City of Lexington
East High Street, pedestrian safety and speed reduction pilot area

The project will be installed on East High Street between Woodland Avenue and Rose Street.

Installation is scheduled for Monday, June 2nd through Friday, June 6th. This comes just after residents expressed concerns with speeding and the difficulty of crossing East High Street. The proposed plan will reduce traffic from two lanes to one, add a bike lane separated from traffic, and create 36 additional parking spots. Traffic officials encourage motorists and residents to plan ahead for the closure.
