LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Environmental Quality and Public Works Committee is scheduled to consider several key infrastructure and sustainability initiatives at its meeting on June 16, according to the committee agenda.
The committee’s main focus will be a presentation on the Complete Streets Design Manual, which would establish standards for how Lexington and developers design streets to accommodate pedestrians, cyclists, transit users and drivers. The manual represents the latest step in a years-long effort to reimagine Lexington’s streets for multiple modes of transportation beyond automobiles. The design standards would be applied to new streets built by developers and to roadway improvement projects undertaken by the city.
The Complete Streets initiative is Lexington’s commitment to creating safer, more welcoming streets for everyone, whether walking, biking, rolling, taking the bus or driving. The manual consolidates and updates guidance from multiple existing regulatory documents, including subdivision regulations and traffic management guidance, to align with the city’s Complete Streets policy adopted in 2022 and Vision Zero goal to eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries by 2050.
The committee is also scheduled to receive updates on stormwater projects, the Consent Decree and Remedial Measures Plan for sanitary sewer compliance, and sustainability initiatives including the Empower Lexington Plan and Solarize Lexington, a program that helps homeowners lower energy costs and reduce their dependence on the electric grid. The Solarize Lexington program is relaunching in spring 2026 as an expanded regional effort.
The committee meeting begins at 1 p.m. at the LFUCG Government Center downtown. The Complete Streets Design Manual is expected to move forward to the full Urban County Council for a vote later in the summer, with the Planning Commission reviewing corresponding zoning changes in the fall.
