Versailles Rd Streetscape

The Weisenfluhs and the Bozarths attended the open house of the Versailles Road Streetscape Meeting, held October 9. at the Lexington Public Library, Village Branch, 2185 Versailles Road. 

Completed in 2015, the Versailles Road Corridor Study presented an overall streetscape concept from Parkers Mill Road to Oliver Lewis Way.  The first two phases of the project are funded. The first phase begins at Parkers Mill and extends to Mason Headley. Construction is projected to begin in March 2018 and take 2-3 months. Construction will include the closing of one lane of traffic with three lanes remaining open. Design plans were presented at the open house and participants were able to view the street scape and ask questions of the city representatives, and Palmer Engineers. Council Member Peggy Henson also attended to answer questions.  

The overall goal of the project is to increase pedestrian safety by encouraging pedestrians to cross Versailles Road only at the cross walks. The plan calls for improved sidewalks, better crosswalks with ADA improvements and the use of green space on both sides of the sidewalk. Pavers, possibly painted will be added at each crosswalk. 

The Urban County Council has provided the funding for this initial phase, a contractor has yet to be selected.
