The 1 p.m. meeting at the Council Chamber will feature discussion of a proposed ordinance to prohibit parking in bike lanes. [The STREEET (Shared Travel Requires Engineering, Education & Enforcement of Traffic) Safety Task Force](https://engage.lexingtonky.gov/streeet-safety-task-force), formed in January 2025, made this recommendation as part of its efforts to increase road safety. The task force met 10 times throughout 2025 to investigate and advance changes needed to address public demand for safer streets across Fayette County's transportation network. The no parking in bike lanes ordinance emerged from the task force's focus on short-term safety solutions in three key areas: Engineering, Education, and Enforcement. [According to community engagement materials](https://smileypete.com/community/civic-connections_6/), the proposal would help advance recommendations aimed at reducing traffic collisions, which claimed 15 pedestrian and one bicycle fatality in the previous year. The committee agenda also includes an update on Global Lex, the city's multilingual, multidisciplinary international center that [serves the foreign-born population by providing information and access to programs and services](https://www.lexingtonky.gov/government/mayors-office/global-lex). Additionally, the committee is scheduled to consider proposed updates to animal care and control ordinances. [The Lexington-Fayette Animal Care & Control shelter receives approximately 5,500 stray, abandoned and relinquished animals each year](https://www.lexingtonky.gov/government/departments-programs/public-safety/animal-care-control) and operates year-round to serve the community. The meeting will also include approval of the committee's May 5 summary and discussion of items referred from other committees. No final votes are expected at this work session; binding council decisions typically come at the regular council meeting held later in the week. ## Sources - [LFUCG Meeting Agendas](https://lfucg.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=4&event_id=4895) - [STREEET Safety Task Force information and no parking in bike lanes ordinance recommendation](https://engage.lexingtonky.gov/streeet-safety-task-force) - [Global Lex program overview](https://www.lexingtonky.gov/government/mayors-office/global-lex) - [Lexington-Fayette Animal Care & Control information](https://www.lexingtonky.gov/government/departments-programs/public-safety/animal-care-control) --- This article was generated by AI (claude-haiku-4-5-20251001) based on source material from LFUCG Meeting Agendas, enriched with 3 web searches.
