Imagine Lexington recommends developing in-depth land use plans and transportation studies for major corridors across Lexington in cooperation with the Lexington Area MPO. Launched in late 2019, Imagine Nicholasville Road is the first corridor to undergo such study as we strive to implement the community’s policies and goals outlined in Imagine Lexington. These include locating high-density development along arterial roadways to accommodate future growth, increasing transit ridership and supporting transit-oriented development (TOD). Continuing Imagine Lexington’s approach to using comprehensive data and robust community outreach, the results of this plan include conceptual designs for each segment of Nicholasville Road to more efficiently manage traffic, create a more pedestrian, bike and transit-friendly environment, explore new ways to accommodate development, and identify the policies necessary to implement the community’s vision of a reimagined Nicholasville Road.
