The committee will consider a revised Complete Streets Design Manual aimed at implementing Lexington's Complete Streets policy. [The manual would replace the city's Roadway Design Manual from 2005](https://www.lexingtonky.gov/government/mayors-office/complete-streets) and set standards for how [streets accommodate pedestrians, cyclists, transit users and drivers](https://www.lexingtonky.gov/government/mayors-office/complete-streets). The revised draft was released to stakeholders and the public in early June after months of engagement with engineers, developers and utility companies. The proposal calls for updating design standards for traffic calming, intersection design and utility placement. The committee will also receive an update on Empower Lexington and Solarize Lexington, the city's sustainability and residential solar programs. [Solarize Lexington has led to the installation of 78 systems on privately-owned property, with 50 installed through a city-funded grant program for low- to moderate-income households](https://www.lexingtonky.gov/news/empower-lexington-plans-sustainable-community). [The program is set to relaunch in spring 2026 as a regional effort covering six counties including Fayette, Bourbon, Clark, Jessamine, Scott and Woodford](https://www.lexingtonky.gov/government/departments-programs/environmental-quality-public-works/environmental-services/sustainability/solar-lexington/solarize-lexington). The agenda also includes an update from the Division of Water Quality on stormwater projects. [The division manages projects to improve water quality and reduce stormwater runoff across the county](https://www.lexingtonky.gov/government/departments-programs/environmental-quality-public-works/water-quality/stormwater-storm-sewer-system), with a [priority project list that includes work at Mentelle Park, Idle Hour Drive, Elmwood Drive and multiple other locations](https://www.lexingtonky.gov/government/departments-programs/environmental-quality-public-works/water-quality/stormwater-storm-sewer-system). The committee will also approve the May 12 meeting summary and consider any referred items. The meeting is scheduled for 1 p.m. at the Government Center's Council Chamber. ## Sources - [LFUCG Meeting Agendas](https://lfucg.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=4&event_id=4905) - [City of Lexington Complete Streets information and policy overview](https://www.lexingtonky.gov/government/mayors-office/complete-streets) - [Empower Lexington sustainability plan updates](https://www.lexingtonky.gov/news/empower-lexington-plans-sustainable-community) - [Solarize Lexington residential solar program information](https://www.lexingtonky.gov/government/departments-programs/environmental-quality-public-works/environmental-services/sustainability/solar-lexington/solarize-lexington) - [Division of Water Quality stormwater projects and programs](https://www.lexingtonky.gov/government/departments-programs/environmental-quality-public-works/water-quality/stormwater-storm-sewer-system) --- This article was generated by AI (claude-haiku-4-5-20251001) based on source material from LFUCG Meeting Agendas, enriched with 3 web searches.
