NEIGHBORHOOD

Breaking in the Bridge

The recently opened Brighton Rail Trail bridge connects Liberty Trail with Brighton Rail Trail, and is another component of Lexington’s extensive trail system. The bridge provides a safe way for bicyclists and pedestrians to cross over Man O’ War and connect with various parks and area neighborhoods. “We currently have about $53 million in trail projects in some phase of development,” Lexington Mayor Linda Gorton said at the opening. “With the support of federal grants, we have been able to build our wonderful trail system and continue to make it even better.”

The 300-foot bridge connects more than a mile of the Liberty Trail to the two-mile-long Brighton Rail Trail. The connected shared use trail travels through

the Liberty Park and Hamburg neighborhoods over into the Andover Forest neighborhood, ending at Deer Haven Park. Users can access the bridge over Man O’ War Boulevard via ramps at each end of the structure. “We are happy to take this across the finish line,” Councilmember David Kloiber said. “Many people have put a lot of time and effort into this project over the years. We are happy it has finally culminated in an amenity that will connect more areas of the 6th District by way of this multi-use trail.” Councilmember Kathy Plomin said, “I live nearby and walk the Brighton Trail often. I am so excited about the trail’s connection to Liberty Road and Liberty Park. The trailhead is off of Walnut Hill, a 12th District rural road, and this connection gives the trail close to 4 continuous miles to walk, run, or bike. I love that it also improves on residential connectivity to Hamburg.” Brighton Rail Trail was Lexington’s first rail-trail, and it is the primary off-road shared use trail in the eastern half of Fayette County. More than 40,000 people use Liberty Park, Brighton Rail, and the Gleneagles trails annually.

Stepping Up

Hamburg Council Member David Kloiber issued, “A big thanks to the Council Team for Stepping Up for YMCA Kids!! I’m thankful for Lexington’s 5th District - Councilmember Liz Sheehan , 11th District Councilmember Jennifer Reynolds, Councilmember James Brown, Chuck Ellinger - Council At-Large, Lexington’s 3rd District - Councilmember Hannah LeGris for coming out to step. #100kforykids” Sixth District Councilmember David Kloiber walked 100k steps to raise funds for the Whitaker Family YMCA to support after-school programs for kids.

Timberrrrrrr!

At an October Council Work Session, representatives with Kentucky Utilities appeared before the Council to provide information regarding their transmission line tree-trimming work planned for Lexington in 2022—and to listen to public comment and concerns expressed by the Council and many people in attendance. Numerous Lexington residents spoke before the Council and voiced frustrations over plans by Kentucky Utilities to uproot countless trees as part of a vegetation management program to prevent trees from falling close to lines, or growing into them. K.U. implemented a new policy in 2014 that called for the removal of trees taller than 10 feet under the utility’s larger transmission lines. K.U. representatives say the cutting is needed to safeguard against power outages by keeping fallen limbs and trees out of those lines. Some residents say it’s needless butchering that puts profits ahead of people and destroys one of our community’s greatest assets. A K.U. representative said their Enhanced Vegetation Management Program is designed to “improve line safety and reliability.”

Mayor Gorton met the K.U. representatives prior to the meeting and asked that they: • Consider potential for changes and compromise to reduce the amount of tree cutting • Consider more robust revegetation on private and public property easements • Provide better notification to neighborhoods and neighbors • Allow LFUCG to provide input on the stormwater study KU intends to conduct in the Lakeside area • Study the Kentucky geological survey maps for sinkhole impacts • Implement at least a minimum 30-day moratorium to study and consider the above Kyle Burns, a representative with K.U., stated, “We did come here to listen today. We come to all the meetings to listen. We wanna solicit feedback. We want to take that and continuously improve our program.”

Neighborhood mom Brandi Romines, Happy as a Lark Cakes, made it to the top three finals of Baking Impossible on Netflix in October. She shared with friends and fans, “Well…it wasn’t the banner I had hoped to hang, but finishing in the top three of that insanely talented group is still a reason to celebrate. I finally stopped crying today long enough to take a picture. The weight of keeping that secret for an entire year, and the release of the final episodes have been mentally and emotionally exhausting. More than anything, thank you to my family, friends, local media, the people of my beloved KENTUCKY. The love and support I have felt is indescribable and I wouldn’t have survived without you all.” Athens Lunchroom is back at Athens Walnut Hill Pike with a new look, menu, and management featuring some traditional favorites and some new items at the Athens Schoolhouse.

City officials will evaluate all trees and select the two chosen for the city Christmas trees. If your tree is chosen, the City and Kentucky Utilities will coordinate with the property owner to remove it in early November. There’s no financial compensation, however removal of the tree and stump grinding is free. The chosen trees will be placed in Triangle Park and in front of the KU building on Quality Street. They will be decorated and lit Sunday, Nov. 28, as part of Luminate Lexington presented by Kentucky Utilities and Baird. Help your tree live out its Christmas destiny!

Ready to Compost? Have you heard? Lexington is launching a compost pilot for Fayette County residents with city waste collection. You must attend a free workshop led by Seedleaf to enroll. The class will cover composting basics, the types of composters we’re offering and Q&A. Attendees qualify for a discounted compost unit; prices range from $10-$30, depending on the type of composter selected. Space is limited. Register for the November workshop today!

Where do you Live?

redistrictlexington@gmail.com. Your comments will be shared with the Redistricting Committee for further consideration.

Leaf Collection Lexington offers residents three ways to dispose of leaves. Use your gray “Lenny” yard cart. Lennys are picked up on the same days as your Herbies (green carts) and Rosie Recyclers (blue carts). You may also use paper yard waste bags. And don’t forget, the city’s leaf vacuum service begins on Monday, November 8.

The Council Redistricting Committee has released a drafted map of potential council district changes as a result of the Lexington 2020 Census data. The Redistricting Committee now invites the public to provide their input on the drafted changes before presenting this to the Council for approval. You can view the drafted map and use additional GIS features by visiting the 2021 LFUCG Council Redistricting webpage: https://data.lexingtonky.gov/pages/redistricting.
