The Lexington City Council convened for a work session on May 27, 2025, to discuss various agenda items, including a review of medical services and neighborhood connectivity projects.
The meeting began with a proposal for a six-month review of services provided by Undo Medical, led by Councilmember Allinger. The council agreed that the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) would present the findings at a work session, allowing for a structured overview of the services and any necessary follow-up. The council clarified that this would be a one-time review, with the potential for further assessments based on the initial findings.
Following this, Councilmember Morton addressed concerns regarding neighborhood connectivity, specifically the proposed connection of Asbury Lane. He emphasized the importance of preserving the historic integrity of the Greenacres neighborhood and expressed apprehension about the potential negative impacts of increased traffic from commercial vehicles. Morton highlighted the need for community engagement, stating that the engineering department would reach out to residents to discuss the project and gather input. He proposed that the design phase focus on drainage improvements without necessarily opening Asbury Lane to traffic.
The council then moved on to other business, including appointments and procurement communications, all of which passed without opposition. The session concluded with discussions on capital projects and neighborhood development funds, both of which were approved unanimously.
Overall, the meeting underscored the council's commitment to community involvement and careful consideration of neighborhood dynamics in planning and development initiatives. Further discussions and community meetings are anticipated to address the concerns raised regarding the Asbury Lane connection.
