almost anything else? And yet, the neighborhoods that most Americans say they love when they visit Paris, or Charleston, or Greenwich Village are functionally illegal to build.

18 percent of US adults express a strong interest in living without a car, and 60 percent express some interest. The youth response may be even higher.

Lexington is working to update the way streets are designed and built, and the Council wants your input!

LFUCG’s draft Complete Streets Design Manual is now available for public review. This draft manual would shape how streets are designed in Fayette County, with a focus on safety, accessibility, sustainability, and connectivity for all users.

Residents are invited to:

• Review the draft manual and/or a brief one-page summary that highlights some of the proposed changes.
• Leave comments on the draft manual for staff to review.
• Email your feedback to Council and/or to Planning.
• Share your ideas for what complete streets could look like in Lexington.
