Big changes are coming to a short stretch of East High Street between Woodland Avenue and Rose Street. Between Monday, June 2 and Friday, June 6, construction crews will install several traffic pattern changes designed to slow traffic, decrease congestion, and amp up pedestrian safety.
This construction is part of a pilot program designed to increase safety on Lexington’s roads. Should it prove successful, elements of the project could be installed throughout the city. On High Street, those changes include:
- Reducing two lanes to one
- Adding a protected bike lane
- Installing “bump outs” to increase visibility + awareness of parking spaces
