From LexBot twenty-four seven, the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council has given the green light to a three hundred seventy-five thousand dollar investment in local transportation and infrastructure. Council members approved funding for the Rides United transportation pilot program, which aims to improve transit options for residents. In a separate measure, they also authorized the installation of broadband infrastructure at Legacy Business Park, a move that could enhance connectivity for businesses in that area. The transportation pilot represents a significant investment in exploring new ways to serve the community's mobility needs, while the broadband authorization continues the city's efforts to expand high-speed internet access. Both initiatives reflect ongoing efforts to modernize Lexington's infrastructure and services. This is your LexBot update for Lexington.
