Late last year, the Picadome Neighborhood Association requested a safety audit from Lexington’s Traffic Engineering Division for Clays Mill Road and surrounding areas, prompted by concerns over traffic impacts from a zone change request. Following this, Traffic Engineers conducted a thorough assessment to identify safety issues. Council Member Dave Sevigny, along with a Traffic Engineering representative, attended the June 7 PNA Ice Cream Social and provided an update on planned safety improvements. To enhance pedestrian and traffic safety on Clays Mill Road, the following improvements are planned:
1. Pedestrian-activated crosswalk at Reed Lane on Clays Mill Road. This will feature a traffic light that cycles from yellow to red to safely stop traffic. An island in the middle of Clays Mill Road will provide a refuge for pedestrians crossing. Clays Mill & Reed
2. Pedestrian Crosswalk at Clays Mill/Harrodsburg Road Intersection: A new crosswalk will be added to the existing traffic signal, allowing pedestrians to safely cross both Clays Mill Road and Harrodsburg Road. Harrodsburg & Clays Mill
3. Curbing on McCubbing Drive: Curbing will be installed on both sides of McCubbing Drive where it meets Clays Mill Road to enforce the existing “right turn only” traffic flow.
*All three of these improvements are on a fast track, with an anticipated completion date during Fall, 2024.
*For those interested, detailed drawings of the planned pedestrian crosswalks at Clays Mill/Reed Lane and Clays Mill/Harrodsburg Road click here: Clays Mill & Reed and here : Harrodsburg & Clays Mill
Southbend Drive will be closed from June 17 to allow construction of a sanitary sewer line at the creek crossing. The closure is expected to end before August 14, the first day of Fayette County Public Schools. Motorists can detour using Reed Lane, and residents will still have access to their homes during construction. The project is part of the Wolf Run Trunk F Sanitary Sewer Project, which aims to improve Lexington’s sanitary sewers as mandated by a court-ordered consent decree with the EPA. After completion, construction will begin on Trunk G Lafayette Parkway – Southland Drive (see below).

Application for Short-Term Rental at 305 Lafayette Pwky
An application has been filed with the Urban County Government to establish an unhosted short term rental at 305 Lafayette Parkway. The owner plans to live on the property, and rent it for short term stays whilst traveling for business, which may be as much as six months out of the year. The Board of Adjustment will consider the application for a conditional use permit at its meeting on Monday, May 13 at 1:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers, 200 East Main.
Neighbors have expressed concern about short-term rentals, so PNA is sharing an advance notice about this application before it goes before the board for a vote.
