LEXINGTON, Ky. — Lexington is preparing to present a sweeping overhaul of its winter weather response, the largest change to the city’s approach in 30 years, according to a Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government news release. The new plan will be presented to the public and to members of an Urban County Council committee.
Charles Martin, interim commissioner of Environmental Quality and Public Works, said the city has spent about seven months on the plan at Mayor Linda Gorton’s direction. He said the work involved questioning every part of the existing snow plan and gathering input from people who play a role in winter weather response, including salt truck drivers, first responders, schools, residents, council members and the city’s communications team.
“Now, we are ready to test this plan and to look for ways we can continue to improve it,” Martin said.
The 44-page document covers the city’s full winter weather response. According to the release, it addresses treatment options, communications, equipment, supplies, partners outside government and street rankings. Depending on storm severity, the plan calls for hundreds of city employees to take part, and it outlines the duties assigned to them.
The release describes several major changes. The full list was not included in the material reviewed for this story, so residents seeking specifics should consult the city’s announcement directly.
Martin described the plan as a living document that is expected to change as it is tested and as weather patterns evolve. “It’s important to expect the unexpected where future weather events are concerned,” he said. “The last two years have been well outside historical norms. This plan must account for the need to adapt.”
The city has not yet announced a specific date for the presentation in the release, and details of how the revised plan will be applied during the next winter storm remain to be seen as the city begins testing it.
