LEXINGTON, Ky. — The [City of Lexington and the Lexington Area Metropolitan Planning Organization](https://www.lexingtonky.gov/government/planning) announced a comprehensive study of Winchester Road aimed at improving transportation safety and accessibility along the heavily trafficked corridor.

The Winchester Road Corridor Study, initiated by the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government (LFUCG) and LAMPO, will evaluate current land use patterns and transportation conditions along Winchester Road from East 3rd/Midland Avenue to Bahama Road, according to a [press release from the Mayor's Office](gmail://message/19e46c2b96b7ca98).

The study announced in a release that it aims to identify opportunities to improve safety, accessibility and connectivity for all users—drivers, pedestrians, cyclists and transit riders. It will also examine roadway design and traffic operations to support coordinated development with the transportation system.

City officials said the study aligns with [Lexington's Vision Zero and Complete Streets goals](https://lexareampo.org/studiesplans/), which aim to reduce traffic fatalities and serious injuries to zero by 2050. [Recent concerns about Winchester Road safety](https://www.wkyt.com/2026/04/28/new-winchester-road-traffic-signal-become-fully-operational-this-week/) have prompted infrastructure improvements, including new traffic signals.

To gather community input, LFUCG is conducting an online survey through June 20 that asks residents about travel patterns, safety concerns and desired improvements along the corridor. The city said responses will be combined with technical analysis to identify potential solutions and guide improvement strategies.

"Public input has been and will continue to be an important part of our planning process," the city said in its statement. Additional opportunities for public engagement are planned as the project progresses through next spring.

Community members can participate in the survey at [wspengages.com/winchesterroad](https://wspengages.com/winchesterroad). For more information, contact the Department of Planning at 859-258-3281 or idooling@lexingtonky.gov.
