A proposal for a new Taco Bell drive-through at the Interstate Park Property in Lexington is facing delays as the Technical Review Committee recommends postponement. The committee raised concerns about the development plan, particularly regarding infrastructure and traffic flow.

During the meeting on June 25, 2025, committee members discussed the need for additional surety related to the project, as well as the importance of addressing sewer capacity and traffic management. The proposed site, located off Athens Boonesborough Road, requires a series of adjustments to meet city regulations, including corrections to the scale of the plans and the identification of pedestrian walkways.

Committee members expressed worries about potential traffic congestion, especially during peak times, suggesting that the design might need to be re-evaluated to improve vehicle movement. One member proposed considering a one-way traffic pattern to alleviate queuing issues, particularly on busy match days.

The applicant, represented by a colleague due to a family emergency, acknowledged the committee's feedback and committed to addressing the concerns raised. The committee's recommendation for postponement indicates that further revisions and discussions will be necessary before the project can move forward.

As the city continues to develop its infrastructure, the outcome of this proposal will be closely watched, particularly for its implications on traffic and community access in the area.
